So it's gonna take a couple hours before I can go and pick up my first snake, and in an effort to stop exploding of excitement, I'd like to show you all some of my pictures of wildlife that I have taken.
For this criteria I'm ruling out all pictures I have of animals in wildlife parks/zoos/care of people.

1.) Eastern Grey Kangaroo - Lysterfield

2. ) Australian Pelican - Half Moon Bay

5. ) Echidna - near Mt. Macedon, if I recall correctly

6. ) Tawny Frogmouth - Skennars Head

7. ) Pacific Gull - Half Moon Bay

8. ) Lace Monitor - Nightcap National Park (Open for correction, I may have misidentified.)

9. ) Dusky Moorhen - A pond somewhere in the Gold Coast.

10. ) Royal Spoonbill - Wetlands along Pacific Coast Highway near Ballina

I have plenty of images of other animals, including a lot of more exotic creatures that are generally kept in parks/zoos if people want to see them as well.

Enjoy.
 
Great lacey photo! I have loads of awesome pics of some animals in South Africa, I should make a thread once the uploader starts working for me.
 
Well I just finished working on this image for now and figured I'd chuck it here, seems relatively fitting despite not being 'wild'life.

Hudson or Nelson the Polar Bear, Gold Coast.

Well spurred on by something to do with Hammerhead sharks at the Melbourne Aquarium, I revisited some other underwater shots from the past, which is also a nice segue from the half underwater shot above.

1. ) Juvenile Weedy Seadragon

2. ) Weedy Seadragon

3. ) Unknown Jellyfish - If anyone knows please let me know so I can tag accordingly.

4. ) Unknown species of Cuttlefish, again if anyone wants to fill me in...

5. ) Pineapple Fish - Thanks Waruikazi!

Enjoy, hopefully I can get to the aquarium in the next few days to check out this Hammerhead business, they're fascinating sharks...

That fish's common name is pineapple fish.
Awesome, thanks! I guess that's a pretty obvious name given the appearance.
Shouldn't have been that hard to print off a plaque with that on it and hang next to the exhibit...

I love Bears, shame it's so expensive for entry at Sea World
 
Excellent photos mate thanks!
I don't know the jelly fish's name but if it was blue in colour and the diameter of the head is about 6-8 inches I know they can sting like hell! They come in large swarms from nth coast NSW upwards. I never thought they stung I have surfed amongst packs of them heaps of times then one hit me one day and it was excruciating.

No worries, just googled it's scientific name is probably Cleidopus gloriamaris.
 
Thanks all, glad you're enjoying the pictures.
I'd like nothing more than to go out shooting right now, but I guess I'll have to settle for going through a few more images. From under water to in the air.... but on the ground. (mostly)

1. ) Ostrich
