This frog statue makes its rounds at the zoo. Last week, the frog was keeping the zebras company. The zebras noticed!
i can only imagine what would have happened if the frog had moved.

I had bought this 3D crystal puzzle before Christmas and finally got around to putting it together. It wasn't as difficult as I imagined. (bit.ly/2Y89e1H)
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. – John Milton
Have you ever thought – in life we receive a lot more than we ever give. Yet, it is easy for us to remember about things we wanted but haven’t got yet, plans that were planned but haven’t worked out yet etc. But you just reading this, shows you are among the gifted – who got to learn to read, have the will to read, probably have the basic needs met and among the the ones who have WiFi or mobile with a data plan. If nothing else, just the probability of you even existing now at all comes out to 1 in 10 power 2,685,000. Basically, the odds you even exist is zero. Yet you exist.
Realize the miracle you are and yet how wonderfully insignificant you are. Be thankful… live… live a life filled with Gratitude :)
January 4 the cubs turned 1 and they had a little party with treats and piñatas.
Milo claimed the donkey pinata but his favourite was the rainbow.
This was him checking it out before he took it away. If a cub looked side ways at it he would place a paw on it and growl.
Concatedral de Santa Maria de la Redonda, Logroño, La Rioja, España.
La concatedral de Santa María de la Redonda es una iglesia situada en el centro del casco histórico de Logroño (La Rioja, España). Junto a las catedrales de Calahorra y de Santo Domingo de La Calzada, conforman un caso singular en el orbe católico, al ser una diócesis con tres sedes catedralicias.
La estructura arquitectónica de la concatedral se construye fundamentalmente desde el siglo XVI al siglo XIX.
Está compuesta por tres naves, un deambulatorio y el trascoro (Capilla de los Ángeles), con su puerta principal flanqueada por dos torres gemelas. A lo largo de los muros laterales se extienden las capillas que cierran la construcción definitiva en el norte y sur del templo.
Entre 1516 y 1538 se construye el cuerpo central en estilo Gótico de los Reyes Católicos. Alzando la vista se contempla algo similar a un palmeral de piedra sugerido por las esbeltas columnas cilíndricas sin nervadura, y el despliegue en lo alto de una filigrana de ramas que confluyen en las bóvedas de crucería.
Las capillas laterales se van completando y enriqueciendo a lo largo de los siglos XVI y XVII, albergando pinturas y esculturas religiosas, retablos y rejerías, así como unas imágenes procedentes de otros templos o monasterios desaparecidos.
Destaca la capilla barroca de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles (1756), junto al pórtico y el monumental retablo en piedra de la fachada principal, flanqueado por sus dos torres gemelas, construidas por Martín de Beratúa, que constituyen el icono que representa a la ciudad de Logroño. Tomaron como modelo la torre de la iglesia de Santo Tomás de Haro y se repite en otras localidades riojanas como en Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Briones, Oyón, Labraza, etc., destacando siempre en el horizonte su verticalidad y conformando lo que se ha llamado barroco riojano.
Entre las dos torres se encuentra una fachada-retablo en piedra diseñada por Juan Bautista Arbaiza. Está situada sobre la puerta principal cerrando el paso una verja.
La última ampliación arquitectónica se produjo en el siglo XIX, con la construcción del actual deambulatorio por el lado de la cabecera, prolongación de continuidad constructiva y estética de la Real Capilla del Santo Cristo del Obispo Pedro González de Castillo.
El templo, orientado rigurosamente de este a oeste, está situado en la parte central del casco antiguo de Logroño, y se abre a la antigua plaza del Mercado, junto a la calle Portales, que conserva todo su sabor histórico y en la que sigue fluyendo la vida social, religiosa y cultural de la ciudad.
The Co-Cathedral of Santa María de la Redonda is a church located in the historic center of Logroño (La Rioja, Spain). Along with the cathedrals of Calahorra and Santo Domingo de La Calzada, they are unique in the Catholic world, as a diocese with three cathedral sees.
