Finally got a photo of the baby Diana Monkey born at Tulsa Zoo on Feb 17, 2023!

#monkey #DianaMonkey #ZooPhotography #TulsaZoo

A 3 month old baby Diana Monkey holding onto a rope with its front hands and staring at the camera. Lovely white ruff around its chin & neck. A crescent brow band of slightly longer hair with white highlights is reminiscent of the Roman goddess Diana's bow, and is the reason for the name Diana Monkey.

Ashanti, one of the White Storks at Tulsa Zoo.

She is an avid nest builder as she builds a nest every spring. She shares her paddock with Aurora another female white stork, so if there are eggs in that nest, they aren't fertile. Aurora, on the other hand, is not into building nests!

This is Addison, one of the Red Pandas at Tulsa Zoo. I call her Addy and right after I called her name, this is what I got! Animals love to stick their tongues out at me! 🤣

Maybe she doesn't like to be called by a nickname? 🤔

Fennec Foxes are desert dwellers and needs these big ears to cool off (blood flows near the surface of the skin for release of heat).

I'm going to go with a big cat photo for today's #Caturday - this is Bhanu, a male Asiatic lion at ZSL London Zoo.

He had just climbed atop a wooden platform from which he was looking down.

He then settled down to relax in the sun and I took a short 4k video of him doing so:

The male spectacled owl in the Rainforest Exhibit at Tulsa Zoo

When I talk to this pair of owls, they will hoot quietly back in response. I wish I understood "owl" 😁

Head and chest shot of a spectacled owl which are brown and beige in color. Beige feathers around the eyes look a bit like spectacles. Very wide eyed pupils with only a bit of yellow iris visible give it an intense look.

The zoo seems to have a lot of luck with their various breeding programs, though good news is rarely without bad. Three cubs were born to the snow leopard pair. One, sadly, didn't survive, but we were able to enjoy watching the surviving snow leopards grow up & thrive. They are now in new homes, to hopefully have families of their own as part of zoo breeding programs, but it was wonderful being able to see them for as long as we did.

One snowy day in the zoo. The lions and cheetahs seem to not mind the snow, choosing to go outdoors rather than stay indoors. And when they get tired of the cold, they have heated caves to enjoy so they can people watch or snooze until their keepers bring them in.
