Living Planet Aquarium, Part Four--South America Section

The South American section of the aquarium was pretty cool--lots of interesting animals to look at.

Snake...gross!

Gecko.
There's a 13.5 foot anaconda in there--someone thought they were going to keep it as a pet and then realized maybe that wasn't going to work out so well and donated it to the aquarium...really people? Did you think about that at all before you got a snake that can grow to be 24 feet long??
I think that's a spotted manta ray, who gets to hang out with the anaconda.
Piranha--doesn't look too dangerous, does it?

This is the smallest of the crocodile species.
Some big fish.
Some more big fish.
This is a "four-eyed" fish, which actually only has two eyes but the pupils are divided so it can see both above and below the water at the same time.
I think this was the poison dart frog, which is actually only poisonous when it eats a particular plant.

A yellow frog.
Another gross snake.
Some colorful fish.
An electric eel--who gives off a lot of voltage; they said that it the winter, they actually hook him up to a Christmas tree and he provides enough electricity to keep it lit. Cool!
