Road trip
Today we went on a small trip to Randers regnskov (Randers rain forest) and AQUA.
Randers regnskov is a indoor recreation of the rain forest in south America, Asia and Africa and most of the animals are running free in each area, even a snake pit where all the snakes are crawling around free among visitors. AQUA is a research/learning center for freshwater lakes and streams, where they have lakes and rivers where you can be in a building and look out into them through a large window truly natural conditions and also different enclosures outside with animals as seen in the wild.
First pictures are from Randers regnskov.
This is a Marsh Mongoose might be hard to see but it is eating a mouse.
This is a little monkey that was running around on the guard rail, it had a nest in one of the trees just below so was a great way to guard.
Not a good picture but this is a sloth almost at the top of the dome from bottom to top the dome is about 120-130' and it was at about 80-90' up and crawling on a pipe of some sort, we where told that it would take it about 1 day to get from where it normally should be and around the dome on that pipe before it was back again, this one was wandering free.
Cave Porcupine, was in a enclosed area since they tend to be slightly nasty.
And this is the reason why they would be a little more nasty than normal. They had pups.
