Department of Biology... Open Day 2010

I thought I'd play with Flickr's slideshow embedding function. Rather cool, I think!

These photos are from Macquarie University's Open Day earlier this month:

• Jonno and his Eclectus parrots, Eclectus roratus. Interesting sexual dimorphism, probably related to their polygyny: the female is red, and the male green. 
• Adam Stow with an Olive python: Liasis olivaceus. Adam is a conservation geneticist and my supervisor for my 2010 Advanced Biology Internship.
  
• Prospective students exploring geekery in one of our teaching labs.
• Queuing for fairy floss: Macquarie University Biological Society rots the teeth of prospective students.
  
• Pteropus poliocephalus, a grey-headed flying fox (fruit bat).
  
• A mantis eats a cricket.
• A couple more photos of the Olive python, including one with its very close friend Siobhan. 
• Tawny Frogmouth: Podargus strigoides, doing its stump impersonation.
  
• Green tree frog: Litoria caerulea.
• Blue tongue lizard: Tiliqua scincoides scincoides.
  
• MUBS friends Eleanor and Renee with a St Andrew's Cross Spider, Argiope keyserlingii.
