Some of our animals are breeds that originate in far-off lands. We have two llamas, Llewelyn and Llinos, who come from the Welsh-speaking colony in Patagonia, Argentina, South America. So they tell me, anyway!! From the same area we have Rhys the rhea. He is a ratite, or flightless bird. He can't fly but he can certainly run fast! He shares a compound with his distant cousins from Australia, our Emus, Eddie (the original 'Fast Eddie') and Emma. They are also flightless birds and bit bigger than rheas.
The Emus are made to feel at home by our family of Australian Wallabies, Bruce, Sheila and young Joey. They are like small kangaroos. Just like Kangaroos, they carry their young in the pouch or marsupium. Hence the species name - marsupials! Sheila has a baby developing in the pouch, he or she will be making an appearance any day now!!
Come and wish them g'day!
