Wow, the Malagasy rainbow frog looks so pretty... ... and tempting.

And this blind Olm salamander is probably gonna make local Singaporeans go crazy over it with its elongated body like the symbolic of a dragon.

Hi wynx, thanks for tyhe interesting link. It will be great if we can have all these in Singapore!

Hi Ah_Zhan, thanks for posting out the picture; however, would direct hotlinking of the picture from bbc website bring any legal issue to AQ?

Maybe Benny or Simon would like to look into this as I know many commercial website are quite particular about copyright and also bandwidth theft issue...

Merviso, I am not too sure with the legal issue, but I have added in the url link as referral. Hope that will make things clearer.

Hi Ah_Zhan, no offense to you. I just wanted to highlight this hotlinking issue as most people may not be aware.

Usually, when we post picture from other website, other then giving the acknowlegement of picture source as what your reference link has done, we will usually download the picture and upload it to a our own webhosting site (can be free picture hosting site) so that the bandwidth of the orignal source website will not be affected. Direct hotlinking is usually referred to as bandwidth theft as commercial website is usually charged for their data transfer bandwidth.
