In effort to put proper tags on my flickr pictures, could someone please tell me what animals I have taken pictures of?

    It might help to mention where you took the photos. But the top one looks like a Marmot to me. Admittedly I am looking via my phone so my ability to identify creatures might be compromised.

    prarie dog perhaps
    northern bald ibis
    Grey Crowned Crane
    appears to be a White Fronted Bee Eater
    African Bullfrog
    Scarlet Ibis
    looks like a Capybara

    Thanks -SPI-, I think you got most, but I'm not sure about the Capybara. Unfortunately the lazy bugger was asleep, so I don't have photos of him standing up.

    Apo: I took them in the Vienna Zoo. I managed to identify a few animals by looking at their maps, but these were tough (as in: I either can't remember which building they were in or the map only says "aviary".

    It could be a Nutria/Coypu.

    That should be it, they have those at the zoo and look alike.

    Thanks! I think I can tag all animals now. :D

    Actually, I got one more

    My own picture isn't good enough to recognize it, but this one should do the trick. I tried looking on birdwatching sites, but no dice.

    *e: wait no I think it's an Orange Bishop (http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy-coe/3078202800/)

    My God, either your Google-Fu is strong or you really like animal spotting.

    Or a combination of both, I guess.

    Thanks so much :^:
