Auckland and Carpet Sharks

Recommended Posts

I came back form my holiday to Auckland a couple of days ago. Its was a really cool trip.

I did a Zoom tour at the zoo, getting to meet the cheetahs was fantastic as they were let loose in the enclousure with us :D I also got to see the new tiger cubs

And i went to Butterfly Creek. The tanks were really impressive and the butterflies were fantastic too. But the bright blue ones refused to sit still for a photo :evil: But there was no arowana in the 11 meter tank :cry:

And a Kelly Tarltons there were 2 very small baby penguins under 2 mothers :bounce: :bounce: Very awesome to see. And there were about 8 carpet shark egg capsules in a tank. And 3 newly hatched babys. The older sharks still in the caspules were moving! it was so cool to see!

When we were with the cheetahs, it was in the baboons enclosure (they took the baboon out) And the cheetahs hadn't been in there for a while so it would have scared them too much to have strangers touching them. So we didn't get to touch them. But for me, i wouldn't want to touch the cheetah if he wasn't ok with it.

It was funny, as we were walking back to their enclosure, Anubis flopped down on the ground and Osiris walked into the mens toilet! which was perfect cos he's a man (he muct be able to read :o :lol: )

After Osiris came out of the toilet:
