Komodo Dragon
All Credit goes to Boo for this photo of a Komodo Dragon. She took it through glass on my mobile phone. She took quite a few photos of this beast but I love this one because he has his tongue out!
The Komodo dragon was an impressive beast, he was so huge. We saw him at the Birmingham Conservation Centre and at first he was inside, but them he decided to come outside and great us. I’m just thankful there was a huge glass frame between us. He was a fair bit scarier than the bearded dragon we’d held the day before.
Largest Rodent!
The Patagonian Mara had us confused last time we visited The Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Centre. We couldn’t make out whether it was a huge rabbit, a kind of deer or even a type of wallaby. It happens to be one of the world’s largest rodents!
Can You See Me?
Finally, I’ve chosen this photo of a cute white faced monkey, hiding in the grass.
We had a fabulous day at the Wildlife conservation centre. We’ve been there many times before but it never gets tiring looking at the animals. They have a lovely cafe and great kids play area too. If you want a picnic there are plenty of benches. We arrived early, as soon as it opened and got home around 3pm. The weather had been fine but it changed about 4pm and we had heavy rain. Lucky we chose to leave when we did.

Hi Anne, that is one rather large looking reptile! If it’s not been given a name like Dave the bearded dragon then it’s not a cutie… Nicely photographed boo!… The Patagonian Mara is a bit of a misfit, I can see what you mean, it’s almost like it’s been made up from a bit of every other rodent.

Yes, Dave was much cuter 🙂
What a fab photo! Well done Boo!
How interesting the largest rodent is. It does look like some sort of deer.
It looks like you had a great day out x
Yes, there was no sign before and we couldn’t make it out at all, while walking it looks like a small dear, but when curled up it has a huge rabbit like head! She’s a great photographer my Boo, I’m so glad I gave her my phone. I took my fancy camera and had it on the wrong settings…at least my videos turned out ok.x
The Komodo dragon is on the scary side. Well done, Boo.

What lovely photos. The komodo dragon is HUGE. I don’t think I’ve ever seen (or heard of!) a patagonian mara before.
I had to look closely then (glasses on) as I swear I could only see wood! Then I saw him – he’s a big guy! Thanks for sharing and linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
Aww how cute is that? What a wonderful and cute photo. I do love reptiles xx
