[JaguarEtype]

If it does go bump in the night just hope your not in Australia cos it could any one of a number of things some of which we got to look at today for zoology ie reptiles and marsupials so enjoy.. some were kinda freaky.....
PS excuse my ignorance, ive already forgotten some of reptiles names.

okay this guy was hilarious, he tried to make a bolt for the woods lol (the handler had to go all steve irwin on his arse!!)
cool thing was he started off bright orange/red and moved down to a duller/ grayerorange to match the guys shirt and skin





this one i think is a species of komodo dragon this ones only a baby .. they do get LARGE (handler said he saw one crawl out of a cow after eating it form the inside out.. it had a massive GUT)




GO THE TOUNGE!!!!


the next ones quite well known.. frill neck lizard... funny thing about these guys is they dont frill up unless scared.... in which case theyll jump up on their back legs and run stright at you! (it happend to a friend of mine ... it ran up is shoulder!!)


it was just after when i took this next pic the orange lizard ran off

uy.. even though only quite small for a snake... is the deadliest of ALL snakes.. the western taipan ... luckily this one was quite tame


this is a bit blurred bit it looked cool all coiled up


this is a carpet python.. can get quite large, this ones still a juvinlie. it was hilarious when the handler put it on the ground and it headed stright towards this girl in the crowd!!!



this snake is a rainbow python (because of the way the scales shine in sunlight) its also known for being the snake with the largest body mass for its size/length.. in other words its a fat bastard.. imprssive though


this next snake is quite peculiar because of its very loose skin... looked like it had just eaten a rhino and hasnt quite restored its shape

TURTLE!!!!


okay even though this guy is quite small.. i know for a fact its teeth are fucking SHARP (ive been studying the jaws in labs.. ill show some pics in another post) he is a fresh water crocodile (not is vicious as a salt water one) although he did wriggle a hell of alot...




okay thats just about all the reptiles we were shown except for a blue tounge (my photo was shite)

ill be back in a couple of mins to post the marsupials (there are some funky ones here too) and a couple of birds
