Australian Zoo

This is the fierce snake.  One bite produces enough venom to kill 100 grown adult human males.  So yeah, the deadliest snake on earth.  I was 1 meter away from it (through a glass window) but none the less, so bad ass.
I have plenty more pictures but this one looks the best, the koalas are so chill and just about everyone who observed them wanted to take one home.
Crikey that croc looks big, I even got some video footage of the croc show!!!
The zoo was awesome!  All of the animals were not caged and lived in there habitat.  Here's how the zoo trip started.  We all went out for "Uni" nite at the Wombye tavern and decided that we were going to the zoo the next day.  So upon waking up with a minor headache we headed to the zoo.  We took like two maybe 3 buses to get there, I really can't recall.  We got in and we just went around and saw everything.  Around 2pm they put on a Wildlife warriors show and they had birds and crocs and snakes come out into the Crocoseum.  (It's like a football stadium but way small, you get the picture).  The show was great and I have some video footage of the guys playing around with the crocs.  Cool stuff.  The zoo basically had Steve Irwin everywhere and his family is really involved too.  He was a very important part of the zoo and Australia treasured his life and what he did to help out wildlife.
