Animal photos

[den]

Miscelaneous photos. Tomorrow I'll post what I took on the way home.

But first, I forgot to post this one yesterday. It's the inside of one of the 6 oil storage tunnels built during the air raids of 1942. It is 3m wide, 5m high and 171m long.




Brolgas, Australia's only crane.


Male bustard. They are common around central Queensland, and extinct everywhere else.


Gecko. Having one of these drop on you during the night causes much leaping and Aargh!ing.


Treefrogs. Geckos and treefrogs are threatened by the cane toad, which has finally reached Darwin.

Heehee. I figured that he knew what he was doing around those critters. He must; he's still got all his arms and legs! I smelled a media rat the minute that very short video was aired, and I know how camera angles can deceive. From what I've heard about him, he's devoted to animals as well as his kids. I hope he comes out of it ok...
