Please Don't Feed The Animals

Another exhibit we enjoyed was the Academy of Sciences cafe. We rushed the lines for bottled water and found ourselves in the midst of a very Ikea-ish feeding experience.

In addition to the aquatic scenery, the rainforest exhibit proved to captivate our interest. (Aside from the numerous strollers, toddlers, and the disregard of the requests for no flash photography.)




This snake made me wish I was its tree.




Of course I love the fact that they eat their web every night and build it all again in the morning. Not just resourceful, but elegantly hardcore.




At first it sounded as if they were bickering, but I think their chatter is very similar to my grandparents never-ending squabble.



My survival instincts are obviously askew. To all other animals, this frog's coloration says "don't touch me I'm deadly". I of course want to pick it up and stroke its tiny head.
