Poison dart frogs (about 3cm) on 29.06.2008 in Wilhelma/Stuttgart (poor lighting: ISO400 F3.2 1/10sec) - The genus of poison dart frogs (Trachycephalus; synonym for some species: Phrynohyas), also called toad poison dart frogs or casque-headed poison dart frogs, belongs within the order of frogs and toads (Anura) to the family of tree frogs in the broad sense (Hylidae). These are relatively large tree frogs (sometimes over 10 cm snout-vent length) with notably thick skin, which is permeated by many mucus and poison glands and can therefore appear comparatively "warty." The males have paired vocal sacs located behind the jaw angles. Poison dart frogs lay their eggs in water-filled tree holes (phytotelmata) or large leaves. Their distribution extends from Mexico through Central America to central South America, in the lowlands east of the Andes up to northern Argentina and eastern Brazil.

Turquoise Tanagers on 14.06.2008 in Wilhelma/Stuttgart - The tanagers (Thraupidae) are a species-rich and morphologically diverse family in the order of passerine birds (Passeriformes). Previously, they were classified as the subfamily Thraupinae within the buntings (Emberizidae). Tanagers are found exclusively in the Americas and on islands in the western Indian Ocean, primarily inhabiting the tree canopies in forests. Most species live in tropical regions of South America and are resident birds. Their plumage is colorful and strikingly patterned, and they have well-developed legs that facilitate life in the trees. Their song is not very impressive and weakly developed. Source = WIKIPEDIA

Gundi on 14.06.2008 in Wilhelma/Stuttgart - Gundi is a type of comb-fingered rodent. These rodents live only in the rocky mountains and dry steppes of northern Africa. They are about the size of a guinea pig (up to 20 centimeters long, tail about five centimeters) and appear rather stocky. Their fur is usually soft, their whiskers are particularly long, and their tail is also covered with long bristles. The comb-fingered rodents feed on grasses, herbs, and grains. They usually live in family groups but do not show territorial behavior. After sunrise, they come out of their rock crevices to feed, then they take a sunbath. They become active again only towards evening and retreat to the rock caves at sunset. Similar to marmots, they warn each other with whistles. They can enter a kind of apparent death-like immobility to avoid being detected by predators. Source = www.tier-lexikon.de
