Moody Gardens Rain Forest

After freezing for forty minutes in the IMAX, it was great to get to the Houston-like humidity and high temperature of the Rain Forest Pyramid.  The setting is much like the butterfly exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science in Houston.  What I liked is the concentration on such a variety of animals, birds and fish. waterfall.jpg (156371 bytes) There was definitely too much to take in on one visit.  I spent most of my time either gawking at the amazonian fish or trying to take pictures of that spastic wood duck :).  I have to say that this place was too cool.  I got to see the grand-daddy size of the fish I see in my tank every day.  I definitely plan to go back when I get the time!
