While I was there, the Christmas Tree arrived. It was still being adjusted as I was leaving. I'm told its not a living tree :( Would have been nice considering the Zoo's Mission for Conservation, as Lee pointed out. ... I love Christmas Trees, but have always hated how they are dressed up fancy, oohed and awwed at, then raped of its deco's and tossed out to die on a street corner. Makes me frown.

What a cute kitty! He just woke up. That advertisement! What does it mean?
ReplyDelete@Photon Capturer- Thank you for your comment. Yea he was snoozing with Amanzi and heard us as we walked up :) So I ran to the fence to get a snap, and thankfully saying hi jarjar kept his attention long enough. ... RIght? that ad is lame. I got to find the other one. I can't see how these ads get people to come to the Zoo. I can think of much better ways. Like showing photos of the Animals getting Enrichment!
Deletegreat to see a sign, even if it's small. it's a start, anyway!
ReplyDeleteand fun pics of jahari and niya :-)
@hazel- Thank you for your comment. Well, let's hope that it is a "start" and we will see better and bigger signs posted thru-out the Zoo at many exhibits, along with behavior guidelines and modified barriers. ... Glad you liked the pix! I was wondering what Niya woudl do with a howdy fence to Shastyuh? I know it was sealed because Rigel had a big problem at first with it.
