Binturong in the Adelaide Zoo
Binturong at the Adelaide Zoo
I enjoy visiting zoos and take every opportunity to visit the Adelaide Zoo where I am a member. I usually take a great interest in the birds on display so I can show my photos of them on my birding blog (click here).
I don’t only have eyes for the birds. I enjoy looking at and photographing the animals too. On a recent visit earlier this year to the Adelaide Zoo I saw a Binturong for the very first time. I don’t think I’ve seen one before, and I can’t recall even reading about this carnivorous animal from SE Asia. Because it is also nocturnal, it could be that it has been asleep on every other visit.
Whatever the reason, this one was out in full view in the late afternoon. I took the opportunity to get some good shots, including the information board in front of the enclosure (click on the image to enlarge).

Adelaide Zoo is my home zoo where I am a Life Member. We try to visit several times a year as well as the other section of the zoo at Monarto, an open range zoo just ten minutes drive from our home.

Over recent days I’ve been showing photos I took of the Giant Pandas at the Adelaide Zoo here in South Australia. Today I feature a few more close up shots.
The new exhibit at the zoo is excellent. It is very modern and gives the human visitors excellent close up views of the pandas going about their daily activities.

Yesterday I wrote about my first visit to see the Giant Pandas on exhibit at the Adelaide Zoo. I had avoided the initial rush to the zoo to see Wang Wang and Funi. Even waiting several months after their arrival, the zoo was still very busy. Despite that I still managed to get very good views and some lovely photos.
