Take This As A "Yes"

Having gotten back from Kenya, one of the most frequently asked questions has been "Did you get close to any animals?"

I got this shot one day when a female cheetah decided that she could use our vehicle as a look-out point. At first she politely kept herself on the hood.

Then, just as I was thinking "Oh no she wouldn't" . . . she did.
She jumped on top of our open vehicle and had herself a rest.

All in all, she stayed for a bit more than an hour. She slept, scouted, played with the bungee cord on top of the vehicle. She had a nice time. We had a great photo opportunity.

I'm hoping that if you look closely at her eyes, you can see the top of our vehicle (and us taking her photo).

I'll never forget it.
I've got plenty more where this one came from. I'll be posting more soon -- PROMISE!


Simple Owl Mask
photo of animals
Image by Douglas R Witt
If you have followed the steps thought the privies photos... you will note that the method of making this mask has not changed much... in fact not at all... the only this is I am making a simple owl mask.

I decided the character of the owl looked better if I did not add a slight curved to it. Once this set of three masks are completed templates and all. I then will be hot gluing a natural wooden bitch or dogwood stick I will collect out in nature.

My reasons for add a stick to hold the mask is, I think the masks will look really nice finish masquerade style and it will give it a playful outdoorsy feel to the overall project since we will be outside at a garden party.
I can’t wait to look out into a crowd of people and see little glimpses of brightly painted animal walking around. My other reason for adding stick is for the parents who will then have to carry the wet painted mask around for the rest of the afternoon… so the stick will make for easy carrying and with a little luck I will see the kids playing there new little animal characters.

I will post photos of the event to show the end results.


one this set of three are completed templates and all... I will be going out and cutting some branches as the way to wear the mask.

Location
Blijdorp, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Diergaarde Blijdorp (Official Dutch name: Stichting Koninklijke Rotterdamse Diergaarde, Foundation Royal Zoo of Rotterdam) is a zoo in the northwestern part of Rotterdam, one of the oldest zoos in the Netherlands. In 2007 it celebrated its 150th anniversary.

Diergaarde Blijdorp is a member of the Dutch Zoo Federation (NVD) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA).


History





Giraffes and monumental building
The original Rotterdam Zoo was lost in the bombing of Rotterdam in World War II, which destroyed most of the city centre. Some streetnames, such as Diergaardesingel (Zoolane), still recall the old zoo. Blijdorp was rebuilt slightly to the north, where it opened to the public in its current location on December 7, 1940. The new zoo was designed by Dutch architect Sybold van Ravesteyn, who designed the central railway station in Rotterdam, as well. In 2001, 'Blijdorp' became almost twice as large when it opened a new western part, called Oceanium, with its main attraction an aquarium. In 2007, the zoo was declared a rijksmonument.[3]

In May 2007 the zoo appeared in the news when Bokito, Blijdorp's silverback gorilla, escaped from his enclosure and seriously injured a female visitor. Before the attack, the woman was a regular visitor of the zoo (on average 4 times per week) and claimed to have a special bond with Bokito, regularly touching the glass between her and the gorilla, making eye contact and smiling to him.[4]

In October 2010, the city of Rotterdam decided to reduce its yearly funding of Blijdorp from nearly 4.5 to about 0.8 million Euro until 2015.[5] The zoo and its supporters protested the decision, claiming it is unclear if the zoo can continue to operate with the reduced budget.[6]

Born in Australia, now Thai nationality

The ferret is a domestic mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo. Domestic ferrets typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur, are predators, have an average length of approximately 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail, weigh about 1.5-4 pounds (0.8-2 kg) (males are typically substantially larger than the females),[1] and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.[2][3][4]
Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae (weasels) also have the word "ferret" in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat, the Steppe Polecat, or some hybrid of the two.
The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals. It is very likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years, but it is not certain for what purpose the ferret was originally domesticated. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are being kept simply as pets.
Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of ferret polecat hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna, perhaps most notably in New Zealand. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.

Norton Ultra 78 B/F Door Slammer!
animal pound
Image by sbfisher
A Norton 78 B/F door slammer, I mean door closer. It's on the front door to our building about 6 feet outside my apartment. It slams, the wall shakes, my wall shakes. Yay! It has adjustments for closing speed and the closing velocity just before latching. Supposedly it can be adjusted (found the manual for it online).

The problem is that they salvaged it from a WWI u-boat or something so it has excellent slamming action with the hydraulics having gone out sometime in the 1950s, but the ultra slamming spring is still in great shape. If people just let go of the door it slams into the door frame with enough force to smash uranium atoms and create a nuclear reaction that would wipe out all of Northern California. Good thing the frame and door aren't made of uranium. Needless to say it creates a loud noise and my entire apartment shudders.

Some people who live here actually grab the door and try to close it gently rather than letting it SLAM at train-wreck speeds. Other people just fling it open and let it go. They don't care since it's not right outside their apartment. I should find out which apartments they live in and pound on their walls at random times to see how that goes over with them. My theory is that they were raised by gorillas or in a barn. I favor the gorilla theory since at least barns have doors and the other animals might have mentioned to them not to slam doors at some point while they were growing up.

Skateboard guy always flings and slams. He flings it open, throws his skateboard down and "Skates or Dies" away to try outrunning the shockwave it creates. Thanks moron.

But even worse is "rico suave all-night pus dog," who routinely comes home sometime between 1 and 4 am after a hard night pleasing the ladies with his hairy chest and mountains of gold chains. He flings the door wide and lets it go causing a minor earthquake that is slowly moving the earth from its axis. Needless to say, mr. lady pleaser wakes me up when he comes home. Thank you dill weed. I've got some plans that will stop your little love escapades and subsequent slamming action. We're talking Loreena Bobbitt here. One of these nights I'll be waiting to shove your manhood and any other pieces of your anatomy that get in the way in front of the door you flung open and just in time for them to get in the way of the slamming action. The door will find a new use as a special kind of guillotine. You won't be pleasing those ladies much more. We're talking very soon.

I'm hoping the maintenance guy will fix the damn thing or buy a model a little more recently made than 94 years ago.


Mandrill

The Mandrill is a endangered baboon. Like the hamadryas baboon, the male is twice as large as teh female. Unlike the hamadryas baboon (whose male can reach 50 pounds), the male mandrill can weigh more than 60 pounds.

Their diet consists of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and small animals.

They are found in tropical forests of Equatorial Africa.

Army carrier pigeons bathing, France, during World War I. This image shows a group of pigeons enjoying a bath in a tin tray full of water. Carrier pigeons were widely used by both sides in World War I. Their use for carrying messages has been recorded back to the ancient Greeks. More recently, Iraqi forces used them in the Gulf War.

Birds need to have access to water to clean their feathers so that they are able to fly.
