Sleeping under Immersion

After a very fun filled first day of camp, the MATZ crew gathered up their sleeping belongings and headed over to Immersion to swag out next to the Sumatran Tiger and Orangutan. To our fortune, we had the gorgeous Sumatran tiger sleeping up against the glass panel and Puspa under her blankets not too far away from us.
As we all lay our heads down to rest for the night we had one last view of the lunar eclipse, right above the tallest platform in the Orangutan enclosure. Not too long after, dreams of the previous days adventure overcame the crew and the only evidence of their presence were their soft little snores.
After an extremely windy and noisy night, morning came around way too quickly and soon the MATZ crew were rolling up their swags and sleeping bags to head back to the Education building. But not without an early greeting from Puspa, whom patiently sat and watched us whilst packed up our equipment and headed off to our second day of adventure.
