A few weeks ago we went to the zoo and I was thrilled to see the five baby Amur Tigers with their mother playing in a pool of water!sammawowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865129180297239296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036154454707124673.post-39475637656827297972009-04-24T17:42:00.000-07:002009-04-24T17:42:00.000-07:00You have such a great bloggie about our big cuzzins.

Perhaps yes he was fifteen but why were they interfering with his natural life cycle to begin with. Tracking for research I can live with but doing this wasn't right. Also I commented on the issue of the clouded leopard in the zoo. I came from the view point that many zoos have gone away from simply just having a collection of animals and have contributed greatly to the preservation and return of endangered animals to the wild. She had noted that the primary focus of Zoos now was Conservation and Education - exactly.<br /><br />Sad about the Boys being killed by the Lion. Another example of human/animal conflict very very sad.<br /><br />I will be reading yet more of your great post.

Something's being done at last!<br />On the subject of Russia - they are horrendous where wildlife is concerned. I don't want to go into details here. A bit off-topic: the Russian state circus is coming over here to Germany. I can't believe it. The poor animals are treated so badly. <br /><br />On a more cheery note: I have an award for you! Feel free to pick it up whenever you have time!<br /><br />take care,<br /><br />DuniDunihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273071467750510363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036154454707124673.post-55633726006531894172009-04-21T09:28:00.000-07:002009-04-21T09:28:00.000-07:00We didn't realize that there are so many different types of Leopard.

Thanks! <br /><br />How heart-wrenching that there are only twenty-five Amur Leopards left in the world. But I am glad to read that there is a plan for a reserve in the works. And I am glad to read the good news about tigers in India.<br /><br />An interesting tidbit about cougar encounters, too. I am an avid hiker, though, to my knowledge, there are no cougars in the woods in which I hike. There are, however, bobcats. :)<br /><br />Take care, Omer! I always enjoy reading your blog and I admire your caring and your commitment to getting important news out about the magnificent big cats. The Ballicai send purrs and head bonks!Thomma Lynhttp://www.thommalyngrindstaff.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036154454707124673.post-17798057991445239022009-04-20T21:34:00.000-07:002009-04-20T21:34:00.000-07:00I hate the fact that we've made such a mess of this place that we need zoos to make sure species survive (even in the limited sense that zoo animals live - I mean, their culture dies in one generation!)katztaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10036407326752053191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036154454707124673.post-52077216985288092422009-04-20T21:07:00.001-07:002009-04-20T21:07:00.001-07:00I wish you could come visit EFBC/FCC - they have the largest genetically diverse colony of Amurs in the world.

I feel very sad about the last US jaguar. I don't think it was right to euthanise him, though I guess if he was really suffering maybe it was right. It's difficult... My heart cat Ollie had kidney failure and we had to make the decision because I think he was saying, "Mummy, enough". He had everything to eat and drink a cat could wish for, but he started eating earth. The vet came to the house and Ollie died in my arms...<br /><br />Sorry, very leaky eyes now!<br /><br />Love and blessings to you dear Omer! xxxBlack Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16794309092448698763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036154454707124673.post-26922605761112983352009-04-20T10:15:00.000-07:002009-04-20T10:15:00.000-07:00Cats are indeed so very majestic.
