A Couple Critters that have visited me recently

Here are a couple dogs that have visited me:

The San Diego Zoo

I got to go to the San Diego Zoo December 22, 2008. It was cold and rainy the whole time. But I got to see lots of animals anyway.

I got to see Zhen Zhen the Panda Cub, who I've been watching on the Panda Cam http://www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam/index.html since she was 19 days old.

I rode the tour bus and saw ducks and flamingos, a baby girrafe, meerkats, otters, monkeys, a panda, lions, grizzly bear cubs, camels, vicunas, a sloth bear, asian elephants, capybaras, a mother and baby indian rhino and lots of other animals.

Then, after the bus I saw binturongs, a sun bear, the pandas (Bai Yun and Zhen Zhen, Gao Gao, I didn't see Su Lin) and koalas. I went to Ituri Forest and Scripps Aviary too.

Here are some pictures:

More About Chickens

There have been a few predator attacks lately. There was a dog attack on August 3rd, 2007 that I lost 9 chickens in. On October 21st, 2007 Snowy disappeared and the next day a bobcat got one of the chicks. Now the mother hen (who has been at the bottom of the pecking order) keeps disappearing and coming back so there's just 4-5 chickens now. Then I heard a chicken outside and it was her! She left again and I havn't seen her since October 2007.

Here is a picture of the flock:The remaining chick is growing fast. Here's a picture of him almost 5 months old:

This is Henny Penny. She is at the top of the pecking order besides my two roosters, Goldie and Collar.

This is Snowy, one of my hens.

This is Lonely. When the chickens were young, she got pecked alot and 1 of her toes is missing.

Here is Goldie my pet rooster. He is 5 months old in this picture.

Here are the 2 chicks when they are 1 month and 2 weeks old.

Here is my flock of chickens (without the mother hen and her 2 chicks) in August 2007. The flock is very small now (only 7 birds) because 2 dogs attacked.

Here is my flock of chickens in April (2007).

Here is my flock of chickens last August (2006).

This is the mother of my 2 new chicks.

Here is Collar, the rooster at the top of the pecking order.

The Bronx Zoo

I went to the Bronx Zoo on the 8th of July.

The first animals I saw were African Wild Dogs and Giraffes. They were pretty.

Then I went to the Congo Gorilla Forest and saw a South African Black and White Colabus Monkey, some Okapis, Fresh Water Butterfly Fish, Congo Tetras, a Duck with little cute Ducklings, some Gorillas (including a Silver-Back and a mommy and baby), a De Brazza’s Monkey and Mandrill, Red River Hogs and a HUGE Elephant foot print.

There was a neat Bug Carousel.


In the Children's Zoo there were Fennec Foxes, Tortoises, Prairie Dogs, Goats, and lots of other animals.


In the Mouse House there were Acuchis, Chinchillas, Degus, Four Striped Grass Mice, Wild Guinea Pigs (Cavys), Tree Cavys, and Patagonian Cavys and lots of other cute little critters.


I road on the Skyfari cable car and saw Gelada (Bleeding Heart) Baboons.


I saw an Electric Catfish, a Babirusa and Termite mound. The Termite mound had a Camara sticking into it and there was a video of the inside.

It was a really fun zoo!
