East African grey crowned crane and grackle friends

The crane is standing in a rocky zoo habitat near a food bowl. It is looking directly at a pair of Grackles.
The grackles did not pay for parking or purchase an entry ticket.

The crane asks me if they were with me.
I admitted that I have been known to give food and water to the grackles in South Dallas, and that I thought they were Her friends.

She didn’t believe me and told me to keep it moving🤷🏾‍♂️🤣

To understand their value as chemosignals, we analyzed patterns📈 of bile acid excretion in 💩 from reptiles🦎 (w/DallasZoo!), and from mice🐀 w/ different microbiomes🦠.

We found bile acid *patterns* - not indiv. ligands - distinguish predators from vegans, and germ-free from "conventional" mice (5/n)

Our tiger cubs officially have names! 🐯 The votes are in and our female cub's name is Rina. Her name honors Rina PA, a ranger with the Sumatran Ranger Project. Her brother, Serasi, was named by our animal care team in tribute to a ranger from the same organization.

I had to save some of that time the Dallas Zoo lost a clouded leopard and the replies were perfect

Screenshot of posts by Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo on Jan 13, 2023:
The Zoo is closed today due to a serious situation.

We have an ongoing situation at the Zoo right now with a Code Blue – that is a non-dangerous animal that is out of its habitat. One of our clouded leopards was not in its habitat when the team arrived this morning and is unaccounted for at this time.

Dallas PD is onsite assisting with the search efforts. The Zoo is closed today as our teams work to find and recover the animal. Given the nature of these animals, we believe the animal is still on grounds and hiding. We will share updates and more information as soon as we can.

Our focus right now is on locating the animal.

The problem is as soon as anybody sees it, it becomes a spotted leopard.

Baby chimpanzees!!! They were so cute and the highlight of the field trip to the @dallaszoo.

Check out this funny little axolotl. It sat there forever just smiling 🙂. Also have you ever seen an okapi? I hadn’t seen one before, so that was super neat to see!

Here are a few shots I took while on vacation last week from @dallaszoo. Was fun taking pics of animals. A little challenging with short lens and glass, but definitely fun.
