Tasmanian Devils, Kangaroos and Koalas, Healesville Sanctuary, Australia

October 8, 2014
Healesville, Australia 



The Tasmanian devils were very cute and playful.  Not at all what I imagined them to be, based on the Saturday morning cartoons of my youth.

This variety had a horizontal white stripe near their bums


Here's a mom and baby.  The back of the baby's head is to the bottom right of his mom.  This is Bennie's baby :)


This was a very active koala.  Too bad she wasn't part of my magic moment :)


The same active koala, climbing and wandering about.

They have a large hospital for treating injured wildlife.




 The kangaroos were very well fed and extremely content.

The theme of the day was "Wipe for Wildlife".  I love it!
