[Photos] Wildlife - Tern, Crocodile, Little Penguin and one Turtle

[moonvoice]

The little (fairy) penguin was very active because we were there about
twenty five minutes before its scheduled feeding time and I just get a feeling,
not many people know that exhibit is there? We were the only ones around.

Glen found the little penguin adorable,
but I really liked the crested tern. Also freshwater crocodiles.
Very sleek and narrow.


When you want to swallow a fish whole but the angle isn't right and you have to take it to the water to make the angle right.




Macquarie Turtle. This fellow was out as it was just Glen and I quietly hanging out around the enclosure. As soon as it heard some kids, it went and hid in the water again.



Little Penguin very unhappy because it was 30 minutes away from lunch and lunch hadn't arrived yet!



LUNCH!



LUNCH!!!!



On the lookout for lunch.



Freshwater Crocodile.



Teef.







This Crested Tern had a fish that it couldn't get the right angle on, so it decided to take it to the water to change the angle, and I thought its little walk was cute.

The baby penguin is a hoot!

Not a baby! Just little (the smallest species in the world, I believe! :D) He was definitely carrying on like a baby though, lol.

I've never had the opportunity to appreciate how close the Freshwater Crocodile is in appearance to a Gharial, but it really hit me with your photos. Thank you for sharing them. :)

I've never seen it active in the water before, so have never gotten photos before, but I was really struck by how long and narrow the snout is compared to Saltwater Crocodiles.
