The Wildlife Park at Mole Creek was absolutely amazing. The pictures speak for themselves, really. We patted wombats, watched Tassie Devils fights and play, and we hung out with kangaroos for nearly an hour. The animals were all so used to people so they weren't even afraid of us.
Wombats are pretty much the cutest little fat things ever. They are closely related to the koala. Unfortunately, there were no koalas at this wildlife park. Koalas do not live in Tasmania, but the park used to have them. Unfortunately it died just a week before we got there from liver failure.
Devils have their names for a reason and we weren't allowed to actually interact with them. But just watching them was pretty awesome anyways.
This cockatoo was pretty cool because it said "Hello," and it said it in an Aussie accent. Obviously, because that's how it hears it's keepers speaking.
The grand finale of the day was definitely the kangaroos. They were Eastern Grey Kangaroos. The one in the picture with me and Becca above was a joey, so he's just a baby, maybe 5 months old. His mum didn't even care that we were petting him. She just layed around being lazy... which is pretty much all roos do. Locals call them huge pests, but they are still pretty amazing in my book.
