Its an aquarium pamphlet with the dolphins just on the back cover. There's a dodgy-looking photo of two dolphins "spy-hopping" and a second one of a leaping dolphin (showing the dorsal fin). I was quite disappointed that the dolphins in the real show weren't pink ones :-(

Zooish do you know what species are kept in the new dinosaur decendants exhibit?

Have you any pictures of the tarictic hornbills?

I've just come back from Singapore, and I would really reccomend the bird park. The parrots are so amazing. The colours are great!

I also got bitten by a red lory!

Must be another version. I have one which is distinctly photo-shopped bottlenosed!

Maybe the young ones were used for the show when you visited. The oldest male named Jumbo is a beautiful shade of pink (not bubblegummy though) with some grey spots.

Haven't had time to visit! Was out of country for a while.

I believe only Ostrich, Emu, greater Rhea and Double-wattled Cassowary are displayed at Dino Descendants.

They reduced the number of cassowary pens to build more viewing shelters.

getting back to the original topic of gallery photos, I was just wondering what the very first photo uploaded was?

I was using that as a background image on my computer at the time, so it was the first photo I could find to do a test with!
