    From now I will detail photos of species that are new to the zoochat gallery, so we have a better understanding of how it’s being filled etc.

    This is also so we can have a database of new species to the gallery.

    I have plans to upload a photo of a certain Australian elapid which’s absence in the gallery truly shocked me as it is a common species seen in the wild and in captivity by Australian zoo chatters.

    Obviously this gallery won’t just be me, although I will have some contributions with photos of some of the local fish species in Port Phillip Bay which are not often found in captivity (temperate wrasses, whitings, etc).

    And just added another new one to the Gallery, the African tiger snake - Tleescopus semiannulatus :

    20191201_154000 african tiger snake - Telescopus semiannulatus.jpg

    From this genus 14 species are known but this is only the second one in the Gallery. The first one is an unindentified animal uploaded by @devilfish ( see Telescopus sp.?, February 2016 - ZooChat ) and was made at the Giza Zoo in Egypt which means that the snake on the photo is most prob. the Arabian cat snake ( T. dhara ) or the Egyptian cat snake ( T. obtusus ), the 2 species found most commonly in Egypt

    I have a question not completely related to this thread but they are new species. Do invertebrates count? I have some photos of invertebrates new to the Zoochat gallery.

    It is completely related, and yes invertebrates count!. If they are identified of course. Also the gallery in general is lacking a lot of neotropical species as about half a dozen zoochatters (and uploaded photos) have gone to the neotropics.

    The point of this is to have the animal in the zoochat gallery (under the media tab).
    Cool cricket though :cool:

    By the way - please don't attach photos to this thread that have also been uploaded to the gallery.

    Once they are uploaded to the gallery, use the embed function to include it in this thread: use one of the two options highlighted below on the media page.
