Zookeeper Gabe's Animal Thread V6.0

The Toronto Zoo just had 4 white lion cubs that are finally ready for public viewing. They're pretty awesome

And the zoo has also been experiencing a bit of a baby boom with a baby polar bear recently, and panda's as well

Video is pretty cool, showing the staff caring for the baby polar bear



And the white lions playing with their mom for the public today

I remember reading about a group of white lions from a place in Africa called Timbavati.

Its interesting though because I dont think their color is related to albinism.

Scientists in Italy have rediscovered a type of snake that the ancient Greeks used to hurl at their enemies to create panic and confusion during sea battles.

Biological Warfare ftw!

I can't imagine a sand boa being that scary at all. They are small and completely harmless.

Our zoo here in Toronto keeps posting vids every few weeks for the public to see how all the newborns are coming along. Damn cute as hell. Not much going on in the vids except cuteness.

Here's the Giant panda cub at 8 and 12 weeks old

The white lion cubs at 8 weeks old

And the polar bear cub at 6 weeks old. Vid says the bear is "trilling" which is the sound of a content bear



And feeding

My friend just took a job at Columbus zoo and she's helping raise their polar bear cub. Pretty jealous.

I saw The Thing, did you?


In all seriousness I'm shocked it made it that far in life. But probably a good thing it got

The trick was pretend that are vipers

“In general they used vipers that had had their venom removed. Alternatively they would use similar species, like the sand boa.”

Never heard that, they are known for stealing things. But they are usually looking for food.

I don't think the story has ever really been verified, it's been floating on the net since 2005, often mutating (many of the details including location). The one video that exists is of a trained monkey.

Yes, of COURSE it's Australia

An Australian man reported discovering this reptilian intruder on the side of his house recently. Hanging onto a brick wall was a large Lace Monitor, also known as a Lace Goanna. The giant lizard was photographed by a New South Whales resident named Eric Holland.
