What an exciting day that Bob and I embarked upon. We had the opportunity to spend the day at the Australian Zoo that was founded by Steve Irwin. We saw some amazing animals that just had us in awe of God's Creations, once again. Everything from Kimono Dragons, koala bears to kangaroos, tigers and crocodiles.
Although it was extremely warm outside, we were so captivated by the layout of this zoo and the habitats that were created for each of the different animals, that we were able to look past the heat that was radiating on us all day. Lots of time, love and just plain out education, was obviously put into the development of this amazing zoo. To see the genuine conservation efforts solicited through out the zoo, was heart touching and thought provoking a motivation to be a part of the change.
A story that really touched me was that of a tiger that had been born 14 months prior with a life altering birth defect. He was blind. What really got me thinking about this was the plain out sad truth that IF he had been born in the wild, his survival story would probably not be a happy one, if one at all. But because these animals are so Abundantly cared for in this zoo, the zoo keepers were able to recognize the defect in the proper time, with the proper tools, and after surgery, were able to help this tiger live each day to its fullest potential, healthy and happy, and ALIVE.
