Just a few animal pictures from when I lived in Vietnam. They are in order from when I first arrived to before I left. The latter are mostly mobile phone pictures.
Good luck turtles. These are purchased by stupid tourists to 'free' into the lake. They are quickly recaptured. Shortly after I took this picture, a teenage girl walked by and booted the big one.
One of the many, many wild birds kept in tiny cages all over the city. I think this is a white eye of some kind. They are very popular cage birds.
Big snail.
Dragonfly
Jumping spider. It was about 3 times the size of a zebra jumping spider.
Spotted dove.
I think this is a kind of laughingthrush. The locals call them nightingales.
White shouldered starling. I was fortunate enough to see these in the wild in Hong Kong and Cat Ba island in Vietnam.
Some kind of Asian lark. They keep them in really tall cages so they can hover. The also perch on the little pedestals.
Long tailed bird, I forget it's species.
A snakehead fish in my local bar (for food).
Some grim pictures from Hanoi zoo. The elephant was shackled in place and the locals were throwing stuff at the tigers.
