| Baby Zebra Having its first run |
Mogo Zoo is a privately owned zoo, in the small village of Mogo on the NSW south coast, about 10 km south of Bate mans Bay. The zoo's facilities are world class and house some 200 animals, and of those - 42 exotic types of animals, many now on the endangered list, including the white lion. They are also reknowned as having the largest collection of primates, in any private zoo in Australia.
The facilities for the tourist as first rate and certainly well worth the visit.
The animals were being extremely co-operative on the day of our visit and the photographs are a result of that perfect behaviour.
We were fortunate to have been there when the zoo's zebra herd, took delivery of a new baby. Wow how cute it was. The zoo is also home to a Sumatran tiger cub, and a young giraffe...both in full play for us.
Had a great day out at the Mogo Zoo - hope you enjoy the results of our labour as you view the photographs.

Mother nature is a wonderful thing - when something so big when born, can just get up and go for a run.

One of the many frustrations that a photographer faces is power lines - no matter where you are these days, there always seems to be a power line to over come. When visiting zoo,s the enclosures over huge obstacles, and are certainly a challenge. Almost everyone one of these photos were taken through wire mesh, reflective perspex etc etc - a challenge for sure.
I am sure my niece Lauren would be most interested in the fact that the zoo will take you on as a zoo keeper for the day...it only costs $550.00 per head!!
I would hope for $550 a day you aren't doing the usual poo shovelling a zookeeper does!!
