Lone pine zoo

Two weeks ago, I went to Lone Pine Zoo with my friend. I was looking forward to seeing a kangaroo and koala for the first time. We took the bus for around 25 mins.

As soon as I arrived, I knew that here is the Lone Pine Zoo, because there's a big sign. So we took a picture and then went inside.

We didn't have a long wait, because we had already bought our tickets at an agency. Inside the zoo, there were slightly strong smells, and first of all we saw snakes and birds.

We walked further inside where we could see the koalas. I saw one for the first time. So it was novel and very cute. But most of the koalas were asleep. I don't understand that:  it wasn't sleep time.

We took pictures together with the koalas. We went inside, we met a kangaroo. It seemed to be a little small. I heard that a lot of the kangaroos at the zoo are the smallest kind of kangaroo.  I saw for the  first time a kangaroo fallen asleep. We bought kangaroo feed.  I tried to feed the kangaroo. My hands were covered by spittle of a kangaroo.

We moved on to the other animals like parrots, dogs, koalas.... If you take a picture hugging a koala, you have to pay $16. I didn't want to do that, but my friend did. She told me that a koala is a bit  heavy.

We saw all around the the zoo and then we ate a snack. We waited for a bus around 30 mins, and then we went back to the city.
