Penguin Beach

There are p-p-plenty of penguins at ZSL London Zoo in our stunning new Penguin Beach exhibit - England’s biggest penguin pool.

Penguin Beach opened in 2011 and houses around sixty penguins of three different species: African penguins, Humboldt penguins and a single, male rockhopper penguin named Ricky.

London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It was opened in London on 27 April 1828 and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847. Today it houses a collection of 755 species of animals, with 16,802 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the United Kingdom. The zoo is sometimes called Regent's Zoo.

It is managed under the aegis of the Zoological Society of London (established in 1826) and is situated at the northern edge of Regent's Park, on the boundary line between City of Westminster and Camden (the Regent's Canal runs through it). The Society also has a more spacious site at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire to which the larger animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. As well as being the first scientific zoo, ZSL London Zoo also opened the first Reptile house (1849), first public Aquarium (1853), first insect house (1881) and the first children's zoo (1938).

ZSL receives no state funding and relies on 'Fellows', 'Friends', 'Members', entrance fees and sponsorship to generate income.

Colorado - Mount Evans: Mountain Goats

Colorado - Mount Evans: Mountain Goats

Image by wallyg
Mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain Goat, is an even-toed ungulate that inhabits the Rocky Mountains and Cascade Range regions, usually above the timberline in the alpine and subalpine zones. Not native to Colorado, the first goats--approximately eight to fourteen of them--were released in the Mount Evans area in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Today, an estimated 90 to 100 mountain goats roam the Mount Evans cliffs.

Mount Evans is a 14,265-foot mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains and the highest peak in a massif known historically as the Chicago Peaks. It is one of 54 fourteeners--mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet in Colorado, and the closet to Denver, standing just 38 miles west. Originally known as Mount Rosa or Mount Rosalie, it was named by Albert Bierstadt for the wife of Fitz Hugh Ludlow, whom he would later marry. Bieerstadt and his guide, William Newton Byers approached the mountain along Chicago Creek in 1863, and spent several days painting sketches from the Chicago Lakes before climbing to the summit. In 1895, the peak was renamed in honor of John Evans, second governor of the Colorado Territory from 1862 to 1865

Mount Evans Scenic Byway, which begins at the junction of Interstate 70 and State Highway 103 near Idaho Springs ontinues on State Highway 5 through the Mount Evans Wilderness ending near the summit of Mount Evans. The byway runs 28-miles, and gains over 7,000 feet of altitude, reaching an altitude of 14,130-feet, making it the highest paved road in North America. The road, built from 1917 to 1927, was set by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr.

44740 Cameron Store

Image by SeattleRay
Cameron was named for the pioneering Cameron family. The settlement was originally known as Bear Creek. Addison Bovey Cameron and his brother James took up desert claims here in 1886. Add Cameron had the first post office in his home from 1890 to 1893. Later he and Josie had a store and post office on the ground floor of a building and a dance or community hall on the upper floor.

In 1919 the Cameron store building was purchased by Frank Falbaum, who moved it six miles down the road to take advantage of the highway business generated by tourists traveling between Ennis and Yellowstone Park. This angered Bear Creek settlers, and for years none of them would trade at the Cameron store.

The ranchers who now use the post office as headquarters have rich hay and pasture lands spreading up to the foot of Sphinx Mountain (elev. 10,860 ft.). The mountain was officially named by geologists because of a supposed resemblance to the Great Sphinx of Giza, but natives affectionately call it “Old Red” because of the beautiful red rock cliffs that glisten in the sunset. (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)

Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest covers the area to both the east and west of Cameron. This is the largest of the national forests in Montana, and it covers 3.32 million acres in eight southwestern Montana counties. It offers breathtaking scenery for a wide variety of recreational pursuits, including camping, fishing, picnicking, or even wilderness trekking in the Lee Metcalf Wilderness.

Also near Cameron, the Bear Creek Wildlife Management Area provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including elk, mule deer, black bears, grizzlies, mountain grouse, and many others. Here you can enjoy hunting and wildlife viewing. In addition to those animals named above, sandhill cranes, raptors, songbirds and numerous small mammals can be found through much of the year. Bear Creek Wildlife Management Area is located in Madison County, 5 miles east of Cameron at the base of the west face of the Madison Range. From the small community of Cameron, turn east on the county road and follow the signs to the entrance.

