As some of you already know, I took the plunge this year and finally went back to school to follow my true passion: the world of animals.

I am currently enrolled at Tasmanian Polytechnic, doing Animal Studies Certificate II.  During the course I'll have the opportunity to do work placements at different locations, and hopefully gain a new wealth of knowledge and experiences.

Yesterday, we had our very first excursion!  Tasmania Zoo were kind enough to host us for the day.

Edit:  Yesterday, Tasmania Zoo officially opened one of their new Devil enclosures.

Although I've been to Tas Zoo before, I haven't been recently, and it was lovely to see all the new exhibits, meet the new animals, and see some old favorites.

More on the course in upcoming posts... For now, here are some of my favorite shots from the day.
