Everybody loves to visit the zoo. Especially the kids. We visit the zoo annually.

It’s a great place to learn about the animal - There are 135 species and over 1,400 animals hosed here, the biggest zoo in New Zealand.

You can learn animal habits, behaviour, food etc, also some conservation knowledge - a lot of them are endangered.

There are 6 areas: Africa, Sri Lanka, Aotearoa (Native New Zealand birds such as Kea), South America, Australia, and Education. Our favourite animals are Elephant, Giraffe, Spider Monkey and exotic birds…

You can also see our national bird - Kiwi bird. A shy nocturnal defenceless bird that can’t fly at all.

All photos were taken with a Canon 5D 3 and 70-200 lens

@Wisnusetiono The giant turtle is from South America. There is no predator or snakes in New Zealand.
