Walla-Who?

Taken at Cleveland MetroParks Zoo - Cleveland, OH

With the Australian Adventure section closed for the cold weather, I didn't get to really see them when I'd been there in March, but yesterday was a bright, sunny lovely day. So after my volunteer zoo walk-through I sauntered through the area. It's a great place because there are sections where the macropods can hop right up to zoo visitors and then across the path to the other side.

This one, a wallaroo I believe--someone please correct me if I'm wrong--wanted to get across the path but there were too many people and it was slightly nervous. I snapped some photos of it while it pondered to cross the path or noth, and then I helped her by keeping the visitors back for a few minutes. After about a minute she went hopping across to the other side and I felt a little proud for helping her.
