Cleland Wildlife Park Adelaide, SA

Here we are interacting with some of the wildlife at Cleland Park in Adelaide. The roos were very friendly and very sleepy, but they still ate the food we offered right out of our hands.
Priscilla the Koala munching on tender eucalyptus leaves! There are hundreds of varieties of eucalyptus trees, but the Koalas eat leaves from only a few types. Their habitat has been endangered in many places.
We became instant friends with Priscilla. She was orphaned as a baby and now lives at Cleland with about ten other koalas. Wild Koalas join them from time to time so the wildlife managers have to count them everyday.
Wallabies are a type of small kangaroo. This mom and joey have different ideas about where to hop next.
Sad, but true, we have seen koalas, echidnas, and kangagroos who have met their fate on the roads at night.
