I'm going to write about all the animals that we saw on our trip to Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road, and the Blue Mountains. We saw animals in the Melbourne Zoo, in the wild, and at the Penquin Parade.

In the zoo we saw 7 elephants, kangaroos with emus, wombats, and many birds. We also saw giant tortoises, giraffes, and many more animals like penguins, lions, hyenas, spider monkeys, and oranutans. Dad liked the lions and the oranutans. Mom liked the lions. I liked the penguins and the hyenas. Kyle liked the spider monkeys and the lions. Mariah liked the penguins and the wombats. Everyone liked the lions because we got to see the keepers hide steaks and watch the lions hunt them down.

In the wild there were cockatoos, kookaburras, seagulls, rosellas, parrots, wallabies and kangaroos.

We also saw thousands of cows and sheep on the dry grass paddocks when we drove.

At one of our campsites there was a white duck with an ugly red face.

We went to a penguin parade where penguins came out from the ocean to go nest with their baby. Some penguins had a hard time getting past the seaweed. Some penguins go out of the water and went right back in because the seagulls scared them. The seagulls tried to scare the penguins so they would throw up the fish and the seagulls would get it. We didn't get to see too many go right past us, gut a ton went up to their nests in a different direction.

I think there's a ton of different animals in Australia that are not in the United States. I liked going to the zoo and I like looking at all the different kinds of birds.
