Fish and Flamingos

Since yesterday’s walk was in the dark I have had to dig into more of the pictures from my trip to the Assiniboine Park Zoo earlier in the month for today.  I have some of the fish from the Discovery Centre and some Flamingos from Toucan Ridge.

It is looking like it should be an ok evening for all the little ghosts and goblins tonight.  The temperature is going up to 10C by afternoon and will be dropping by then, but it is not supposed to rain or snow today.

Many years ago I tried keeping a marine aquarium, but failed miserably at it.  I love the Clown Fish and would have been happy with a tank full of them.  Of course, they don’t get along with other Clown Fish, so I only had 2. There are so many different kinds but they are all beautiful.  The only critter that thrived in my aquarium was the anemones which the Clown Fish like to hang around with.   You can see parts of the anemones in both pictures.  The store took the anemones back when I realized that a salt water aquarium was too much for me to handle.

On Africam so far today we have seen Cape Buffalo, Zebra, Elephant, a mystery critter, Saddle-billed Stork, Egyptian Goose, Black-headed Heron, Brown-hooded Kingfisher, Impala, Vervet Monkey, and Giraffe.  Click here to see today’s pictures.
