Monday, March 09: The Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance (Part 2 - frogs and fish)

[mistressofmuses]

Part two of the trip to the zoo!

Frogs and fish. :)

(As always, we spent the bulk of our time in Tropical Discovery, which is where most of the reptiles/amphibians/fish are. I know I've shared pictures of many of these same critters before. I don't care, because I love them.)


What mossy frog? I see no mossy frog. Just some moss! (I do like the little water droplets on the moss.)

Six more frogs:

The most -_- face in existence.


Panamanian golden frog. Sadly probably extinct in the wild.


This is doing zero justice to HOW SMALL this frog is.


Fat and happy.


Dart frogs!


Lake titicaca frogs remain my beloved weirdoes.

As at the aquarium, I do really love lionfish.

Seven more fish:

Cooperatively posing fish. :)


Epaulette shark snuggling up with an eel. And a fancy fish!


These epaulette sharks were very sociable.


This guy looks like one of those little ice cream sundaes. The kind with a cup of vanilla ice cream and chocolate 'stripes'?


This kind.


So dramatic!

One last zoo post to come, featuring some reptiles!

Awww I love the frogs!! Especially the mossy, what texture *__* but you're extremely correct about the Lake Titicaca frog (and the sundae fish lolol)
