What travelers say:

The Trovana Wildlife Park, nestled in the dense jungle near Julie Creek, is a heavy ground for the conservation of Tasmanian devils. Although the zoo is not big and there are not many animal clocks, but there are kangaroos walking around in the park that can let tourists feed by themselves, hug wombat babies, and have close contact with animals, and animal managers will provide interactive programs. I saw the kangaroo as soon as I entered the door! The kangaroo here is very docile and cooperates with taking pictures. Buying a bag of specially fed food at the entrance of the zoo is only more than a dollar, and there is a big bag! Compared to the 5 yuan in People's Square, a small bag of corn that can count the number of grains to feed the pigeons is really cheap to cry without tears! It was very gentle, just a spit on my hand! At first, the kangaroos see you have food in your hand and will flock to you, and the daughter is a little scared and turns away, but they are just an innocent face and slowly follow you behind, absolutely not like some animals will chase up and grab food, so there is no need to be afraid at all, because they are really friendly. Soon, the children will gradually enter the good environment! Every day at a fixed time, the zoo will have a tour, follow the keepers to see the feeding, about 10:55, the broadcast began to predict that 5 minutes later interactive tours will start. At around 11 o'clock, the breeder picked up a small koala, and while feeding, he explained to us in great detail, and showed us its "bags." This little koala is only two months old, the koala (Wombat) is a koala, the pouch opens back, the clumsy koala is like a short-haired piglet, super cute, just touch! At that time, after the photo of the daughter holding a bag in the circle of friends, many people asked "holding a koala to take pictures for money?" and replied "no money!" In China, tourists holding animals are to make money, but abroad, they are to popularize animal knowledge and let tourists experience the cuteness of animals, so as to enhance protection awareness. This is the fundamental difference! Next, we follow the breeder to see the Tasmanian devil! Seeing the breeder come in, the little devil immediately climbs up his legs to beg for food, which is actually quite cute! But when we eat, we still see why it is called "little devil" or there is a certain truth, that howling, and chewing sound, quite scary! Although the zoo here is very simple compared to the domestic one, it does not affect the enthusiasm of the children at all. It is really rare to contact the animals so close!
