My wife and I went to Sydney and visited the Taronga zoo… flew all the way from NYC, only to find the Kangaroos were having a nap! (So was the Koala). We did get to see smaller Wallabies and even got to touch a Quokka (with supervision, very rough fur!) at the smaller zoo in Darling Harbor the next day. We did miss out on Wombats because they are Crepuscular (dusk and dawn active), but got to see Tasmanian devils and a lot of rare animals from elsewhere in the world. Cut to us back in NYC and we find out: the Staten Island zoo has Kangaroos 🦘! Trekked out there from Queens and sure enough they were up and bouncing! (Plus there were Emus in the same enclosure). So we went all the way to Australia, only to find bouncing Kangaroos two boroughs away. (Plus the Central Park childrens’ zoo has a Kookaburra, beautiful bird, but a very strange song.
