Well, it looks like the news of the kangaroo that went missing just got weirder. While the animal was located & apprehended, apparently the kangaroo punched the Durham Police officer who tried to capture it lol.

It's International Cheetah Day!๐พ Cheetahs can be mistaken for leopards and jaguars, but there's a guaranteed way to tell them apart. Cheetahs have teardrop shaped lines that go from the corner of their eyes to their mouth. This marking helps them keep the sun out of their eyes! https://t.co/BW9zt4rq2T

The Old #Zoo in #Poznaล is covered in snow but you can still see some fun animals.
Scarlet ibises seem to frequent high branches, while in the summer I've seen them mostly on the ground. There is a new enclosure of arctic fixes, too. Of course, there are also our cute silver foxes.
Other animals that are not on the photos but I've noticed are pot belly pigs, ring-tailed lemurs, rabbits, goats, monkeys, turtles and tortoises, alpacas, ponies and highland cattle.




Did you know that the #Egyptian Cobra has a #divine & #royal #history?
The large, venomous #snake was represented in 2 different #Ancient Egyptian #goddesses.
Cobra-headed Meretseger protected the Valley of the Kings & Wadjet protected both #kings & childbirth.
In Lower Egypt, the cobra topped crowns.
In 2011, The Bronx #Zoo had to inform the public that an Egyptian Cobra escaped its enclosure.
It was found 5 days later hiding & named Mia - โmissing in actionโ.

Open wide Juno! When threatened, sloths use their 3- to 4-inch-long claws & teeth to defend themselves. Sloths are not born with a baby teeth. Instead, they are born with a fully-formed set of teeth that continuously grow throughout their lifetime! https://t.co/dKOgKzVHFC

A post for my paid #newsletter subscribers, in which I fact check the animal statements from Simon and Garfunkel's "At the zoo". You can see the first part of it until you hit the paywall in the middle of the #elephant facts. #science #music #zoo https://open.substack.com/pub/mixture/p/are-giraffes-insincere?r=1dl5a&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

A beautiful Inca Tern (Inkaseeschwalbe) having a nice snack at the Strandvoliere (Beach Aviary) of the Berlin Zoo.
I love their colours and their "moustache" as well!

A Common Waxbill (Wellenastrild) with some leaves at a walk-through aviary at the Berlin Zoo. These birds' natural habitat is Southern Africa. They looks somewhat similar to finches but aren't, in fact, related to them.

Quagga
"Das Quagga (Equus quagga quagga) ist eine ausgestorbene #Zebra-Form.
Sie gilt als sรผdliche Unterart des Steppenzebras (Equus quagga), die sich โ verglichen mit anderen Zebraformen โ durch eine weitestgehende Reduktion der Bestreifung an Rumpf und Beinen auszeichnet.
Das Quagga wurde Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts vom #Menschen ausgerottet. Im August 1883 starb das letzte #Tier im #Zoo #Amsterdam."
Posing for just a second, I snapped a photo of this impressive vulture at the Santa Barbara Zoo from the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. SOOC no edits.

The spot pattern of a ๐ฆ is unique to each individual. And they're taller than me when they're born!
One of those giraffes at Tierpark Berlin came to me and sniffed me. She... seemed less than impressed after she did that. ๐
Iโm celebrating my halfway point through my #KansasCity Zoo Docent training and have decided to raise $1,909 (the zoo officially opened in 1909) for the zooโs Foundation! ๐
Please help me reach my goal by donating any amount you can and sharing the fundraiser. Your donation will make a huge difference in supporting the zooโs mission to promote conservation and education.
