Vancouver Aquarium :
"The Aquarium houses three caimans that were born in 1978 at Fort Worth, Texas. They were sent here in 1983 from the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. The Aquarium is the temporary home for the Golden Crocodiles until April 2000. While these rare and endangered crocs are with us, the caiman will be removed from the exhibit. The Golden Crocodiles, also known as the Indo-Pacific crocodiles, were born in Samutprakan Crocodile Farm in Thailand ".

Macaw
Image by Matthew Kenwrick
Macaws are native to Mexico, Central America, South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most species are associated with forest, especially rainforest, but others prefer brushy woodland or savanna imitative semitropical wild habitats. Macaws are high up on the threatened bird list and extinction may endanger most of the species without preservation and zoological efforts.

ENGLISH
The Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus), also called the Finback Whale or Razorback or Common Rorqual, is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales. It is the second largest whale and the second largest living animal after the Blue Whale, growing to nearly 27 meters (88 ft) long.
Long and slender, the Fin Whale's body is brownish-grey with a paler underside. There are at least two distinct subspecies: the Northern Fin Whale of the North Atlantic, and the larger Antarctic Fin Whale of the Southern Ocean. It is found in all the world's major oceans, from polar to tropical waters. It is absent only from waters close to the ice pack at both the north and south poles and relatively small areas of water away from the open ocean. The highest population density occurs in temperate and cool waters. Its food consists of small schooling fish, squid and crustaceans including mysids and krill.
Like all other large whales, the Fin Whale was heavily hunted during the twentieth century and is an endangered species. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) has issued a moratorium on commercial hunting of this whale, although Iceland and Japan have announced intentions to resume hunting, the latter country stating it will kill a quota of 50 whales for the 2008 season. Collisions with ships and noise from human activity are also significant threats to the recovery of the species.

Balaenoptera physalus (Rorcual común) es un mamífero marino pertenciente al suborden de ballenas con barba ( Misticetos ), género Balaenoptera. Es la segunda ballena en tamaño, y también el segundo animal viviente, después de la Ballena azul.El rorcual común puede crecer hasta 26 m de longitud, y habita en todos los océanos del mundo. Es avistado usualmente en la Bahía de Vizcaya, en España. Fue el cetáceo más perseguido y cazado durante el s. XX.
El rorcual común es un pariente cercano de la ballena azul desde el punto de vista taxonómico. La divergencia en la evolución ocurrió entre 3 y 5 millones de años atrás. Son frecuentes los ejemplares híbridos entre ambas especies, contabilizándose un híbrido cada 1000 ejemplares aproximadamente.
El rorcual es el nadador más rápido entre las ballenas de su tamaño. Es común que alcance velocidades de 35 km/h, y se han registrado récords de más de 60 km/h, lo que le ha ganado el apodo de "galgo de los mares".

The Black Crowned Crane (Balearica pavonina) is a bird in the crane family Gruidae. It was once called also Kaffir Crane.
It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although in nests in somewhat wetter habitats. There are two subspecies: B. p. pavonina in the west and the more numerous B. p. ceciliae in east Africa.
This species and the closely related Grey Crowned Crane, B. regulorum, which prefers wetter habitats for foraging, are the only cranes that can nest in trees. This habit, amongst other things, is a reason why the relatively small Balearica cranes are believed to closely resemble the ancestral members of the Gruidae. It is about 1 m (3.3 ft) long, has a 1.87 m (6.2 ft) wingspan and weighs about 3.6 kg (8 lbs).
Like all cranes, the Black Crowned Crane eats grass, insects, reptiles, and small mammals. It is endangered, especially in the west, by habitat loss and degradation.

What a magnificent bird. The largest raptor in the world. The scientific name, Pithecophaga jefferyi, means Jefferey's monkey-eater. No joke. The bird stands about half a meter. It is threatened by illegal hunting and habitat destruction. I saw a few individuals at the Philppine Eagle center in Davao, Mindanao, which does a great job in the conservation and captive breeding of this animal.

The Fig Restaurant
Image by Mark Louis Benedict
Figs (Ficus sp. - Moraceae) are valuable keystone species in the rainforest. A mass fig flowering from just a single tree will attract various different wildlife species to it. Figs act as an important 'restaurant' for the animals and in return, the figs allow their seeds to be spread about and be germinated by these animals to other areas and stratas of the rainforest. The orang utans are one of the most likelier species to be seen during a fig flowering.

Mexican Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi )
Image by cliff1066™
Mexican wolves are the smallest subspecies of North American gray wolves. They are also the most endangered. Commonly referred to as "El lobo," the Mexican wolf is gray with light brown fur on its back. Its long legs and sleek body enable it to run fast. Mexican wolves once ranged from central Mexico to southwestern Texas, southern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. Today, the Mexican wolf has been reintroduced to the Apache National Forest in southeastern Arizona and may move into the adjacent Gila National Forest in western New Mexico as the population expands.

Lion (Panthera leo)
The lion is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with an endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru. The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of thirty to fifty percent over the past two decades in its African range. Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion

Richard is a volunteer with SVNWR and a big help with the hunts. While growing up near Ocala, Florida, he deer hunted extensively. But no big Florida buck ever came close to this massive animal, which is actually more closely related to Elk. Robt.

How crazy is this ?
Image by Alan Vernon.
A selfish and foolhardy photographer sits within the roped off area of the Elephant seal rookery, within a few feet of a nursing mother and several large males. Foolhardy - because she is endangering herself, and selfish - because it's acts like this that cause the State parks to close down un-patrolled areas such as this from respectful wildlife enthusiasts. As some bulls got really close, she made a very hasty retreat - but I was ready for a GREAT shot.

Sumatran Orangutans (Pongo abelii)
Image by warriorwoman531
The Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) is one of the two species of orangutans. Found only on the island of Sumatra, in Indonesia, it is rarer than the Bornean orangutan. The species has been assessed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2000. It is considered one of "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates." A survey in 2004 estimated that around 7,300 Sumatran orangutans still live in the wild.
