Interesting shot... Without size clues, it looks like it's the size of a small dog. It's the cutest little pachyderm!

Nice shot of the macaw. They can be tough to photograph in those animal shows with the short hops they make between perches.

The Toronto Zoo has a huge tank (floor to ceiling, an entire wall, about 20 feet long) for these fish. It's quite impressive.

daaaaamn I bet that's sweet!

do you know if they are african or american?

Leto · 08-17-2009, 05:48 AM

They are African. Hang on, I'll dig up some info.

Okay, specifically they are lake Malawi cichlids. Supposedly this lake is special because the fish do not compete, as they all have a specific role/function. Any way here's a couple of links:
