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

There are more elephant photographs in my photo album on my profile. If you want to take a look

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

I love the Toronto Zoo...

I'm kinda partial to the cichlids (fish)

used to have a badass cichlid tank.. plan on starting a 200gal cichlid tank soon...


but anyway good shots

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

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:
