We visited this Rainforest Habitat in Port Douglas where we got to see a bunch of native Australian animals up close. We were pretty excited when we walked in the door and saw this guy first thing
And I took a picture of this sign because I thought it was interesting how the male Cassowaries are the ones that sit on the eggs for 50 days to hatch them. And then they also are the ones to take care of the baby chicks for the first 9-18 months. I think they have the right idea :)
I loved this bird...I've never seen a black one like this before
Guy looks like he's just having a blast here, don't you think? Oh the things he does for me :) 
They had this huge area where you could walk in and feed the Kangaroos and Wallabies. I was pretty excited about this. I know the Columbus zoo has a similar thing but you can't feed them there. So we walked in and they were everywhere just hopping around. We tried to feed some Kangaroos but they were kind of freaky. Literally I think they could have beat us up because they were just so big. So I stuck to the little wallabies, who I had no idea were so small. They were so cute and would come up and eat right out of our hands. And it was even better when little babies started popping out of their pouches. Talk about adorable!
Isn't this the cutest thing you have ever seen! He kept popping his head out and his foot and tail. I think he was a little crammed in there! I really could not stop talking in baby voices to him...our videos from this are pretty funny!
There was this family there with a little girl about Tyler's age and she was so adorable chasing all the animals around. I missed my boys and wished they were there with us! They really would have loved this!
Ok, there were a few Emu's in there too and I think they had a death wish for us. They would just stare at us with their beady eyes and I'm pretty sure they were waiting for the perfect opportunity to peck us to death. Here is Guy and the Emu having a stare down. I literally could not get over to Guy because the Emu was blocking the way. I had to take a detour. I loved how there was absolutely no supervision in there with all these animals. Welcome to Australia. No worries Mate!
And this is the whole reason we went to this place...to hold a koala bear. Yay! It was a total tourist trap but it was so incredibly worth it! I felt like a 5 year old when they handed the little guy to me! I mean, its a koala bear...I don't think you can do this in the U.S. He was so soft and cuddly, even though we learned that Koala's are actually really mean in the wild. So I had to hold really still (pretend like your a eucalyptus tree, they said) and they had Guy stand next to me and just place his hand on him to be a part of the picture. So this is our little koala family picture it looks like. So funny! I think we really will hang this on our wall! :)
Our little Cassowary friend. This is a much better shot of what they look like without all the trees in front of him. Pretty cool, huh!

That's awesome. I think it's so cool you got to feed all those animals. I wouldn't have though koalas would be mean, but I guess they are bears. Really cute though!
