The Year 1 students of Talara Primary College had a fantastic day at the Australia Zoo recently. We saw lots of great animals and we even got to touch some animals we had been learning about at school. The crocodile felt bumpy and the koala was soft and furry. It was amazing to see so many animal babies. The cassowary chicks were running around looking for food and the new koala joey was adorable as it clung to its mother. We would love to know how old the joey is. We have learnt that koala joeys are about the size of a jellybean when they are born and then stay in their mothers pouch until they are fully developed. The wombats were playful as they chased a zoo keeper and the croc show was by far everyone’s favourite. Thanks to all the staff for making it a memorable experience had by all.
