Photos of Frogs and Reptiles |
|
These wildlife photos were taken in Bolivia, Venezuela, and the US. The anteater photos, as well as the photos
of the enormous anaconda were taken in the Los Llanos region of Venezuela. The anaconda photos, in particular,
were a challenge - acquired only after hours of wading swamps before we spotted two that had obviously recently
eaten - and both were within about fifty meters of each other. The photo of the piranha was taken in the Rio
Yacuma region of Bolivia. With the exception of the Piranha and the Amazon Tree Frog,
all animals were photographed in their natural habitat. To see more frog photos, visit my
frog gallery.

 Piranha This is a close-up photograph of the face, mouth, and teeth of the infamous Piranha. |
 Desert Tortoise #3654 I encountered this desert tortoise in the wild while hiking way back off the beaten path in the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. |
 Desert Tortoise #3658 This photo of a desert tortoise was taken at the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. |
 Amazon Tree Frog #5092 This is a photo of an Amazon Tree Frog. The unusual pattern on the eyes is a protective second eyelid, known as the nictitating membrane. |
 Anaconda #671 This Anaconda was found in the wild in a swamp in the Los Llanos region of Venezuela. It's sheer speculation what this anaconda had eaten. Perhaps it was a Capabara, perhaps a Caiman. In any case, the curves and lumps in its enormously stretched belly was something that had been alive very shortly before we encountered this snake. |
 Anaconda #672 I waded swamps in Los Llanos, Venezuela for hours looking for the famous anaconda. We found two, coincidentally spaced only perhaps fifty meters apart from each other. Thankfully, they both had very recently eaten, probably within hours. The largest of the two - both of which were enormous - was perhaps 6-7 meters long. |
 Desert Tortoise #3662 This particular desert tortoise probably wasn't too old as tortoises go - it was about 18 inches long. |
 This is a photo of an Amazon Tree Frog. |
 Blue Poison Frog #8421 This is a Blue Poison Frog native to Surinam. To see more frog photos go to TheWorldinLight Frog Photo Gallery. |
 Chameleon #3176 This Chameleon was on display in the Biodome of Montreal. |
 Chameleon #3183 The Montreal Biodome is really just an indoor zoo with aquaria (or aquariums, if you prefer). |
 Chameleon #3185 |
 Gecko #3202 I generally prefer to display photos of animals that were taken in their natural habitat, but this Gecko is one of the animals you will see on display at the Biodome of Montreal. |
 Gecko #3239 In addition to the small display of these geckos and chameleons, there is a small display of poison dart frogs at the Biodome. |
 Gecko #3240 |
