Ive been on holiday recentley, and I thought I would share some of my wildlife pics, see who can work out where I went by identifying the animal species.
Section 1 - Wild Reptiles and Amphibians
Q1. Found in the garden of the ranch I was staying on.
Q2. Found on a window at dusk.
Q3. I first so this basking on top of a mountain called Mt Scott.
Section 2 - Captive snakes in the local zoo, they are all native to where I was staying. Half of me wanted to find these in the wild the other half certainly did not.
Q4.
Q5.
Q6.
Section 3 - Bonus round.
Q7.
Q8.
Q9.
Q10. What country and what region was I in?
Heres another clue -
I was hoping to find more snakes, I went out looking for snakes everyday.
Enjoy the pics, no prizes for winner
Chris

Posted - 07/08/2011 : 10:59:27 Thanks for the comments guys.
The lizard was a fun one to get, it was basking on a rock so I tried to get closer, everytime i got close it legged it, so i was scrambling over the rocks and eventually got a pic but it was out of focus, then it dissapeared again, i managed to track it down again in that rock crevis.
I didn't think I was going to get the humming bird pic i wanted, i tried every day and had many failed attempts, they are so quick, eventually i found a place that had a load of feeders and got a few nice pics. |

Either that or Leeds. I've seen those out in mini skirts and Ugg boots on Friday nights. Scary beasts. |

Posted - 04/08/2011 : 19:24:11 Right ok then ill reveal the answers.

Ill give simmy half a point for Q4 & 7. And a point for Q8. Gmac I would have accepted Coyote food for Q9, but there arn't any Boas in Oklahoma.
Best day was at the Witchita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, it was awesome getting so close to wild Buffalo. |

Posted - 03/08/2011 : 00:05:35 Scaly isn't far off with Texas. And the Buffalo/Bison (same thing) were at a wildlife refuge so they were kind of wild.
No unfortunately not Yellowstone, nowhere near as exciting as that but it was still a brilliant experience. |
