The white-capped albatross (Thalassarche cauta steadi) is a mollymawk that breeds on the islands off of New Zealand. Not all experts agree that this form should be recognized as a separate species from the shy albatross, Thalassarche cauta. It is a medium-sized black, slate gray, and white albatross and is the largest of the mollymawks....Wikipedia.
UPDATE: The ABA latest checklist has excluded the SHY ALBATROSS but included this WHITE-CAPPED ALBATROSS.....I don't worry too much about bird politics...I just follow blindly like most other people.
Have you ever found a new interest in something and it completely over takes your thinking and basically how you view the world and all in it?
Well that has happened to me. Before I started going to the zoo I had very limited knowledge about wildlife and what it meant for an animal to be endangered or vulnerable.
I was even of the mind set, that zoo's are bad but now that I have taken the time to get to know and expand my thinking I realise that zoo's and I speak of those who treat their animals right, are a massive part of the conservation of a species.
And although we and I know I would love to see them free and in the wild I also see the benefit of them being in a zoo.
To think that there are only 7000 or so cheetahs actually left in the wild is horrifying to think these beautiful animals could become extinct.
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. Leopards are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range. In Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, Syria, Libya, Tunisia and most likely in Morocco, leopard populations have already been extirpated. Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Look what the cat dragged in! This duckling was our cat's new victim. He was hunting down various Lizards, frogs, etc and now promoted to this baby. Fortunately we spotted soon enough to rescue and later released to a nearby pond where he was reintroduced with mama mallard and her rest of the babies. What's interesting is that the cat himself was also a rescue cat :)) Not so long ago he was rescued after an attack from Wild Dog/Coyote (it took him a while to even stand up). He forgot that trauma, and became a full-blown predator (I guess what a cat will be, what a cat will be) :) ... I guess both have a happy ending after all.
20+ photos were put into this expansion which is like the most I've done and I love how the photo turned out, I took like 781 million concepts I was never able to do before yesterday and it was great. This is my favorite from the shoot, and the beginning of my 52 weeks.

"Addison" an 8 year old cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) gave birth to 6 cubs on November 21, 2015. This is the largest litter ever delivered at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Cheetah Breeding Center. Four cubs are female and two are male.
The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is one of nine facilities in the Cheetah Breeding Center coalition. There are only 10,000 cheetahs left (with 10% in captive programs). Conservation Status: Vulnerable

A great albatross was always an event -- just massive, massive birds. We saw many over the course of the trip, but it never got old. And Snowy were more common; we saw only a few Southern Royals. Red-listed Vulnerable.
So here it is, then – Koh Ta Pu, also known as James Bond Island. It’s in the magical setting of Phang Nga Bay, one of the undisputed jewels in Thailand’s marine crown. The bay, covering some 400 sq kms, is an area of outstanding limestone cliffs and stacks, mangroves, sea grass beds, coral reefs and intertidal wetlands.
And here, left of frame, is Koh Ta Pu, the stack which featured in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun starring Roger Moore as 007 and Christopher Lee as the villain Scaramanga. The stack rises to some 21 metres and has a diameter of around 4 metres at sea level and 8 metres at the top. Although it’s a major tourist site and sight, no boats are allowed anywhere near it because of its vulnerability to erosion and eventual collapse. You view it from a distance. And what a view!
18 year old male polar bear, Kalluk, at San Diego Zoo. Polar Bear Snow Day 2019. Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Sambar deer horns are highly valued which often makes the animal a target for hunters.It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 2008. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat.
Saddens me when I see poverty like this, especially with poor sick children playing around in such filth.