Glum Ninja C.P.F. - Tsubasa the Totem Warrior

Image by plushplex
Currently availiable on Etsy

Glum Ninjas C.P.F. is a covert protection force for people who want inconspicuous protection. They disguise themselves as run-of-the-mill stuffed animals and keep a watchful eye, waiting to spring into action at the first sign of danger.

Glum Ninjas are around 8 inches tall by about 7.5 inches wide and are ok for gentle play but they are made of felt which will give way if treated too roughly so they are probably more suited for collectors and plush-a-holics rather than small children.(some toys are too cool for kids) All Glum Ninjas are named, cataloged and come with an authentic Glum Ninja coin that identifies them.

Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)
Think they would serve him up at Deitrich? Would he taste good? Either way, it's definitley time to put the tray back in the dishwasher! We eat off these every day!

BACKSTORY: Dave & Lacey brought over a kitten for Clint & Carolyn to try out. This poor kitten did not fit into our family. He was terrified of Clint, somewhat scared of Carolyn, and basically was ONLY interested in hiding behind piles of clutter large enough that human beings can't get to him. Completely anti-social and a nervous wreck. So 2 days later, we gave the kitten back to Dave & Lacey, as Lacey had stated we could if we didn't like it. He ultimately found a new home with other animals and kids and we hear the kitten was much happier and doing well. And he's probably still alive, too, which is more than we can say for poor little Beavis. Dave & Lacey's kid nicknamed the kitten Runny, because he kept running away, but he did eventually get a real name. We never found out what it was, and it doesn't really matter. Look at his feet shaking! This guy was an intellectual wimp. He had no place in our household. We require strong cats.

sleeping.

Wellington Zoo
New Zealand

The Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) is a species of baboon from the Old World monkey family. It is the northernmost of all the baboons; being native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. These regions provide habitats with the advantage for this species of fewer natural predators than central or southern Africa where other baboons reside. The Hamadryas baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians and appears in various roles in ancient Egyptian religion, hence its alternative name of 'sacred baboon'.

London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It was opened in London on 27 April 1828 and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847. Today it houses a collection of 755 species of animals, with 16,802 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the United Kingdom. The zoo is sometimes called Regent's Zoo.

It is managed under the aegis of the Zoological Society of London (established in 1826) and is situated at the northern edge of Regent's Park, on the boundary line between City of Westminster and Camden (the Regent's Canal runs through it). The Society also has a more spacious site at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire to which the larger animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. As well as being the first scientific zoo, ZSL London Zoo also opened the first Reptile house (1849), first public Aquarium (1853), first insect house (1881) and the first children's zoo (1938).

ZSL receives no state funding and relies on 'Fellows', 'Friends', 'Members', entrance fees and sponsorship to generate income.