The architectural structure of the co-cathedral was built primarily from the 16th to the 19th century.
It consists of three naves, an ambulatory, and the transept (Chapel of the Angels), with its main door flanked by twin towers. Chapels extend along the side walls, concluding the final structure to the north and south of the church.
Between 1516 and 1538, the central body was built in the Gothic style of the Catholic Monarchs. Looking up, one sees something resembling a stone palm grove, suggested by the slender, ribless cylindrical columns and the filigree display of branches at the top that converge in the ribbed vaults.
The side chapels were completed and enriched throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, housing religious paintings and sculptures, altarpieces and grilles, as well as images from other temples or monasteries that no longer exist.
The Baroque chapel of Our Lady of the Angels (1756) stands out, along with the portico and the monumental stone altarpiece on the main façade, flanked by its twin towers, built by Martín de Beratúa, which constitute the icon representing the city of Logroño. They took the tower of the Church of Santo Tomás de Haro as a model, and it is replicated in other Riojan towns such as Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Briones, Oyón, Labraza, etc., always standing out on the horizon with its verticality, forming what has been called Riojan Baroque.
Between the two towers is a stone altarpiece-façade designed by Juan Bautista Arbaiza. It is located above the main door, blocked by a gate.
The last architectural extension took place in the 19th century, with the construction of the current ambulatory on the side of the sanctuary, an extension of the constructive and aesthetic continuity of the Royal Chapel of the Holy Christ of Bishop Pedro González de Castillo.
The church, strictly oriented east to west, is located in the central part of Logroño's old town and opens onto the old Market Square, next to Portales Street, which retains all its historical flavor and is still a hub of the city's social, religious, and cultural life.
Former uranium enrichment site now a preserve with many restrictions. No hunting, fishing, wading, dogs, removal of anything so I'd say an occasional walk on the trails would be OK.
It was a rainy morning in San Diego today (April 28, 2016), but at the San Diego Zoo, the forecast called for snow. One-year-old jaguar cub Valerio and his mom, Nindiri, woke up to an unexpected surprise: piles of fresh, glistening snow blanketing their habitat. The duo appeared cautious when they entered the exhibit, stepping gingerly on the snow, unsure how to react to the novel substance. However, after a few minutes, the pair started exploring, climbing, searching for buried meatballs and showcasing their natural behaviors while enjoying their chilly enrichment surprise. Animal care staff said the cats’ personalities really shined through, and it was fascinating seeing them venture to parts of their habitat they normally wouldn’t explore this early in the day.
The 8-tons of fresh powder was provided through a generous donation to the Zoo’s animal care wish list as an enrichment item for the jaguars. The San Diego Zoo provides enrichment for the animals in its care to encourage their natural behaviors, providing them opportunity to thrive.
Today’s snow day marks the first time this mom and cub have ever encountered snow. Jaguars, whose name means “animal that kills in a single bound,” are native to warmer climates of North and South America. They are the largest cat in the Western Hemisphere, and the third largest of the world’s cats. Unfortunately, demand for the jaguar’s beautiful rosette-pattern fur is one of the reasons this species is listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In addition, Jaguars are losing precious habitat, and human-jaguar conflicts are causing their numbers to decrease rapidly. There are only an estimated 10,000 jaguars left in the wild. San Diego Zoo Global partners with the Wildlands Network and Latin American conservationists to study, monitor and protect jaguars. Through those efforts, combined with educational outreach to local communities, the San Diego Zoo hopes to decrease human-jaguar conflicts.
I have found a sweet spot to stand to try and get the cheetahs in action, it's a very small sweet spot which means I have to be extra focused and extra quick on my clicker finger.

This plastic ball contains fruit and vegetables for the wallabies. The little marsupials need to figure out how to get to the food by poking their noses in the round holes.
The keepers come up with all different things and objects to enrich the lions play time and sometimes it's the most simple thing that they love.
Thank you all for sharing your amazing images, for the inspiration you are and for enriching my life!
