Going to the zoo is not an activity I look forward to. I find that boring. There is a lot of difference between seeing animals in the wild and seeing them in zoos. The poor souls don't 'live', they simple exist in the man-made habitats. Any day, I would prefer seeing them on Animal Planet rather than in the unappealing confinements.

I wanted to see a live Kangaroo in Melbourne, and heading to the nearby Melbourne zoo seemed to be the convenient option considering that I couldn't find enough time to do a wildlife trip. The kangaroos in the zoo disappointed me that day, showing no signs of enthusiasm and few of them even looked sick. They might have been resting after a heavy meal, but I was disappointed of not being able to get any lively pictures of the national symbol of Australia. I decided to move on to other sections of the zoo and let them 'live'.The Zoo has a good number of animal species from around the world making it a favourite among the places of interests for the tourists.

Now you know what I went for and you can see what I have got. This picture was shot at the reptile section of the zoo. In this photo, it is all about the position of the light source.
