Kirislin Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 wow, how long is that bears tongue! and there's a little spider on the orangutans chin, what a capture that was. Amazing photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks Kirislin... Mary's tongue is only about halfway out in that shot... Sun Bears have extrodinarily long tongues! I didn't even notice the spider on Jantan's chin - awesome spotting there! T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Here are Sunday's Taronga photos... 27-10-2013-taronga 062 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 562 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 593 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 627 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 767 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 087 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 808 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 1074 by tdierikx, on Flickr 27-10-2013-taronga 116 by tdierikx, on Flickr ... and I've saved my best for last... 27-10-2013-taronga 858-dixie2 by tdierikx, on Flickr I'm absolutely chuffed at how Dixie the Whistling Kite came out - tracking a bird zooming about with 2kg of camera handheld is hard work!

Roova Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Awwww, look at the tiny bubba! Love the photo of the large wrinkly hand holding the tiny little foot. Love the close up of the Zebra but the bird photo is just spectacular! You could count every feather if you wanted. Thanks for sharing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misha&milo Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Just a quick question. By memory the tigers are behind the thick glass walls aren't they at Taronga Zoo ?? I was there last nov ( 2012) loved it as the time before that was in 1977. It has changed so much ( for the animals better. No more cement cages) love your photos. I got some decent pics of the tigers also. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yes - the tigers and lions at Taronga are behind thick glass... which I wish they would clean on the inside more often... grrr. I've heard a rumour that they may soon be upgrading the big cat areas again... If you want to see the best tiger exhibit ever... go visit Symbio (in Helensburgh)... Taronga's bit cat enclosures look positively tiny and inadequate in comparison to Symbio's. Symbio are also getting lions, cheetahs, and lemurs hopefully in the next 12 months... yay! T.
