Moody Gardens Rainforest Pyramid

[Pirarucu]

Took some pictures during my lunch break the other day, thought you'd enjoy. I was in a rush, so I don't have too many pictures, and not all of them are the best quality.

Giant River Otters, Yzma and Dru. Ella is off display here, she doesn't get along with her sisters. Their enclosure is actually the largest in the world for their species.

Enjoy! I'll try to get some more pictures next Monday, I should have more time available so they will hopefully be a little better than these, and I will have more space on my camera. I had to delete some older pictures as I took these.

[alessia55]

Wow that looks amazing! I love the birds!!!

[Pirarucu]

Wow that looks amazing! I love the birds!!!It is. There are lots of animals I didn't take pictures of this time, I do have some older pictures. I'll post those up, and see if I can get some new ones of everybody on Monday.

[Pirarucu]

It's hard to take nice, clear pictures in here, you have to keep wiping the camera lens because of the humidity.

Wow!!! Amazing animals, and a BEAUTIFUL facility. I just found out where my next vacation's gonna be....

[Lankyrob]

Mr Awesome is ......AWESOME!! ;)

[Trent]

Nice pics!!

[jarich]

Out of curiosity, how do they have the salvadorii basking spot set up? Do you have pictures of that specifically? After that thread about how zoos have to pay special attention to hiding those sorts of things, Im curious to see how other zoos do that.

[aaron_cg]

I love Moody Gardens. Hoping to get the gf down there pretty soon.

[Donnie]

Great pictures, it looks like a wonderful place. How bad did the corpse flower smell, is it as bad as people say?

Out of curiosity, how do they have the salvadorii basking spot set up? Do you have pictures of that specifically? After that thread about how zoos have to pay special attention to hiding those sorts of things, Im curious to see how other zoos do that.His primary heat isn't hidden at all. It's this big ball of fiery gas... LOL. It is hot in the pyramid, even when it's 50 degrees outside, it can easily be 90 degrees inside. During the summer, it's actually a struggle keeping it cool enough that nobody overheats, extra AC had to be installed..
He has plenty of heat, the only times he isn't too pleased is on cloudy days in winter when the temps drop to 80 or so for a bit. On days like those, he used to climb the mesh to get higher up. Lots of people never even saw him then, he was thirty feet above them. Now his waterfall is heated, so he just lounges in there for a bit to warm up.
When the sun is out, he only ever basks in it for a minute or two before moving on. He actually avoids the patches of sunlight most of the time.

New pics from today. Not all of them are very good, I was focusing on trying to get pictures of everything, whether they be high quality or not.

That place looks awesome. Beautiful ocelot!

[Pirarucu]

Cooper is a funny little guy.. He only likes girls, he absolutely HATES male keepers, we don't even go near him or interact with him at all.
I got a video of Mr. Awesome with his catfish, his training is coming along well. Very responsive to his target, and knows to stay on his rock during feeding. If anyone knows how to upload AVCHD to YouTube I can post the video.

You should be able to upload AVCHD to youtube without doing anything extra.

[Akuma223]

Do you work there? maybe you could give me a tour if I ever go down there lol.

[Pirarucu]

Well, I suppose it's more that it doesn't show up on my computer when I plug the card in. I haven't yet gotten to the uploading to YouTube part.

I do volunteer work there. I can give you a tour if I have time, but I'm not allowed to take you behind the scenes or get you in free, LOL. If you do visit let me know, I'd be glad to show you around.

[Ivanator]

I definitely need to check that place out!
