Fishing Cats from Thailand

At last... found out more about Fishing Cats - they are real, and they even have webbed feet. It makes me wonder if this is the type of cat I wrote about in an earlier post - Cat Wrangling! Look though it for the pictures of the cat in the bath... The only problem is this is pictured in a home bathroom, and I think Fishing Cats tend to be in Zoos... but, I am still pleased to know there really are cats that do this!

Check out this video from Cincinnati Zoo of the Fishing Cats from Thailand...

You can read more about them at The Fishing Cat Research Web Page...

Thanks to Tammy from Vet Wisdom Cafe for the lead on these cats :)

Balanced diet: The amazing moment an elephant perched on tiptoes to grab food from a toddler visiting the zoo | Mail Online

Aren't they amazing creatures.. Love the dainty back leg stuck out for balance!

New Zealand is still reeling from the death of its popular elephant, Kashin, at Auckland Zoo. She had suffered ill health for some time and was euthanased, to the sadness for all the staff and the many thousands of people who had known here during her long reign. .
Hopefully a companion will soon be found for the remaining, sole elephant as they do love company.
Did you know all elephant keepers speak a special common language..a form that sounds like a mix of languages, but it lets the keepers travel the world and use the same commands.
