Toronga Zoo!
Honestly, I didn't think I could be so excited to go to a Zoo, but guess what? I was. Toronga Zoo is one of Ogilvy's clients so being an employee we get free passes to go to the Zoo, and I was more than happy to use them. Just a short ferry ride out of Sydney Harbour, I was on a whole other plant. At moments, you can almost forget that you are in Sydney esp when you see all of the amazing animals, then you look up and see the Sydney skyline just above the Giraffes enclosure.
We started the day with the Giraffe's (my favorites!) where we got to listen to the trainer talk about the animals as they fed on carrots and eucalyptus leaves (see video) then we watched the Seal Show (awesome) then moved on to the Gorilla feeding, then to the baby elephant, the Bird Show, and then the sky-tram overlooking Sydney and the whole zoo. Go zoo big or go home.
The baby elephant was pretty special however, as it is actually Australia's first elephant born in captivity. His name is Puk Chai, which after looking up the meaning was quite dissapointed in the name... it means quite litterally 'Son'. Horrah Toronga for your baby elephant, but p.s. your naming conventions suck.
