Welcome to the jungle

These photos were taken during a recent tip to the Omaha Zoo:

This is, currently, my favourite animal in the world - the Leafy Sea Dragon.


The feet of a gorilla...it is quite spooky how it resembles a human's foot.


Predators in captivity tend to live longer than usual due to the excellent medical benefits package and lack of competition.


And what would a trip to the zoo be without a look at the underside of a jellyfish?


A peacock and peahen demonstrate the principle of sexual selection, while not caring a wee bit for how close this human got to them.


Dressed for dinner...


Malayan tapirs indulge in a zoo-bound animal's typical pastime.


Are you talking to me?