Orangotango

Image by Digo_Souza
O orangotango (cujo nome vem de duas palavras da língua malaia que, juntas, significam "pessoa da floresta") é um género de exclusivamente duas espécies asiáticas de Grandes primatas. Nativo da Indonésia e da Malásia, os orangotangos são encontrados somente nas florestas tropicais do Bornéu e da Sumatra. Classificado no género Pongo, orangotangos foram considerados uma espécie. No entanto, desde 1996, eles foram divididos em duas espécies: o orangotango-de-bornéu (P. pygmaeus) e o orangotango-de-sumatra (P. abelii). Para além disso, a espécie do orangotango-de-bornéu está dividida em 3 subespécies. Os orangotangos também são as únicas espécies sobreviventes da subfamília Ponginae, que também incluiu várias outras espécies como o gigantopithecus, o maior primata conhecido. Ambas as espécies tiveram o seu genoma sequenciado e parecem ter divergido há cerca de 400.000 anos atrás. Orangotangos divergiram do resto dos grandes primatas há aproximadamente 15,7-19,3 milhões de anos atrás.
Os orangotangos são os primatas mais arborícolas e passam a maior parte do seu tempo nas árvores. O seu pêlo é tipicamente marrom-avermelhado, ao contrário do pêlo dos Gorilas e dos Chimpanzés. Machos e fêmeas diferem em tamanho e aparência. Têm entre 1,10 e 1,40 m de altura e pesa entre 35 e 100 kg, embora os machos adultos geralmente pesam 200 kg , o que o faz a terceira maior espécie de primata do mundo, superado apenas pelo gorila e pelo homem, com quem partilha cerca de 97% dos genes. Os orangotangos são animais territorialistas, para demarcar território o macho dá um grito estrondoso que avisa os outros orangotangos para não entrarem em seu território. São as espécies mais solitárias dos grandes primatas, com laços sociáveis que só ocorrem principalmente entre as mães e seus filhos independentes, que ficam juntos durante primeiros dois anos. Por consequência os machos adultos só procuram as fêmeas uma vez por ano, na época da seca e acasalam frontalmente.Uma característica sexual notável é o crescimento de "abas" nas laterais da fronte e no pescoço dos machos maduros, o que lhes dá um aspecto bastante peculiar.
As principais ameaças às populações de orangotangos selvagens incluem a caça, destruição do habitat e comércio ilegal de animais para uso de estimação. Segundo os cientistas, restam pouco mais de 100 000 orangotangos no mundo,[5] sendo que o rápido crescimento do ritmo de devastação permite fazer a previsão que a extinção da espécie ocorrerá em algumas décadas.
As fêmeas vivem em grupos, mas aparentemente sem a mesma hierarquia encontrada em outras espécies de antropóides e aprendem como cuidar dos filhotes com as fêmeas mais velhas. Os filhotes nascem após nove meses de gestação, passando a ficar agarrados aos pelos longos das costas da mãe. No ambiente silvestre, a taxa reprodutiva é baixa, o que contribui ainda mais para o risco de extinção. Os filhotes ficam em média 8 anos com a mãe, até se tornarem independentes, o que faz as mães orangotangos, as primatas que cuidam por mais tempo os seus filhos (sem contar com o ser humano.
Os orangotangos vivem em média 35 anos a 40 anos em ambiente selvagem e 50 anos em cativeiro.

The orangutan (whose name comes from two words in the Malay language, which together mean "person of the forest") is a genus of only two species of Asian Great primates. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans are only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were considered a kind. However, since 1996, they were divided into two species: the orangutan-of-borneo (P. pygmaeus) and Sumatran orangutan-(P. abelii). Furthermore, the kind-of-orangutan borneo is divided into three subspecies. Orangutans are also the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which also included several other species such as gigantopithecus, the largest primate known. Both species have had their genomes sequenced and appear to have diverged about 400,000 years ago. Orangutans diverged from the rest of the great apes is approximately 15.7000000 to 19.3000000 years ago.
Orangutans are the most arboreal primates and spend most of their time in trees. Your hair is typically reddish brown, unlike the fur of chimpanzees and gorillas. Males and females differ in size and appearance. Are between 1.10 and 1.40 m tall and weighs between 35 and 100 kg, while adult males generally weigh 200 kg, which makes it the third largest species of primate in the world, surpassed only by the gorilla and man- with whom he shares about 97% of genes. Orangutans are territorial animals, marking territory for the male gives a resounding cry that warns others not to orangutans entering their territory. They are more solitary species of great apes, with sociable ties that only occur mainly between mothers and their children independents who stay together during the first two years. Consequently adult males seeking females only once a year, during the dry season and mate frontalmente.Uma sexual remarkable feature is the growth of "tabs" on the sides of the forehead and neck of mature males, which gives them an aspect quite peculiar.
The main threats to populations of wild orangutans include hunting, habitat destruction and illegal trade of animals for pet use. According to scientists, remain little more than 100,000 orangutans in the world, [5] where the fast growing pace of devastation allows to forecast the extinction of the species occur in a few decades.
Females live in groups, but apparently without the same hierarchy found in other species of apes and learn how to care for puppies older females. Puppies are born after nine months of pregnancy, becoming cling to the long coasts of the mother. In the wild, the reproductive rate is low, which further contributes to the risk of extinction. The puppies are on average 8 years with the mother until they become independent, which makes mothers orangutans, the primates who care for their children more time (not counting humans.
Orangutans live on average 35 years to 40 years in the wild and 50 years in captivity.

