Today i took the city bus to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Queensland is the only state which allows people to hold one of those fuzzy cute little creatures ;) This sanctuary also takes care of other animals such as Tasmanian Devils, Wombats, various Birds of Prey, Dingoes or Platypus. Needless to say it was a unique experience and more than worth the extra 16$ for holding one in your arms. I still think it is quite unbelievable that Koalas are only the size of a jelly bean when they are born and find their way into Mom's pouch! Also, Platypus are pretty funny animals. Kind of an OtterDuck.
Heute nahm ich den Linienbus zum Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
. Queensland ist der einzige Bundesstaat der es Besuchern erlaubt diese kleinen suessen Geschoepfe auf den Arm zu nehmen ;) Das Tierheim betreut ausserdem auch Tasmanische Teufel, Wombats, verschiedene Greifvoegel, Dingos und Platypus. Ich muss wohl kaum dazusagen, dass der heutige Tag ein einmaliges Erlebnis war. Und die extra 16$ um einen Koala auf dem Arm zu halten waren jeden Cent wert ;) Ich finde es immer noch kaum zu glauben, dass diese Beuteltiere bei Geburt nur etwa erdnussgross sind und trotzdem schon selbststaendig den Weg in Mama's Tasche finden. Auch sind Platypus ganz lustige Tiere. So 'ne Art EntenOtter.
