Well, long time, no post. The s/o and I went to the Detroit Zoo yesterday and took a couple of herp photos.


Crocodile Lizard


Fly River Turtle



Can't recall the species of rattler... Prarie?

Finally, being a bird-geek, here's a blurry pic of a lifer for me.
Juvi Black-Crowned Night Heron:

Now that you mention it, the Turtle does remind me a bit of a Manatee!
Glad you enjoyed the pics

Apparently these guys are in high demand in the pet trade??? I don't know, I had never seen one in person before the zoo trip, but on another forum I frequent, they seem to be a controversial topic of discussion.

Quite a bit, actually. I saw a few adults while I was there too, but couldn't break out the camera in time!

Here is a picture of an adult BCNH.
