"Baby's back, dressed in black,
Walkin' the dog,
Just walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it,
I'll show you how to walk the dog"

I'm not a great fan of the zoos, I Love the animals in your environment, not in closed spaces or in jails, but is a great opportunity for take a different photos... =O).
This week a new series: "Zoo", I hope you like! =0)
Sibirischer Uhu - Siberian eagle owl
Der Sibirische Uhu ist im östlichen Rußland
sowie in Sibirien verbreitet. Sie ist die weltweit größte Eulenart.
Die Männchen erreichen eine Größe von ca. 68 cm, ein Gewicht von bis zu 2500 Gramm bei einer Flügelspannweite von 160 cm.
The Siberian eagle owl is found in eastern Russia and Siberia. It is the largest owl species in the world.
I have not been to a Zoo for over 50 years and if totally honest not a great fan. On this occasion I was in the area and I had read a lot about Marwell Zoo and the work they have done with endangered species and so we had a day to have a look. I have to say we were both totally surprised and impressed. The animals were in excellent condition and the enclosures were clean and big. The bird avery was great along with the reptile area. I would go again and support them.
Zoo Animals
There always seems to be a stigma between Zoo Animals and Creatures in the Wild, from a photographic point but as I cannot get about as well as I could. So if you can get the right image, that’s good, and makes me well satisfied of what I can achieve. Hope you like this series. I know I enjoyed the experience. Stay safe. Patrick
Ps I’m now having computer problems so there will be a little delay in responding. Just typical.
Ein sehr schöner Zoo, der Besuch hat sich gelohnt, war ich bestimmt nicht zum letzten mal!

Two nice meerkats in the zoo in Płock. It is my last photo from this zoo :)
The meerkat (Suricata suricatta) or suricate is a small mongoose found in southern Africa. Meerkats are eusocial, and form packs of two to 30 individuals each that occupy home ranges around 5 km2 in area. They live in rock crevices in stony, often calcareous areas, and in large burrow systems in plains. Meerkats are active during the day. They use a broad variety of calls to communicate among one another for different purposes, for example to raise alarm on sighting a predator. The meerkats are primarily an insectivore, feeding heavily on beetles and lepidopterans. They can additionally feed on eggs, amphibians, arthropods (such as scorpions, to whose venom they are immune), reptiles, small birds, plants and seeds.

Sympatyczne surykatki pstryknięte w płockim zoo. I to już moje ostatnie zdjęcie z tego ogrodu zoologicznego :)
Surykatka szara, surykatka (Suricata suricatta) – gatunek drapieżnego ssaka z rodziny mangustowatych. Zamieszkuje w południowej Afryce. Prowadzi dzienny tryb życia, zazwyczaj w stadach zajmujących określone terytorium. Liczące do 30 osobników stado składa się zwykle z dwóch lub trzech grup rodzinnych. Grupę rodzinną tworzy przystępująca do rozrodu para oraz ich potomstwo, które nie osiągnęło jeszcze dojrzałości płciowej. Na terenie otwartym surykatki kopią nory, lecz gdy jest to możliwe, korzystają ze skalnych szczelin. Surykatki mają silnie rozwinięte zachowania socjalne. Wykazują wiele zachowań antydrapieżniczych, od sygnałów alarmowych po czynną, grupową obronę przed atakującym drapieżnikiem. Surykatka jest wszystkożerna. Zjada głównie owady i inne bezkręgowce, ale również gady, ptaki i ssaki uzupełnione pokarmem roślinnym.
Flamingo at The Welsh Mountain Zoo, Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
Flamingo's are a type of wading bird in the family Phoenicopteridae.
A group of flamingo's is called a
" Flamboyance "
Flamingo's are omnivores and filter-feed on brine shrimp, and blue-green algae, as well as insect larvae small insects and mollusks and crustaceans.
The pink or reddish colour of flamingo's comes from carotenoid in their diet, of animal and plant plankton.
Flamingo's prefer to drink freshwater, but they are equipped with glands under their eyes
that remove extra salt from their bodies,so this organ allows them to also drink saltwater.
Meerkats work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, like this lonely fellow, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground.
A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet.
Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
San Diego Zoo
Der Zoo Basel ist ein zoologischer Garten in Basel. Er befindet sich im Stadtquartier Basel-Bachletten am Fluss Birsig. Er wurde 1874 eröffnet und ist somit der älteste Zoo der Schweiz. Mit 7017 (2014) Tieren in 628 Arten (58 Säugetierarten, 88 Vogelarten, 41 Reptilienarten, 10 Amphibienarten, 284 Fischarten und 147 Arten an wirbellosen Tieren) besitzt er auch mit Abstand den grössten Tierbestand. Aufgrund von Zuchterfolgen wie bei Panzernashorn, Zwergflusspferd oder Westlichem Flachlandgorilla wurde der Stadtzoo weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannt und gilt daher, trotz seiner relativ kleinen Fläche von rund 11 Hektaren, als einer der bedeutenden Zoos von Europa.

⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
