    Nice ones.

    The first one is reminiscent of what one sees from inside a car windshield. Ah, summer is almost here

    I do believe that's a waxy monkey treefrog in the last image. Also, that is not a crocodile newt, but some kind of monitor type lizard?

    Re: Macros from the Toronto Zoo.

    Well it was labeled as a crocodile newt. It was only 6 inches in length in total and almost completely submersed in a tank that was not much bigger than a 10 gallon tank. However they could have had it mis-labeled..... They are in a transition period in that particular pavilion. There was only one animal visible in the entire enclosure though and I have never seen anything in there before.
