Went to Taronga on Saturday to see the new Great Southern Oceans (GSO) display. But couldn’t help visiting the Reptile House too. So here are some pics.

I’ll get the GSO out of the way first –

I love the Komodo Dragon.

Is it just me or does the Leopard Seal look quite skinny?

 

[Hickson]

It's a young male. Might look that way because of the way it was twisting in the water. Looked very healthy.

He banged his face on the glass trying to bite her head. They've since put up guard rails to stop people getting that close.

Lol it looks like that little girl is about to be eaten by the leopard seal

 

[Hickson]

I waited ten minutes for those pics. I saw him poke out his tongue just as I got to the exhibit, and had to wait a while for him to do it again. One poke every two minutes. The open mouth at the end was a bonus.
