    i will be glad if australain zoos capitalise on their location and get a better collection of southern hemispherian marine animals. i'm keen to see more leopard seals and penguin species in the future....

    info on leopard seal

    brooke is approximately 7 years of age, and came to taronga zoo as a rehab case after being attacked by a cookie-cutter shark.

    Those are good shots- shows how friendly these ferocious looking creatures can get in captivity. Was Georgia male or female?
