Behind the Scenes

At Detroit Zoo!

A pair of snuggling Andrias japonicus

Eurycea rathbuni eggs

And one angry cobra, to satisfy the other side of herpetology

Pic quality isn't great, as we were kind of rushed for time, but I have the memories

Wow that salamander is huge...my mom would have a heart attack seeing one of those walk past her

and that cobra looks awsome!

Detroit has 6 Japanese giants, and they definately live up to their name. And that cobra was a VERY angry female. She reared up immediately when we entered the room and struck at the glass repeatedly. I'm glad I'm not the one that has to feed her.
