Baby cuora (Not sure of species atm) Turtles
Delacour's Crested Fireback
Baby Javan Langur
Hanuman Langur

Great Blue Turaco (Loving that aviary By the way!)
Great Argus

Aquatic Caecillian
Lots of Great fish
Giant wood rail
Spix's Guan
Blue Duiker
Nubian giraffe

I have all of these on film as well (And most in stills)

As a school party, We also went to the sealife centre in Bolougne. I have some exhibit photos of this, and a real treat here was a HUGE great Barracuda. There were Caiman, sealions, arowana, and lots of other fish, but they were shown in such amazing, and well thought out exhibits.

I'll put pictures up as soon as I can, I'm on My dad's computer at the Moment, as the internet is not working on mine! The pictures are on mine!

I'll bet you didn't see the Kiwi.

The chance of seeing a kiwi in Antwerp is about 100 to 1 :(

Glad to hear you had a nice trip Writhedhornbill. Welcome home! :)
 
I'll write the review after easter, and my flute exam (Grade 5, I haven't done my scales for a week!)

Next year, I'd like to visit Plankendael, or Paradisio, but it does depend on where the family can take me:D
 
i have never saw a kiwi in antwerp, and i've been there about 60 times.

hmm, what is exectly the difference between the red billed currasow and the wattled currasow?
 
The red billed, shows a greater sexual dimorphism, with the male being black and having a red bill, and the female being largely black with some white on the head.

The wattled curassow: Males have a white underbelly, and large wattles, and the females have a brown underbelly and small wattles. The wattles of both sexes in this species are the same orange/red. This species is not found outside of the Americas, unless Antwerp still have their pair, or have moved it to another zoo.
 
one off the couples had a young in 2007, i think the yellow knobbed.

But i go to zoo antwerp over 2 weeks, i will search for them than.
