Pandas at the Adelaide Zoo
Panda at the Adelaide Zoo
Yesterday morning I had a specialist medical appointment in Adelaide so I took the opportunity to visit Adelaide Zoo in the afternoon. It had been many months since my last visit and I hadn’t yet seen the two pandas added to the collection late last year. I deliberately left it a few months to avoid the early rush. Despite this, I still had to line up for about ten minutes behind a line of over a hundred eager panda peepers.
The new enclosure for them is most impressive and you can get excellent views of the two animals as they move about their new homes. After viewing them for about twenty minutes – and taking numerous photos – I moved on to other enclosures, especially those featuring birds. I wanted to take more bird photos to share here on this site. More of that in the days to come.

wonderful pics, Trevor, especially the thoughtful panda with the tip of its tongue showing 🙂
VERY Cute!
[…] week on my visit to the Adelaide Zoo I was especially keen to see the Great Panda exhibit. I was not disappointed and I had excellent views of the animals, and also managed some […]
Thanks for your comments Deborah and John. Adelaide Zoo is certainly worth a visit while the pandas are here (for the next 10 years). Lovely zoo with an excellent bird collection and walk through aviary – plus many other wonderful animals on display.
Its other section – Monarto Zoo – is the largest open range zoo in the world and is only 40 minutes drive from Adelaide and ten minutes from my home. Come and stay sometime John.
