Very grumpy looking water snake:

Boxie!

A lot of the snakes were doing this yesterday, apparently they all think it's lurve time too:

By the time you see this Gaboon Viper he's already gotcha!

What's the difference between these next two I can never remember, I just know one is an amazon tree boa and the other is an emerald tree boa:

These were the coolest damn little frogs, I don't think I'd ever seen them before, can't have been more than an inch. Hourglass frogs:

Eyelash viper:

Dumereils:

Day Gecko:

A very sleepy skink:

Feeding time for the spiny lizard:

Damn if I can't remember what this is:

Alrighty folks Last batch!

My favorite animal at the entire zoo, aside from the herps. African Wild Dogs:

Cheetahs!

Coati:

Red Panda:

A very pacey leopard, I felt bad for him

Random pelican!

White Rhino:

These Zebras made it really interesting for me, they came running up to the fence when I came over so I was able to get a nice shot:

And then?

My camera died! :rofl: So that's it. Thanks for looking guys and gals!

Lovely pictures Jenn! Looks like you had a lovely day!

Was the first snake labelled as an ATB? Because that looks like a Green Tree python (from New Guinea, Indonesia etc.) to me, with the second green snake being an Emerald Tree boa (Amazon).

Since the African Wild Dogs were your favourites, I thought I'd share these with you. I took these on my travels to Africa, I was very lucky to see them.

All the best

David

WOW! Wild wild dog pictures! Weee I love them so much.
And you're right Dave, I screwed up the snake names, I told you I always messed those two up.

The photos are all great - but thanks especially for the painted hunting dog photos - gorgeous animals, my local zoo has a pack and I think they're just beautiful.

Mind you they also have red pandas and I NEVER see them out of their hides or trees! How wonderful to see one wandering about like that.
