Animal photos!

[telophase]

Went to the Dallas World Aquarium with puppleball and a few other friends today. Pictures below the cut.







Looking down at the Tunnel o'Fish -- this exhibit is a Central American cenote, and you can walk trhough a tunnel at the bottom and look up at sharks, sawfish, rays, etc.


Ugly fish!


Sad owl is sad. (He was actually sleepy and trying to stay awake, but succumbed to slumber shortly after I took this picture.)


The Toby in his natural habitat: online.


The Toby noticing a sawfish


Shaaaaark!


Checkered fish!


Serious monkey is serious.




There's actually an anaconda just out of frame, but I didn't get a good picture of her.


Dramatic monkey emotes.


HAWT XXX ACTION! (As we are all twelve years old in our hearts, this was the high point of the trip.)






Tamarins!




This is pretty much how you saw the tamarins as theyw ere zipping at top speed throughout the enclosure.


Large catfish!


Roseate spoonbill.




Pensive tree kangaroo.






There will probably be more later, as Toby sent me the pics from his phone.

Wow, I love the toucan. And tamarin power!

That is one butt ugly fish! And an adorable owl.

Awesome! I love tamarins the best, even blurry ones.

:) They were very small and very fast!

Great photos! That turtle is really working it. Will and I went to a charity zoo thing where tickets were a little more expensive and they served beer and wine and shut out all the kids. Not that I hate kids, but it is a completely different (awesome) experience to see the animals without ten-thousand kids shouting NEMO!

Thanks! That turtle wasn't going to let anyone stop him from having a good time!

The charity zoo things sounds nifty. A couple of years ago, Toby and I went to our local zoo when it was a really cold day, with a few snowflakes in the air. It was awesome--while cold, there was almost nobody else there. Of course the African animals were off display, but you can't have everything!

Ugly Fish looks really surprised. "DO NOT LOOK AT MY HIDEOUSNESS!!"

Monkey moustache!

What is that bird in the last picture? I've never seen anything like it before, but it is made of awesomeness.

Alas, I don't know what that last bird is--I wasn't reading any of the signs. XD
