A 105-foot-long stream and three ponds provide a home for pond turtles, fence lizards and skinks, and chorus frogs. (Taken from the San Diego Elephant Odyssey web site: Elephant Odyssey)
I regret the use of the word frogs in regard to the picture uploaded. While uploading these pictures I was remiss in not doing the research necessary to label them properly. My intent was to provide a visual image (I'm a photographer) for those persons interested on this website. I have no formal training in biology, reptiles, amphibians, animals, insects or pretty much anything having to do with nature. My formal training is in economics, computer science, nuclear propulsion and lately, acquisition. Of the 1,750 plus people on zoochat I am confident someone will find fault with pretty much anything I post. And I am confident that you are not the only person on zoochat that got a little laugh from my mis-labeling of this picture and several others. However, much to my pleasure, several people on zoochat have thanked me for taking the time to both take the picture and upload them. To each of those that see my pictures and appreciate the time it takes to share, you are very welcome. Please, continue to post any changes you may have for my labels and I welcome requests for additional pictures of your interests at the San Diego Zoo. I have been a member for over 30 years and take great pride in supporting this fine institution. I am lucky to live close enough to enjoy it and the learning opportunities it provides.
Again, thanks for the comment and I'm sure you are right about the incorrect reference to frogs.
I'm very sorry Washaw. What was meant to be a good natured ribbing wasn't taken as such and it is my fault. These sorts of things don't always come out the way they were intended. I appreciate all of your photos you have posted. Please keep it up and don't let careless words deter you. Once again, thanks for your posts.
