It’s Sunday FUNday, so here’s a recent mix of the endangered species you’ll see at the zoo. Have a beautiful FUNday!
Here comes Eastern (or Mountain) Bongo, Sydney thru the crowned cranes.
Hello, Sydney. Eastern (or Mountain) Bongo’s are listed as “critically endangered” (less than 100 remain in the wild)
Hello, Zuri.
Poppy left late week for her new zoo. My final pics were the day before watching her get Asante up from his brief rest.
Giraffes were recently listed as “endangered”. Poppy’s new zoo will make her announcement soon.
Looks like Alex has a reminder for everyone……..STAY HYDRATED!
The demonstration is over (for now). I love watching Alex when she’s “busy”.
Beautiful & endangered, Alex.
Meanwhile……handsome Tommy is inside enjoying a snackie!
Bonobo K2. He & Qasai are 2 of my faves.
Looks like it’s grooming time for Qasai. Bonobos are endangered
DIGGER!! The Grand Cayman Blue Iguana is listed as endangered, BUT is an ongoing conservation success story.
Made a quick stop on a busy Sun to see the new girl. She’s PURRfect. A.J. & baby girl.
She has not yet been formally announced by the zoo since the birth occurred on Sat (around 11:30am). Stay tuned for her official announcement.
Yummy! This is A.J.’s first girl. All 4 previous were boys.
Dear Michelle
There are sooo many endangered species!
Also in our countries! Its a pity, that
mankind destroys many habitats of wonder-
ful animals. Some of them disappeare,
before we notice them, like many
insects or amphibic animals in
the tropical woods… 🙁
One of the Kudus is funny with his
crossed horns. Bonobos are very
special apes, different of the
chimpanzees. Orangs are so
in danger, cause of the
ongoing destruction of
their living space in
Indonesia, its sad.
So the Zoos more and more
are a kind of arche for the
endangered species, where
our kids will watch them
in the future, not only
in books or on photos.
Greetings
Chris
Dear Michelle.
Thank you for these great photos of endangered species that may soon only be seen in zoos.
One photo is always more stunning than the other! All these animals are beautiful and lovable.
I am especially touched by the portraits of the orang utangs and the bonobos. Their looks go straight to my heart.
