Description Very scary shot. I really wasn't going to use this angle, but salt deposits on the plexiglass forced me to shoot from this point. I'm kind of glad that the zoo keepers didn't clean the glass that day.
This is a False Gharial Crocodile, also known as a Tomistoma.

Taken through 2 inches of solid plexiglass.

Riverbanks Zoo. Columbia, SC.

Oh, wow, gorgeous capture! The colours are beautiful, especially for that camouflage effect. The details of the close-up and that eye really blow me away. Lovely shot!

A log huh. I'll jump up on it and see for how long I can stand upright on it.

One never knows. What is it called, when two guys stand on a floting log, and try to spin it to make the other one fall in?

I know what your talking about, but I don't know what it's called either.