Red River Hog and Piglet

Image by Princess Stand in the Rain
Downright little beauties, these hogs. Aside from that, those who aren’t exactly red (really sort of orange) might lean toward a gray color. The bony features on the face of a boar offer some protection during face-to-face combat with a potential rival for the affections of his lovely sow. The pointed ears with tufts of flowing hair at the tips add to the charm of these small pigs. As with many animals, scent glands are present in several areas. Those glands in their feet and lips leave scent marks as the pigs move through their habitat. The Red River Hog (Potamochoerus porcus), also known as Bush Pig (but not to be confused with P. larvatus, common name "Bushpig"), is a wild member of the pig family that lives in the rainforests, mountains and brushes of Africa.
Adults weigh up to 200 lb and stand 0.6-0.75 m. The fur is reddish-brown, with black legs and black and white snout along the top, a white stripe goes end to end on the spine. They live in herds of 6-20 members, led by the strongest boar. Typically, 3-6 piglets are born at a time.
Red River Hogs eat grass, berries, roots, insects, mollusca, little vertebrates and carrion. They are capable of causing damage to plantations.

Males and females differ in size and appearance. Are between 1.10 and 1.40 m tall and weighs between 35 and 100 kg, while adult males generally weigh 200 kg, which makes it the third largest species of primate in the world, surpassed only by the gorilla and man- with whom he shares about 97% of genes. Orangutans are territorial animals, marking territory for the male gives a resounding cry that warns others not to orangutans entering their territory. They are more solitary species of great apes, with sociable ties that only occur mainly between mothers and their children independents who stay together during the first two years. Consequently adult males seeking females only once a year, during the dry season and mate frontalmente.Uma sexual remarkable feature is the growth of "tabs" on the sides of the forehead and neck of mature males, which gives them an aspect quite peculiar.
The main threats to populations of wild orangutans include hunting, habitat destruction and illegal trade of animals for pet use. According to scientists, remain little more than 100,000 orangutans in the world, [5] where the fast growing pace of devastation allows to forecast the extinction of the species occur in a few decades.
Females live in groups, but apparently without the same hierarchy found in other species of apes and learn how to care for puppies older females. Puppies are born after nine months of pregnancy, becoming cling to the long coasts of the mother. In the wild, the reproductive rate is low, which further contributes to the risk of extinction. The puppies are on average 8 years with the mother until they become independent, which makes mothers orangutans, the primates who care for their children more time (not counting humans.
Orangutans live on average 35 years to 40 years in the wild and 50 years in captivity.

Orangotango

O orangotango (cujo nome vem de duas palavras da língua malaia que, juntas, significam "pessoa da floresta") é um género de exclusivamente duas espécies asiáticas de Grandes primatas. Nativo da Indonésia e da Malásia, os orangotangos são encontrados somente nas florestas tropicais do Bornéu e da Sumatra. Classificado no género Pongo, orangotangos foram considerados uma espécie. No entanto, desde 1996, eles foram divididos em duas espécies: o orangotango-de-bornéu (P. pygmaeus) e o orangotango-de-sumatra (P. abelii). Para além disso, a espécie do orangotango-de-bornéu está dividida em 3 subespécies. Os orangotangos também são as únicas espécies sobreviventes da subfamília Ponginae, que também incluiu várias outras espécies como o gigantopithecus, o maior primata conhecido. Ambas as espécies tiveram o seu genoma sequenciado e parecem ter divergido há cerca de 400.000 anos atrás. Orangotangos divergiram do resto dos grandes primatas há aproximadamente 15,7-19,3 milhões de anos atrás.
Os orangotangos são os primatas mais arborícolas e passam a maior parte do seu tempo nas árvores. O seu pêlo é tipicamente marrom-avermelhado, ao contrário do pêlo dos Gorilas e dos Chimpanzés. Machos e fêmeas diferem em tamanho e aparência. Têm entre 1,10 e 1,40 m de altura e pesa entre 35 e 100 kg, embora os machos adultos geralmente pesam 200 kg , o que o faz a terceira maior espécie de primata do mundo, superado apenas pelo gorila e pelo homem, com quem partilha cerca de 97% dos genes. Os orangotangos são animais territorialistas, para demarcar território o macho dá um grito estrondoso que avisa os outros orangotangos para não entrarem em seu território. São as espécies mais solitárias dos grandes primatas, com laços sociáveis que só ocorrem principalmente entre as mães e seus filhos independentes, que ficam juntos durante primeiros dois anos. Por consequência os machos adultos só procuram as fêmeas uma vez por ano, na época da seca e acasalam frontalmente.Uma característica sexual notável é o crescimento de "abas" nas laterais da fronte e no pescoço dos machos maduros, o que lhes dá um aspecto bastante peculiar.
As principais ameaças às populações de orangotangos selvagens incluem a caça, destruição do habitat e comércio ilegal de animais para uso de estimação. Segundo os cientistas, restam pouco mais de 100 000 orangotangos no mundo,[5] sendo que o rápido crescimento do ritmo de devastação permite fazer a previsão que a extinção da espécie ocorrerá em algumas décadas.
As fêmeas vivem em grupos, mas aparentemente sem a mesma hierarquia encontrada em outras espécies de antropóides e aprendem como cuidar dos filhotes com as fêmeas mais velhas. Os filhotes nascem após nove meses de gestação, passando a ficar agarrados aos pelos longos das costas da mãe. No ambiente silvestre, a taxa reprodutiva é baixa, o que contribui ainda mais para o risco de extinção. Os filhotes ficam em média 8 anos com a mãe, até se tornarem independentes, o que faz as mães orangotangos, as primatas que cuidam por mais tempo os seus filhos (sem contar com o ser humano.
Os orangotangos vivem em média 35 anos a 40 anos em ambiente selvagem e 50 anos em cativeiro.

