Arribant a primera hora del matí, el passat dimecres ens va saludar aquest MD-11F de Lufthansa Cargo, venint de Frankfurt am Main a carregar 12 lleons i 4 ossos per dur-los al zoo de Chicago.
Aquí el veiem rotant per la 25R cap a Chicago O'Hare.
Agraeixo des d'aquí a la persona que em va passar la informació sobre el vol.

This abandoned Zoology Department lies on the edges of a busy University campus. These buildings have been derelict since the latter 2000s.
ZooPark 2012 - the annual zoological fair and exhibition in Lublin, Poland.
An interesting event - not sure what was more exotic and unusual: beautiful, rare animals or the behaviour and all the small rituals of their owners, breeders and visitors...
The Tbilisi Zoological Park (Georgian: თბილისის ზოოლოგიური პარკი) is the oldest and largest zoo in Georgia, in the country's capital of Tbilisi. Founded in 1927, it is located in the Vere River valley in central Tbilisi. The zoo was heavily affected by a flood on 13 June 2015, leaving many of its inhabitants dead or on the loose. Prior to that, the zoo occupied the area of approximately 120 hectares and was populated by around 300 species, native to the Caucasus as well as other regions of the world.
The Tbilisi Zoo was established by the decision of the Tbilisi City Council on 10 February 1927. It was designed by a group of Georgian and Russian specialists. The Zoo was further expanded in the 1930s. Initially the Zoo consisted of 4 sections: Caucasian or Local; Fauna of the USSR; Exotic animals; Agricultural animals.[1]At its heyday in the 1970s, the Tbilisi Zoo was home to more than 1,000 animals and enjoyed more than 500,000 visitors per year. The Zoo, largely depending on dwindling funding allocated from the city budget, went into decay as a corollary of an economical collapse and political unrest that hit post-Soviet Georgia in the 1990s. A World Society for the Protection of Animals representative, Neil Trent, reported in 1993 that more than half of the animals at the zoo had died of starvation or cold since 1991.
The Zoo experienced a modest revival in the late 2000s. A marine aquarium, the first such establishment in the Caucasus, was opened in 2007. The Zoo belongs to the Tbilisi City Hall and largely depends on funding allocated from the city budget. In 2012, the government of Tbilisi decided to relocate the zoo from the city's centre to a zoological and recreation complex adjacent to the Tbilisi Sea, a large reservoir at the eastern outskirts of Tbilisi. A project developed by the Australia-based architecture firm Hassell was to include "an entrance hub, boulevard, a secondary hub with playground and café, inner zoo and an outer open range zoo as well as woodland areas." Due to the lack of funds, the relocation was delayed and the zoo remained at its old location, when, on 13 June 2015, the swollen Vere river flooded the zoo. Several of its inhabitants died, while many surviving animals, such as a hippopotamus, lions, tigers, bears, and wolves, escaped to the streets of Tbilisi. Some animals were recaptured but several were shot by emergency forces. In total, the zoo lost nearly half of its inhabitants.
This wonderful peacock display was captured at Taronga Zoo on a family outing back in 2008. There is also a video which can be viewed here:

These are the final three pictures from the exhibition of local contemporary artist Josh Foley's show, "Calculating Infinity".
Foley is well and truly into Symbolist art and we can see this in his take on a portrait of Queen Victoria. The title is interesting and might have many meanings, but the most obvious one is that during Victoria's reign there was a great interest in cataloging the new species discovered in the colonies.
But look closely at the code in the letters: Among the binary computer code we read, "Which face is yours?" Now look at Victoria's face.
In the fashion of a Francis Bacon painting it is dripping with paint (as if melting in some furnace). And on her forehead a third eye. Fascinating stuff. I'll let you sort it out.
Aringnar Anna Zoological Park is the biggest zoological park in India with an area of around 600 hectares.
As of 2012 the park houses around 1,500 wild species, including 46 endangered species, in its 160 enclosures. As of 2010, there were about 47 species of mammals, 63 species of birds, 31 species of reptiles, 5 species of amphibians, 25 species of fishes, and 10 species of insects in the park.
The park, with an objective to be a repository of the state's fauna, is credited with being the second wildlife sanctuary in Tamil Nadu after Mudumalai National Park.
I am not a big fan of shooting pictures in zoos as they mostly are not very interesting compositions...however I specifically liked the way this leopard was looking at me and the only good thing about it is the cage that was separating the man from the beast...
Thanks for viewing and have a nice day!
Leipzig Zoo was opened on June 9, 1878. It was taken over by the city of Leipzig in 1920 after World War I and now covers about 27 hectares and contains approximately 850 different species.
