Rainbow or a portal to another dimension? 🌈
A full-circle rainbow appeared beneath the world’s highest bridge as sunlight interacted with mist from water cascading below the massive structure during a water curtain show.
In this video, we can see Mexican wolf companions F1361 (Sedona) and M1630 (Darko) showing off their playful side with some friendly roughhousing.
Darko joined Sedona back in March after moving from his brother group, and it looks like these two have become quite the duo! 💚
Tomorrow is Chantek’s, one of the four Sumatran orangutans at the Zoo, 51st birthday! 🥳🦧🎉
Chantek, along with PT, are both over 50 years old –– reaching this extraordinary age is a testament to the care provided by our dedicated keepers and animal care team.
Chantek enjoys melons and ice treats as enriching snacks on warm Texas days!
As she ages, Chantek enjoys her quiet outside time –– whether it be napping under warm sunrays or people-watching in the World of Primates.
Deer like their pears cut up for them, please and thank you very much.😊
They are used to eating windfall fruit, which is soft and mushy, so fresh pears are a bit challenging.
So now I dutifully cut up the apples and pears I leave for the badger and foxes, and this sweet deer finishes off their leftovers in the morning.
Such a calming, pleasant and satisfying sight, isn't it?
I am sat having breakfast with the Ravens reflecting on what an unusual & special thing it is to have such a relationship with wild animals. I call it a relationship as that is what it feels like. I get joy and companionship from them and they get food and companionship from me
1/ Bess and (Bumble)Bee spent most of their lives wild. What a huge shock to be rounded up, confined, and dumped in the slaughter pipeline without enough to eat. In safe hands now, they will be turned out with a band of seniors, including Mabel, when they have recovered.
One of the Great Egrets at the local park will preen and hang out on the boardwalk railing as long as there's no people passing by. This was a rainy morning so foot traffic was quite slow.
Kohl is on the mend hopefully 🙏
It looks like the swollen throat was due to a sting. Thankfully she is back eating soft food and the swelling is gradually subsiding. It's been a worrying few days.
Kohl says thank you for all the good wishes for her healing ❤️🐑
“Cheeky.” If you ask any of our Voi Keepers how they would describe Kilulu, that’s the word you’ll hear! He just can’t help himself – as the other orphans head into the bush for their next browsing session, Kilulu sees an opportunity to showboat and cannot walk away from it. We adore him and his antics.
During the 2022 drought, we rescued so many orphans from desperate situations. It’s been a joy to see their personalities grow ever since. Kilulu, who was weak, emaciated and resigned to his fate when we found him, has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations.
Supporters like you ensure we are always in a position to give orphans like Kilulu a second chance at a wild future. To learn more about Kilulu, visit: https://t.co/uAiF4Aygp8
Some Barn Owl photos this morning from Marbury. You will have already seen this Barn Owl in photos from @MarburyBirds. It wasn't the ideal morning for photos, a bit grey.
This week’s Frankly is an episode from summer of 2023, which is being re-released to provide context for one of the most important questions we face today:
What is the role of energy, specifically oil, in the global economic system we’ve built?
