Day 10 – Tulsa Zoo (2): Fish, Reptiles & Amphibians

Poison Arrow Frogs

Poison Arrow Frogs

The poison arrow frogs in the rain forest exhibit at the Tulsa Zoo were pretty amazing. They just had a small wall separating them from the walk way, I’m surprised they don’t jump out.

Cece’s a huge reptile fanatic and wanted pictures of everything for Bob, her boss at the American International Rattlesnake Museum, and I’m most interested in the cool fish so thats what the majority of all our Zoo pictures are of. Unfortunately, fish and reptiles are also the most difficult to photograph because everything is behind glass, camouflaged behind leaves, or in dark murky water. Some of them managed to come out ok, here they are.

Again, I tried to take pictures of the signs for everything so we’d know what they were later but if I forgot to label something that you know what it is, let us know in the comments. Thanks.

These are from the Asian Fish Exhibit. They called this next one a Chinese Dragonfish, it looks more like an Arawana from the Amazon to me, I used to have one and was my favorite fish.

  • Those snakes freak me out, but I am a lover of all fish at least.

    Saltwater fish are the most beautiful, in my opinion. Their colours are stunning

    Thank you so much for coming by the blog. I really hope you and your GF get to revive her language. It seems like such a small thing but it’s priceless.

    You know, that reminds me of the Ainu in Japan. They’ve been stamped out so much that their language is dying, and the last Ainu grandmother has died, and now the Ainu children can’t learn their own native tongue

    Your GF’s story reminded me of them.

    I also think that it’s sad that parents don’t let their kids learn the native languages, in fear that they won’t learn the language of the society.

    That is NOT true because there are kids who grew up only speaking one language until the age of 5, and learned the second one after.

    And they sound perfectly native in both.
