Haus Des Meeres, part #2, a few more inhabitants | Original photography by Shlomit Schatzmayr

In my previous post about Haus Des Meeres, the Aqua Terra Zoo in Vienna, I focused on the sealife, which take the more prominent part of the zoo, however, the zoo is a home fore many more incredible creatures: insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds & mammals.

Some of my favourite reptiles to photograph are the constrictor snakes, I love their patterns, textues and their "rainbowy" glow.

There is a mini-Jungle in the zoo, watching over the city of Vienna through glass walls. The area includes turtles, monkeys & different types and kinds of birds, all living "freely" in that open space between trees, ponds & hanging bridges.

Hidden from most visitors who might not notice them in this colourful, vivid, little jungle, there are also bats, usually hanging in the dark corners of the ceiling. They are a real highlight for me, as I really love bats :D

These mom & baby were prectically modeling for me, I took so many photos of them, I couldn't stop shooting ;D

If you get inspired to create something following these images (or even with them), I would love to see it! <3

all photos in this post were taken by me, Shlomit Schatzmayr, 2017.
