The Texas State Aquarium located in Corpus Christi, Texas live up to it’s name. It is as big as Texas, well, not quite. The exhibits represent many areas of sea life. The purpose is not only to share these animals with us, but also to protect them which I love. I have visited many aquariums and I must say this one was really awesome. It allowed me the opportunity to have fun with my camera which I also love. I saw many new species I have not seen in other aquariums. Here are a few of my photos from this adventure.

I was cruising down a rural road at night at about 10 m.p.h., and I notice this frog hopping about two feet into the air down the road.  I could not help but stop, and shoot a macro photo of it. This frog was quite kind to just sit there and stare back at me, while I put a camera in his face. Perhaps the flash blinded him. You must click on the photo to really appreciate the clarity.

The Tomato Frog is from Madagascar. This thing can swell up and even secrete a toxin that causes a predators eyes and mouth to gum up.

When I was a young boy we would see these toads all around Houston. I enjoyed seeing them when they were mating in bar ditches, leaving long strands of eggs, that would turn to thousands of tadpoles. They are not as common today due to the destructive forces of man. However, they seem to be strong in some areas.

I took this photo at night as the Gulf Coast Toad was hopping on a sidewalk.

I am not sure what kind of frogs these little guys are, but I was really impressed at how they camouflage. They may be some type of wood frog. If you know, please share their name in a comment. Look closely at the photo and you will see two of them.

I took this photo at the Houston Arboretum.
