Leanne in Argentina: last part of zoo pics, I think

This is a red deer, not a colorado deer. See, notice how it doesn´t live anywhere near Colorado.

this is an Indian deer, the label is farther down

baby!

The difficult life of a domesticated deer

noses!

Mariposas! Butterflies!

I didn´t take pictures of all of them, just there were tons of them. Really shows the diversity of arthropods.

I wonder whose collection this was... I´m sure it said somewhere

those are BIG front legs

big scorpions and little scorpions

trying to remember if this was the Goliath bird-eating spider, or some type of tarantula. Either way, it´s very impressive.

I have absolutely no idea what this is

ooh shiny colors

Natural selection was a bit better to some bugs than to others. xD

these are scarab beetles

now that´s just silly

oooh

I really like these guys, too bad I couldn´t read the label

pretty dragonflies

pretty little waterfall display in the tropical exhibit house

I got a picture of this because it looks like a monkey with a cthulhu head. It wasn´t, unfortunately.

sweet.

can you find the carefully concealed turtle?

tree frog! btw it was so hard to get the setting on my camera right, I had like six bad pictures of this guy. Worth it though.

TOUCAN

Did you know, toucans have a red butt? I didn´t either.

don´t remember what this was, and I couldn´t get a good picture of it

I actually don´t think this guy was supposed to be in there, or at least he wasn´t labelled.

mac-d´awww

these guys were in an open exhibit right outside the tropical house, and now that I think about it I´m not even sure it was an exhibit, it looked just like an area sunken down, separated by a small fence.

the elusive cat, a rare sight in parks of Buenos Aires ¬ ¬

crappy picture because there was glass up.

same thing here, you couldn´t see the chimps at all, but at least that probably means they´re not as bothered by people. Although, I saw one idiot rapping on the glass by one chimp who was just chilling.

Andean condor, the guy the Looney Tunes character is based on. Unfortunately, they´re endangered.

well, I have done the impossible: I have taken only crappy pictures of giraffes.

these guys lived with them

I wonder, do the ostriches see the giraffes as the pets, or vice versa?

don´t remember what these were, but they were labelled as Thompson´s gazelles, which they obviously aren´t.

grant´s zebra showing me his best side

silly scientists, hippos aren´t amphibians! lol

couldn´t get a good picture. Anyway, this was a striped hyena, and everyone knows the spotted ones are better.

gray fox

he brought friends!

Aw look, they have more friends!

OH GOD THEY´RE EVERYWHERE

random rooster

I couldn´t find this one, but the sign says "distinguish it by its particular smell!" Lovely.

BUTTRESS ROOTS

another bird that I saw labelled at the reserve, that I got some good photos of

cool architecture for one of the cage structures

not that great a picture, but it´s neat because this guy didn´t have any cage, just his own little island in the middle of a pond.

same with this guy, that I cant tell what it is

"lobos del mar", which literally means sea wolves. These are sea lions, not seals (there´s a different word for that)

d´aww

this one was straight up doing mermaid poses

aww, it´s just like a little otter!

PENGUINS!

I had a ton of pictures of fish. But only about thirty percent of them were at all visible. while going through them to figure out which ones to keep, I literally got a headache because the pics were so badly out of focus because fish can´t hold still for like ONE SECOND
