Zoo photos

06-07-2008

I went and dug out my pamphlet thinking I was about to be looking pretty foolish, but the one I've got definitely shows humpback dolphins (beaks too long and melon wrong shape for bottle-noses) although I could quite agree the colour is a product of photoshop. Its an aquarium pamphlet with the dolphins just on the back cover. There's a dodgy-looking photo of two dolphins "spy-hopping" and a second one of a leaping dolphin (showing the dorsal fin). I was quite disappointed that the dolphins in the real show weren't pink ones :-(

Zooish do you know what species are kept in the new dinosaur decendants exhibit?

Have you any pictures of the tarictic hornbills?

I've just come back from Singapore, and I would really reccomend the bird park. The parrots are so amazing. The colours are great!

I also got bitten by a red lory!

Must be another version. I have one which is distinctly photo-shopped bottlenosed!

Maybe the young ones were used for the show when you visited. The oldest male named Jumbo is a beautiful shade of pink (not bubblegummy though) with some grey spots.

Haven't had time to visit! Was out of country for a while.

I believe only Ostrich, Emu, greater Rhea and Double-wattled Cassowary are displayed at Dino Descendants.

They reduced the number of cassowary pens to build more viewing shelters.

getting back to the original topic of gallery photos, I was just wondering what the very first photo uploaded was?

if you squint really hard you can probably make out a magpie-lark somewhere in there

the second one wasnt a zoo photo either the first animal one was a Mandrill at the Beijing Zoo!

I was using that as a background image on my computer at the time, so it was the first photo I could find to do a test with!

That's nice. I'm sure there will be many more to come. Al has posted some nice pictures recently.

Overall I've uploaded 1000 photos onto the gallery, and it looks like Al is soon to follow!
