Hello! My parents said that in summer they will go whit me to any Europian country ( And close to europe) for a week to do what ever i want to, so the first thign that came in my mind was zoos, i like animals but the most i like reptiles insects and frogs, are there any zoos which there are a lot of thees? Thank you.
Any favorite zoo insectariums or insect collections? I love the Insectarium at the London zoo and the Cincinnati one is pretty decent.
Hello! I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for places to see tortoises & turtles in the U.S? I love tortoises and less aquatic turtles, but all turts are exciting to me! I live in upstate NY but am just looking for places to keep on my radar with some travel coming up. I generally am most interested in reptiles/amphibians, and turtles most of all! Would love any recommendations!!
Im wanting to start keeping a record of the species I see. Are there any cool apps for this? I could just do a spread sheet in google docs but Im looking for other options.
I will be visiting Japan . Can anyone recomend zoos with animals that are not viewable on the US east coast?
Hello! I am looking for zoos in the Eastern US that have the Victoria Crowned Pigeon! They are my favorite animals at my local zoo and I want to go explore a new zoo and see their babies as well! Picture added so you guys know what they look like!! Thank you in advanced!!
Hey all, Im a student studying animal behaviour and care and im doing a project regarding zoo ethics; more specifically im comparing zoos conservation efforts and educucational factors with traditional controversies of keeping certain species etc and I’m struggling to think of a relevant testable hypothesis
Can anyone help think of a question which can be answered to suit my project? I was thinking along the lines of something i could distribute surveys for. Thanks!
So, if you don't know, I'm attempting to compile a list of animals from every zoo in America and put them in one place.
I'm going state by state in alphabetical order, currently I have finished all the zoos in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona and I am currently halfway through California zoos.
I was wondering what everyone thinks about how the website looks and works right now, if I have every zoo in America (I keep learning about small zoos that I didn't know about so it would be helpful to know if I missed anymore). Plus, check if I have made any mistakes (Just keep an eye out there would be a lot to look through + I have already found a couple mistakes and I'm sure I'll be able to catch most of the rest).
I guarantee this won't be the last time I'll need it and if I need to clarify something just tell me and I'll explain it.
This is the site is in (It won't let me post here; I have no clue why).
Hello, I am formerly an employee from Utah's Hogle Zoo and the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium and now an undergrad student at UVU studying zoology. I've been following online that the Red Cliffs Reserve and surrounding areas in Southern Utah are at risk from urban development. While I'm not originally from Utah, I did conceive the idea of an accredited zoo in St George awhile back. It would take time but is a zoo featuring sections showcasing the three ecoregions that make up Greater Zion, as well as potentially having Australian and African Sections, be economically and maybe financially beneficial to Saint George?
It disappoints me that the DC pandas get all the hype. After 25 years Yang Yang (dad) and Lun Lun (mom) and their last cubs twins Ya Lun and Xi Lun left for China 10/12. The pair has had seven cubs, including two sets of twins. The latest were born in fall 2016. The zoo didn’t announce details of their departure, only that they would be leaving “mid-October”. I was fortunate to see them 10/11, which turned out to be their very last day on exhibit.
Pandas retuning to DC 10/15 got a lot of press, but will not be on display for over three months (target date is 1/24/25).
After years of absence pandas returned to San Diego zoo earlier this summer.
Cheers to Zoo Atlanta and their amazing panda program.
Hi everyone,
I am a scientist from Australia + a mum- I am looking for participants for some new research I am doing.
Are you the parent/caregiver of a child aged 2-12 years? If so, we kindly invite you to participate in our short online survey about sharks. We are interested in what children know about sharks, so this survey involves you completing a couple of questions about sharks, and then asking your children some questions about sharks. You will then be asked to write what your children say or what they do (e.g. if they use hand gestures).
LINK TO SURVEY:
https://research.unisa.edu.au/redcap/surveys/?s=XYPHMNMKFEJR7H4P
Please also feel free to send to any one you know who might be interested.
The survey takes approximately ten minutes per child to complete, if you have more than one child aged between 2-12 they can all participate.
This study has received ethics approval from the University of South Australia (#206267). If you have any queries, please contact the lead researcher: Brianna.lebusque@unisa.edu.au
