 Lunch hut in a sheep pasture |
| Last,
we were allowed to hold a couple orphaned joeys. Beth is holding a tammar wallaby,
and I am holding a gray kangaroo. Then
it
was off to lunch. We had lunch in this shed in the middle of a sheep pasture. |

 sea lion pup |
| We
then traveled to Seal Bay. These are Australian sea lions. They spent
most of the time sleeping on the beach with short bouts of fighting. This
pup was
waiting for its mother to return from feeding. It was chased around by
some young males
before it escaped off into surrounding scrub. |

 one day old sea lion pup |
 Ligurian bees |
 weedy sea dragon |
On the way back to the bus, we saw this recently born pup in the scrub. It had been born the night before and was looking for its mother's teats. Last stop on the tour was a trip toa honey farm. Kangaroo Island has the only know population of Ligurian honeybees. They are known for their docility and high productivity. That night we went on a penguin tour, but before leaving the marine center we were able to see a variety of local fishes and invertebrates including this leafy sea dragon.
