Also known as the Eastern Gray Squirrel, native to eastern North America where it is an essential natural forester. Less arboreal than then the Red Squirrel as the grey tends to feed extensively on the ground. Its not their fault that there over here in the UK that one lie's with the worlds most destructive and most dangerous animal on the planet called the human. This is one of the first wild mammals that children can get to see regally and so sometimes help encourage them to get into nature.

The blackbuck, (Antilope cervicapra) also known as the Indian antelope, is an antelope commonly found in India. The blackbuck is the sole extant member of the genus Antilope. This shot was taken in Velavadar, Gujarat. My blog on Velavadar can be seen at jagadipsingh.blogspot.in

The white blackbuck here is either albino or leukistic. Albinism in Blackbucks is rare and caused by the lack of 'Melanin'. The animal looks fully white due to the lack of melanin in their skin. Wildlife experts say that the biggest problem with these Albinos is that they are singled out by predators and hunted. These are Albinos.

Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin.

Also known as Oriental Garden Lizard

This lizard is sometimes called the “changeable lizard,” and the male can change his colors readily in breeding season. He sometimes will have a yellow head and neck, red body, and black limbs and tail. Outside of breeding season, these lizards can change their colors from drab brown to red, black, or a mixture of both.

These colorful lizards are an especially interesting group, as they can change color in several different ways. They are sometimes called bloodsucker lizards (not to be confused with the Sumatran bloodsucker lizard). That name likely comes from the fact that, during breeding season, males usually have bright red throats.

The church ruin of the Holy Grave, also known as the Schöntal ruin, is the ruin of the Beguine Monastery church, which was built between 1543 and 1545 and burned down in 1552. This was built by Archbishop Albrecht von Brandenburg around 1500 in the "Tiergarten zu Aschaffenburg". In 1540 he made his partner Agnes Pless his abbess. Already in the Schmalkaldic War in 1546 and a few years later in the Second Margrave War in 1552, the building was largely destroyed. With the dissolution of the Beguine Convent, the Aschaffenburg Church of the Holy Sepulcher was left to decay. Since the church building only stood for a short time, the presence of the beguines in Aschaffenburg's local history has only been handed down in the zoo. The ruins were later included in the park design.

Die Kirchenruine zum Heiligen Grabe, auch als Schöntalruine bekannt, ist die Ruine der 1543 bis 1545 erbauten und 1552 niedergebrannten Kirche des Beginenklosters. Dieses wurde vom Erzbischof Albrecht von Brandenburg um das Jahr 1500 im „Tiergarten zu Aschaffenburg“ errichtet. Zu dessen Äbtissin machte er 1540 seine Lebensgefährtin Agnes Pless. Bereits im Schmalkaldischen Krieg 1546 und wenige Jahre später im Zweiten Markgrafenkrieg 1552 wurde das Gebäude weitestgehend zerstört. Mit der Auflösung des Beginenkonvents wurde die Aschaffenburger Grabeskirche dem Verfall preisgegeben. Da das Kirchengebäude nur kurze Zeit stand, hat sich die Anwesenheit der Beginen in der Aschaffenburger Lokalgeschichte nur im Tiergarten überliefert.Die Ruine wurde später in die Parkgestaltung mit einbezogen.
