snakes
Inland Taipan, the most poisonous snake in the world, found in Australia. There was a friendly guide there and she asked me if I knew much about snakes as I was busy snapping. Then she pointed to this one and asked me to take a pic as the snake is pretty reclusive and normally hides behind rocks.
Rock Mamushi, found in inland China
Chinese cobra; ni hao?
lion fish
The snake room
What the building looks like from the inside, looking at the long flight of stairs stuck onto the tropical enclosure.
on the other side of the building is all the standard science center stuff, games and learning things.
mock space ship
the loo.
the bed
this one is interesting, its a sensitive plate that picks up the latent background radioactivity in the earth. The white streaks are the radioactivity. Mesmerizing to watch.
Back to the fun live stuff. Sole fish that is good at camouflage.
Theres also a large 'outdoor' area
fire belly toad. Most poisonous in Sweden and has a call that sounds like church bells.
I spy

Then theres this tunnel like thing with mist machines. very cool, figuratively and literally.
discover water
mock alpine forest
a beehive.
wonder where it leads to
more suckers
then its back to the tropical area, this is an electric eel.
fresh water ray
this one is great: leafcutter ants.
very strong ants
poisonous frogs. theres a green one but it only comes out in the night, so says the guide.
Anaconda. shudder.
they have a very well stocked shop too. and I was tempted to buy a fuzzy ball, but the thought of carrying it throughout the whole day wrecked my shopping intentions.
