点评:We went on Moonlit Sanctuary’s night tour and it was awesome! This was our third visit to a sanctuary while in Australia and we were still getting to see new animals we hadn’t seen before.
This tour is especially great if you’re into up-close experiences with the animals. We had ample opportunity to handfeed kangaroos and wallabys including the beefy western gray kangaroo male Curtis. We learned male fur has a strong scent that some people think smells like curry or maple syrup. I won’t commit to either of those interpretations of the smell, but it was certainly strong and distinctive!
We also got to feed squirrel gliders nectar, see reptiles, a wombat, owls, birds, koalas and pet some potaroos while they were feeding.
There were a lot of kids on our particular tour so it definitely leaned heavier towards the experiences than the detailed scientific facts. However, my wife and I asked our guide a lot of questions throughout the tour and she seemed happy and excited to answer them and share more info.
Definitely worth the trip and I would highly recommend this tour!
翻译:我们参加了月光动物保护区的夜间游览,真是太棒了!这是我们在澳大利亚期间第三次参观动物保护区,但仍然看到了之前从未见过的动物。
如果你喜欢近距离接触动物,那么这个游览项目尤其适合你。我们有很多机会亲手喂袋鼠和沙袋鼠,包括那只体格健壮的西部灰袋鼠雄性柯蒂斯。我们了解到雄性袋鼠的皮毛有一种浓郁的气味,有些人觉得闻起来像咖喱或枫糖浆。我不敢妄下断言,但那气味确实很浓烈,也很独特!
我们还喂了蜜袋鼯花蜜,看到了爬行动物、袋熊、猫头鹰、各种鸟类、考拉,甚至还在袋鼠进食的时候抚摸了它们。
我们参加的这个游览团里有很多孩子,所以整个行程更侧重于体验,而不是讲解具体的科学知识。不过,我和妻子在整个游览过程中问了导游很多问题,她看起来都很乐意回答并分享更多信息。
这趟旅行绝对值得,我强烈推荐!
