Couple Archers in the Baltimore National Aquarium

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They're stunning specimens.

I believe that once they get to that size they stop spitting at insects and bugs on overhanging branches......and begin targeting monkeys instead, lol.
LOL.....ya had me up until the monkey part!
 
I believe they could easily Knock off a spider monkey at 50 paces.
My hand is in front of the glass, so its just the opposite of the fisherman photo ruse, holding it out front to make the fish bigger, these guys are actually bigger than the photo makes them out to be.
There's a 3 ft Saratoga in the upper left corner.
Lungy looking saratoga.
Archers get massive. I've caught and seen ones close to dinnerplate size! They get fat as well
