I just loved this monkey...aka the CORONA FUNKY MONKEY! He seemed like a very happy monkey but for some reason, this photo makes me feel sad. :(
Toledo Zoo
There is much to learn by settling in and observing a primate such as this young animal. He was just on the other side of the glass in this exhibit, and he would occasionally look me directly in the eyes. At that moment, I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking of me ... as I was thinking of him.
Is he alone in captivity, or is it I that is a captive soul? I wonder...
I went to the zoo ~ a place I have very mixed feelings for. Unlike this chimpanzee, they let me out at closing time.

You can still see the fence a lot but foxes are too cute not to post

When we walked into the tapestry room at The Cloisters immediately our eyes went to this famous tapestry. I loved that it wasn't behind glass and you could get up close to it to appreciate the craftsmanship and bask in its history - it's dated between 1495–1505!
From the website: "'The Unicorn in Captivity' is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence, but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over: The unicorn could escape if he wished.
Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one, to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree—a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage—testify.
The red stains on his flank do not appear to be blood, as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series; rather, they represent juice dripping from bursting pomegranates above.
Many of the other plants represented here, such as wild orchid, bistort, and thistle, echo this theme of marriage and procreation: they were acclaimed in the Middle Ages as fertility aids for both men and women.
Even the little frog, nestled among the violets at the lower right, was cited by medieval writers for its noisy mating."

LS&I 2501, the last U25C in existence, sits on display near the railroad's ore dock in Marquette. Unfortunately, the unit and the rest of the display are looking worse for wear. However, the lack of maintenance on the display allowed for some color to pop up along the fence. Presque Isle, Marquette, MI.

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

The adult male Mandarin is a striking and unmistakable bird. It has a red bill, large white crescent above the eye and reddish face and "whiskers". The breast is purple with two vertical white bars, and the flanks ruddy, with two orange "sails" at the back. The female is similar to female wood duck, with a white eye-ring and stripe running back from the eye, but is paler below, has a small white flank stripe, and a pale tip to its bill.
Both the males and females have crests, but the crest is more pronounced on the male. Mandarin ducklings are almost identical in appearance to wood ducklings, and very similar to mallard ducklings. The ducklings can be distinguished from mallard ducklings because the eye-stripe of mandarin ducklings (and wood ducklings) stops at the eye, while in mallard ducklings it reaches all the way to the bill.
There are various mutations of the mandarin duck found in captivity. The most common is the white mandarin duck. Although the origin of this mutation is unknown, it is presumed that the constant pairing of related birds and selective breeding led to recessive gene combinations leading to genetic conditions including albinism.
Visit to the breeding place Cerefalco in Patrocinio / MG -Brazil. It's a bird in captivity that is a falconry bird too
