With more than 320 species on view, Melbourne Zoo offers a window into the diversity of the world’s wildlife. There are designated time slots each day for visitors to meet the keepers at some of the animal areas. See them feed the animal and explain about conservation projects or interesting facts about the animal.
The zoo's botanic garden setting also provides a relaxing atmosphere with a variety of landscapes, from the Victorian-era formality of the main drive to the lush jungles of the African and Asian rainforest areas.
Have a walk down nature's lane, you'll find that God is such a creative God that He even created some animals that have no apparent reason to be there. And when we look at His beautiful creation and the variety of it, wow... you'll see Him at work; you'll be amazed!
Looks like this lizard's body is too fat for its small legs to carry it. It's lapping on the water with its blue tongue.
Meerkats! So cute when they stand up on their hindlegs.
This looks so much like a peacock.
Ostrich holding its head up high.
Zebras have shorter necks than horses. Did you spot the giraffe behind it?
Erm... sorry, don't know the name of this deer-like animal.
Giant Tortoise with its keeper. Yes, they are huge and look like rocks, but it's real. They can grow up to 150 kg. This one's still in its teen years.
Emus are like ostrich, but they don't have wings.
Poor bear, he's got nothing to do all day except just lying around

Here's another kangaroo. They basically just sit around, that's because they are not in the wild.
