SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND

[africancichlidau]

Here Here Greebs old boy! There is enough of a bunfight over the scientific names let alone the common ones!
What was his answer to the Tiger question?

 

[Fuscus]

Common names are meaningless, they change from place to place, How many of you have heard of sleepy lizards or funeral cockatoos?

 

[africancichlidau]

Sleepys yeah, undertakers no

 

[bigguy]

Greebo, a jungle is a overseas term for a rainforest, so I have no idea what that keeper was on about. Every Rainforest in Australia is a Jungle They are one in the same.

As for changing a name because you dont like it, you are probably right. It was the Scientist's at the Queensland Museum who tried to have the name changed from Fierce Snake to Inland Taipan to try and varify their findings that it was in the Taipan family. lots of herpetoligists still dont agree with their findings, thinking they are more closely related to Browns or are a distinct species in themselves.

Capyptorhynchus funereus. I spend most of yesterday tring to photogragh a large flock I came across. Didn't get any good photos though , this is the best.

 

[bigguy]

Fuscus, I cant enlarge you pic but they look a lot like the Yellow Tail Black Cockatoos tha live around my area here at Gosford

 

[Fuscus]

Attempt to post photo 2. There seems to be a problem with posting 800 X 600 jpgs. ANd they are Yellow tailed blacks.

 

[Fuscus]

[lutzd]

Just for the new guy, since your all being so confusing, I cant follow this thread.... IT IS A COASTAL TAIPAN.... they are having some kind of joke that I cant follow but an Inland Taipan looks significantly different to that, and the Inland Taipan is also known as a Western Taipan, Fierce Snake, and Small Scalled Snake. The pic is of a Coastal Taipan anyway regenold.

lol. Black cockies. The Abos say that the number that fly over is the number of days rain we would get. I wish.

lol @ The Taipan post. It's a beauty nonetheless. He wouldn't hurt a fly" Is their venom ineffective to flies ? lol

I think I must be odd. I can make sense of this whole topic, apart from your thread, lol
