Auckland Zoo

 

上週末沒去爬山 我倆返老還童 學小小朋友逛奧克蘭動物園 奧克蘭動物園幅員不大 動物也不多 但規劃不錯 我們共費時4.5 Hours

看動物憑機緣 有些動物躲在樹叢裏或是夜行動物很難看到 有些動物在籠子裏可以看到 但很難拍攝到

 

Home to 138 different species and over 875 animals, Auckland Zoo has the largest collection of native and exotic animals in New Zealand. Including trails of Tiger Territory, Aussie Walkabout, Primate Trail, Hippo River, Pridelands, KidZone, and Te Wao Nui.

 

 

Tiger Territory
Come face to face with Oz

Sumatran tigers are the smallest and stripiest tiger. There are only 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild!