The orangutan (whose name comes from two words in the Malay language, which together mean "person of the forest") is a genus of only two species of Asian Great primates. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans are only found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were considered a kind. However, since 1996, they were divided into two species: the orangutan-of-borneo (P. pygmaeus) and Sumatran orangutan-(P. abelii). Furthermore, the kind-of-orangutan borneo is divided into three subspecies. Orangutans are also the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which also included several other species such as gigantopithecus, the largest primate known. Both species have had their genomes sequenced and appear to have diverged about 400,000 years ago.

Penguin Beach

There are p-p-plenty of penguins at ZSL London Zoo in our stunning new Penguin Beach exhibit - England’s biggest penguin pool.

Penguin Beach opened in 2011 and houses around sixty penguins of three different species: African penguins, Humboldt penguins and a single, male rockhopper penguin named Ricky.

London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It was opened in London on 27 April 1828 and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847. Today it houses a collection of 755 species of animals, with 16,802 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the United Kingdom. The zoo is sometimes called Regent's Zoo.

It is managed under the aegis of the Zoological Society of London (established in 1826) and is situated at the northern edge of Regent's Park, on the boundary line between City of Westminster and Camden (the Regent's Canal runs through it). The Society also has a more spacious site at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire to which the larger animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. As well as being the first scientific zoo, ZSL London Zoo also opened the first Reptile house (1849), first public Aquarium (1853), first insect house (1881) and the first children's zoo (1938).

ZSL receives no state funding and relies on 'Fellows', 'Friends', 'Members', entrance fees and sponsorship to generate income.

Happy Tails: Wyatt

Image by LollypopFarm
This is myself and my new kitten I named Wyatt. I adopted him last Saturday (July 9). I feel in love with him instantly!! At the time I got him he was less than 2 lbs. and currently is over 3 lbs.! He is growing like a weed. :)

I had to put my cat (Potato) whom I had for 23 years down last week. I was a complete mess for days!! But I heard you had a kitty day so I came into take a look around. Sadly, I didn't get a kitten that day, but I got a raincheck for one within seven days.

That Saturday I was really missing Potato, so I called Lollypop Farm to see if you had any kittens. I was told over the phone you did not but still thought I'd see if you had any cats I could fall in love with. Upon arrival, I asked someone in the adoption center if you had kittens, and to my surprise, I was told you had two!!! I have always wanted an orange cat, and once I heard that one of the kittens was orange I knew he was meant to be mine!!

He is pefect and fits so well into my home and family. I don't know where I would be right now without him. I'm currently getting chemo, and he is the perfect cuddler on the days I want to do nothing but lay in bed. :) Thank you Jill for all of your assistance. Orange Kitty has a name now... Wyatt. :)
