firefish Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I came back form my holiday to Auckland a couple of days ago. Its was a really cool trip. I did a Zoom tour at the zoo, getting to meet the cheetahs was fantastic as they were let loose in the enclousure with us I also got to see the new tiger cubs And i went to Butterfly Creek. The tanks were really impressive and the butterflies were fantastic too. But the bright blue ones refused to sit still for a photo :evil: But there was no arowana in the 11 meter tank And a Kelly Tarltons there were 2 very small baby penguins under 2 mothers :bounce: :bounce: Very awesome to see. And there were about 8 carpet shark egg capsules in a tank. And 3 newly hatched babys. The older sharks still in the caspules were moving! it was so cool to see! Baby in egg capsule: Newly hatched: Adult: Video of the baby moving: Its the head thats pointing up I have lots (500) photos form my 6 day trip, so if you want to see anything specific, just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northland chic Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Did they have a red spider/antlered crab at Kelly Tarlton's? My partner gave them one a couple of years ago now and we never heard what happened to it. Thanks NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreedingFrenzy Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Cheetahs? I did work experience at the zoo for 5 days, something that they offer high school students, and I got to pat them (for free), was like the best thing ever. Edit: Btw - love the baby in the capsule video, way cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 and then they tear your arm off and you're like, "man that was so cool" i thought carpet sharks in auckland were those guys in suits that try to upsell you stuff in their shops eg for cell phones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 When we were with the cheetahs, it was in the baboons enclosure (they took the baboon out) And the cheetahs hadn't been in there for a while so it would have scared them too much to have strangers touching them. So we didn't get to touch them. But for me, i wouldn't want to touch the cheetah if he wasn't ok with it. It was funny, as we were walking back to their enclosure, Anubis flopped down on the ground and Osiris walked into the mens toilet! which was perfect cos he's a man (he muct be able to read :lol: ) After Osiris came out of the toilet: Me with Anubis: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
