The Melbourne aquarium had a darkened room with tanks full of jelly fish lit from within the tank. They were just beautiful and were in constant motion. These were my second favorites. There was a tank full of orange ones against a blue background but the camera I had at the time or rather my abilty to get a good shot then wasn't terribly good.
They are just tiny little things about the size of a loonie and just fascinating to watch.
I was surprized to find that all the swans in New Zealand and Austraila are black. You would think that the white ones we have would tolerate the heat and sunshine better.
As you can see they are quite tame and will come right up to take tidbits out of your hand. What goes in comes out pretty quickly though so save the scraps until the end of your meal.
This little group is a trio of Tawny Frog Mouth birds. When they decide to wake up and open their mouths they do so widely that their heads disappear from a frontal view and you only see a mouth. I love it when birds and animals pose for me.