An enrichment experience for the young muntjac deer. This little one arrived at Elmwood Park Zoo in May. I haven't yet seen an announcement about its sex or name, but it is beautiful to watch!
Most often, I post photos of Tatu and Josh, two Masai giraffes who live at the Lehigh Valley Zoo. In contrast, Elmwood Park Zoo, where I also volunteer, has three reticulated giraffes. They're not quite as tall as Masai giraffes, and they're lighter in color.
Here, a reticulated giraffe reaches for some tempting food, hidden in PVC pipe and suspended overhead. This type of enrichment encourages natural behaviors, and keeps animals exploring their environments.
Not only did the zookeepers hide food in this plastic ball, but they smeared the surface with something tasty. Titan had a blast with his breakfast!
The San Diego Zoo hosted a fun-filled birthday party for its guests, during the opening weekend of its annual Play Days event. Guests touring the Harry and Grace Steele Elephant Odyssey between noon and 1:30 p.m. today (Saturday, March 19) were part of the celebration, which featured face painting, a cakewalk and party favors. The party’s guests of honor were the elephants, which were given special enrichment items and were the hit of the party.
A specialty wreath made of stripped branches wrapped with ficus and acacia leaves—in the shape of the number 100—was placed in the main elephant yard by the pool. There were also fruits skewered on branches, which encourage the elephants’ natural foraging behaviors; and animal care staff placed balls in the elephant pool, for female elephants Devi, Tembo and Sumithi to play with.
Don't forget the coupons - or the car keys either, for that matter, and your glasses, so you can read the tiny tiny ingredients labels, and you'll know what you're really eating.
90% of any packaged food you buy consists of three ingredients: bleached enriched flour, high fructose corn syrup, and palm/ and or canola oil prepared in a factory that also may contain peanuts, milk and/or eggs.
With these three key ingredients, they can call it breakfast cereal, candy, cheese food, bread, salisbuty steak TV dinner, or cookies.
I've been able to watch this pair of siblings a couple of times now, though the last time I checked, they did not seem to be at this particular burrow or the ones close by. They are a gas to watch, goofy expressions, neck stretches. They've really enriched my life this spring.
The lions have a new rock pool in their enclosure and although they love it and play in it, I have not seen or heard of them going in for a swim just yet.
I am looking forward to when it warms up to see if they use it as their own personal swimming pool.
Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) named "Jessica", with her son "Denny" - enjoying the treats at his 1st Birthday Party. San Diego Zoo
The meat was placed just high enough that the lynx had to stand on it back legs and reach for the food. It was clever enrichment.
The river hippopotamus habitat was the hip place to be today at the San Diego Zoo. The Zoo hosted a party for its 100th birthday and also celebrated the first birthday of its hippo calf, Devi, who was born March 23, 2015.
The party started at noon when keepers tossed a wreath in the shape of the number “100” into the pool. The wreath was made from the leaves and branches of honeysuckle and grewia plants grown at the Zoo. Devi’s mother, Funani, immediately bit down and chewed on the foliage. Devi ended up putting her head through one of the zeros in the wreath. Animal care staff also tossed two halves of a watermelon into the hippo pool. Funani didn’t immediately eat the watermelon but waited until the currents in the pool brought it closer to her.
Later in the party, Funani showed guests what big teeth she has when keepers used a “water cannon” that sprays into the pool. The hippos move towards the stream of water and open their mouths to catch the water and perhaps clean their teeth.
The hippopotamus is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, known as the IUCN. The primary threats to hippos are illegal and unregulated hunting for meat and the ivory found in the canine teeth, and habitat loss. Hippos can still be found in a number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
In a zoo, "enrichment" refers to anything given to an animal to stimulate its thinking and keep it interacting with its environment. Often, food is hidden inside objects; it's part of the animal's "enrichment" plan to figure out how to retrieve it.
Here, Titan, the raccoon, has received an orange cone with food inside. Something beyond his ordinary routine.
