Grevy's Zebras by Joe! (aka Head & Butts - no poo)
endangered animal

Joe took this shot with my camera at the LA Zoo while I was occupied elsewhere. I thought he did very well. I am not going to post the picture he took of Zebra manure though. What a funny guy...

And now for the facts:
Grevy's zebra is the largest of all wild equines. It is found in the wild in Kenya and Ethiopia. Ancient Romans used Grevy's Zebras in their circuses.
They are considered endangered due to hunting for its skin, habitat destruction, human encroachment on watering holes, and competition with domestic grazing animals.


2008 Sambar Hunt SVNWR - Cresting the Oyster Pond Outlet Foredunes
endangered animal
Image by St.VincentVolunteers
Panoramic view of the beachfront at Oyster Pond Outlet, a major freshwater outfall on the southeastern shore of St. Vincent NWR. The wind lashes you as soon as you top the foredunes, and it is pretty much a constant in this beachscape. Note the many animal tracks that zig zag the windblown sand, many of them from the prior night, as they don't last long in this kind of wind. Offshore, at the top of the screen, one can see the extent of the growing land mass called Flag island. Near the end of the video, the lush, green curving west end of the island, five miles away, can be seen in the upper right of the screen. Video by USFWS Volunteer Robin Rickel Vroegop.
