With family visiting from overseas who absolutely love animals, especially cats, we naturally had to ensure a trip to one of the three Zoos Victoria sites. On her first visit to Australia, we took Jasminka to Healesville Sanctuary and so this time we arranged to have an afternoon at Melbourne Zoo with a couple of extra special encounters. We arranged to meet up a little over an hour before the first encounter so we could take Jasminka around to see some of her favourite animals.
Even though we were not meeting up until the early afternoon, we once again arrived early to Melbourne Zoo, eager to visit many of the wonderful animals, especially the big cats. Our first stop was to visit Binjai, the Sumatran tigress, on the Trail of the Elephants. Binjai was busy eating some grass and sniffing around her habitat, seemingly playing a game of hide-and-seek with visitors.
