Wow Ariel! I just clicked your link here for the first time and it's awesome-picture-overload in here! And you took a picture of one of my favorite animals- an armadillo! I love the way those guys waddle! Tee hee! >_< Plus getting to see them actually ALIVE is great... and since I'm in Texas, unfortunately it's not too common either. They tend to be roadkill. Poor little guys. T_T
Anyway, back on topic... your pictures are great! It makes me want to go to a zoo... not my zoo though. Mine sucks.


EDIT: Oh yeah, and I LOVED the moth and butterfly pictures... I HAD to include that.

Thank you, glad you like it. and ya, that armadillo is the the cutest thing EVER. I've really got to get a vid of how he scuttles around. God, I could take him home he's so cute >w<

Thanks again.

Wow so many nice pix and animals, thanks for sharing. Both of our zoos here don't even have that many animals.


The mountain lion look kinda thin.

Is that a albino sea turtle?
