Thank u Hobglobin. That was out of curiosity i had posted them. Are u sure that is the crane fly? It is very common in this part of the world, but the pic i had taken is lot diferent from what the usual cranefly we come across here, and more than that i had crushed one like in the pic who had enormous blood stored in the tail part just liek the mosquitos. With Chikungunea spreadin all across here, i just thought i came across some new mosquito species..he he..!
And that frog had been stayin the same for almost 3 weeks, that made me to take a pic of it as in recent times i cam e across a newspaper reading showin a small frog they discovered which presumably is the smalest one around..and i thought i found much smaller a one..maybe i wen ton daydreaming myself to be a new dicoverer he he..anyway Thanks once again..stil hopin to hear more abut these pics if there is somethin diferetn a view abut it !

From the "habitus view" it is a crane fly, long legs, wing form, body form etc. And the mouth parts seem not to be there (a mosquito always has a proboscis, that is not retractable). Although the picture is not very sharp.
The frog - perhaps you should fed him?
But my description was based on temperate frogs not tropical (you did not mention), with tropical ones it might be an full-grown specimen as there are many small ones (in our temperate regions (Europe) there are only quite big ones that grow substantially after tadpole stage). -hobglobin-

I am not so familiar with some animals. Here are some pictures that I took in the zoo. Can you tell me the names of them? Thanks a lot!
The 1st picture seems like deer...bigger than mouse deer?

If you're still tracking this, rob, I think the bird is actually a brogla, an Australian heron found in the tropical north. The two small birds are some kind of parrot, maybe a budgie. Which zoo? Perhaps they can help? (If you find out, please let us know...)
