Rainy Zoo Day Has been awhile since I’ve been to the zoo. Hoping to feed the giraffes; however, on this rainy day giraffes, gorillas, and elephants choose stay in. Nonetheless this visit got to see the new ones.

The signage at the #cougarmountainzoo was wonderfully straightforward: #zooanimals are #wildanimals and will act accordingly for their species, and no, you may not annoy or tease the #predators . Each enclosure's signs outlined the range of normal behaviors for the species, serving doubly for both safety information and education. #zoosmatter #dontteasethetigers #speciestypicalbehaviour #notapettingzoo (at Cougar Mountain Zoo)

Either there isn’t much of a SeaWorld/marine park community on tumblr or I’m just really bad at finding them?! I’m used to instagram and twitter, it’s so much easier to find people to follow there lol. 

Here’s a tag spam I guess so if you see this, let’s be moots? If anyone is out there?

If you ask a child to draw a picture of an animal in a zoo, chances are they will draw an animal behind bars, we want to change that image

@Regrann from @dallaszoo - #GlobalTigerDay: It's sadly believed that there are more pet tigers living in Texas than there are in the wild. Let that sink in. There are many factors causing the decline of the largest living cat species. Habitat loss, poaching, prey depletion, and tiger-human conflict have dropped Asia's #tiger numbers to fewer than 3,500 today. Dallas Zoo's five #Sumatrantigers are among the smallest and most endangered tiger subspecies, with fewer than 400 left in the wild. On this special day, please consider donating directly to the Tiger Conservation Campaign through AZA's Tiger Species Survival Plan to help accredited zoos save these majestic animals: www.tigercampaign.org AND meet our five amazing Sumatran tigers -- Kipling (pictured here), Melati, Hadiah, Sukacita and Manis -- in this throwback blog about our cats' personalities and their distinctive characteristics: bit.ly/DZTigers #catsofinstagram #savingspecies #zoosmatter #endextinction (at Dallas Zoo)

Happy National Zookeeper Week!!! The skills I learned about animal husbandry and passion for wildlife conversation are still with me today thanks in part to lessons learned as a zookeeper in the early part of my career. Animals still come first, I scoop poop like nobody's business and always am happy to sacrifice holidays. But most of all I love instilling a passion for animals in others. #nationalzookeeperweek #aazk #animalcupcakes #zoosmatter

“Wuuddya mean I’m endangered?” Sad but true... It’s estimated that there are fewer than 8000 cheetahs in the wild. Thankfully there are several reputable organizations working hard to save them, including San Diego Zoo Global. From ambassadors to help you connect in person to an extensive breeding facility and conservation work in Africa - I am proud to be part of an organization working so hard to #EndExtinction. . . . . . #InternationalCheetahDay #CheetahDay #cheetah #exclusive_wildlife #savingspecies #makingadifference #sandiegozoo #safaripark #zookeeper #wildlife_vision #wildlifeeducation #zoosmatter #conservation #wildlifeconservation #wildlifeaddicts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_KjP4nJW9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gapq2bsfer4g

Ejea, a blue-and-gold #macaw at the #cougarmountainzoo, shows off his "peekaboo" behavior! Keeper staff told us he originally offered the behavior on his own, so all they had to do was capture it and put it on cue. Eventually, he picked up saying "peekaboo" himself! (Not pictured: a million and one repetitions of the behavior while he was on his perch, because it made the children shriek and laugh every time). #zoosmatter #blueandgoldmacaws #birdtraining #zooanimaltraining #positivereinforcement (at Cougar Mountain Zoo)

Same squirrel, same. Working short handed on an already halved staff team is exhausting. But we do it for our love of the animals, at the @thequeenszoo, who can’t take care of themselves. The finish line is nearing - two days left until 8 days off to rest. #zoo #zookeeper #zookeepersofinstagram #zookeepers #zookeeping #zoolife #zoolifestyle #zoosmatter #essentialworkers #covid19 #covid #covid2020 #quarantinelife #quarantine #queenszoo #queenszoonyc #squirrelsofinstagram #squirrel #squirrels (at Queens Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJABqRpa5_/?igshid=1rq2o3ov7k34j

It’s important to understand that ultimately groups like PETA (or its cousin, the Humane Society of the United States) don’t want to make better zoos. They want to phase out the use of animals—whether at a zoo, on a farm, or at a circus. Some activists go so far as to question the ethics of pet ownership. Serious issues are facing animals of all stripes and in all corners of the globe. If organizations like PETA and HSUS have their way, it will be more than zoos and aquariums that go extinct.
