Very Nice!!!
Adding my contribution to this thread, and the butt kicking I got from my wife - shared a little later in the thread.
Poisonous Dart Frog - For those that don't know, they are not actually poisonous. Their diet of poisonous ants is what causes them to have a toxin. No poison ant diet, no poisonous frog.

Jellyfish - This is where my wife and her D7100 kicked my D600's butt! The FX D600 is a better low light camera than the DX D7100 camera and does better at high ISO's. However, and mind you this was not scientific, the wife was shooting jellyfish and just firing away. I'm standing there with my D600 zooming in and out trying to focus. Finally, partly out of frustration, I asked her if she was on manual focus (accidentally) and that's how she was seemingly getting all these pictures. She was auto focusing and absolutely killing me. Trying to figure out if it was the difference in lenses, Tamron 90mm on mine and a Nikon 40mm on hers, we swapped lenses. Nope, it was not the lenses. The D7100 auto focus hands down kicked the snot out of my D600's ability to auto focus in low light. I did not expect this, and my wife tells me it's simply because she is a better photographer. Whatever the reason, I felt like I had a knife at a gun fight. Here is what I manually focused and shot.

And finally some fish.
No idea.
A monster. This fish was about 6 feet long (2 meters) and just really cool to look at. The tank was also filled with Pacu's sold through the local pet store to people that have no idea how big Pacu's get and that they should not be sold for home aquariums.

HI, FOUND THIS.
[h=3]6) Autofocus[/h] There’s no competition here, and the verdict doesn’t go in the direction you might expect. The D7100 uses the latest version of Nikon’s pro-spec 51-point Multi-CAM 3500DX AF system, with 15 cross-type sensors and the ability to work with apertures down to f/8. This becomes very important when you use telephoto lenses with teleconverters. The D610 uses Nikon’s more amateur-orientated 39-point Multi-CAM4800AF sensor. This too can work down to a sensitivity of f/8, but it’s the same as the one used in the D7000, and because the D610 has a larger frame area, the AF points are all near the centre of the frame, whereas the AF points in the D7100 reach practically to the edges. NOW NAS KICKS IN.

That lower photo is of the Aripaima. They inhabit the Amazon Basin and are also found in the home aquarium trade, as are Pacu. They're colors get deep red, especially during their mating season. You can buy a 4-inch Pacu at Petsmart for just under $15. They reach 10-ft plus, but are often stunted when place in home aquaria.
