Green Tree Python
It is surprisingly difficult to get photos of snakes with both ends in focus.
Rainbow Lorikeet
The rainbow lorikeet’s tongue is black because all their colour is on their outsides.
Mossy Frog
Despite it’s name, this frog is not actually mossy.
Kangaroo
Invisible teddy bear
Naked Mole Rat
This is the best photo of a naked mole rat I’ve ever taken.
Usually, they’re hiding because it’s daytime and they have scratched the heck out of their glass front so there’s no chance.
They’re not the prettiest animal out there, but for a critter that lives a weird sort of mammalian insect it sure does look the part.
Jade Headed Buffalo Beetle
Insects are little photobombers.
Vet Station
The Oglebay Good Zoo is named after Philip Mayer Good, but it’s a pretty good zoo nonetheless. It’s a small zoo for a small city, but they do a lot with what they’ve been able to get.
In particular, I like this little kid-sized vet clinic with various instruments and exam tables. Not pictured is the rack of stuffed animals over to the right where kids can select their patients, ranging from tigers, to wolves, to dinosaurs.
