Lemurs

So the first day we arrive at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, we are let through the gates a little early, before the safari drive part of it is opened. We parked at the main building, and, walking over to it I see a lake with two little islands in the middle of it. On one island are Spider Monkeys and on the other are... LEMURS! they are in an area where you don't even have to pay to see them! 
Family forgotten, and with the hugest grin on my face I make for the Lemurs, one hand in my bag digging my camera out. There they are. Sitting in a perfect little line, warming themselves in the morning sun. I am complete. 
I have seen Lemurs.

MEERKATS

As I mentioned in my previous post, we were lucky to see the Baby meerkats on both days we visited the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. Here are a few photos I took and a short video of these adorable little critters.






and no that is not me talking in the video.
