What idiot compromises a big cat enclosure?!

That person needs euthanizing not the cat (OK punishing) I hope there is cctv to identify them

The information from the zoo did not specifically state whether the roof had been compromised by a human, or because of a flaw in the design, or by a tree limb having fallen on the roof or by Valerio himself.
But you raise an interesting question. I’ll see if I can find out more...

Yesterday, my daughter played 6 games this weekend and made it to the finals!! We lost 0-1 in the last 20 seconds[emoji22].
I would have rather gone to PK’s.
But we are so happy for them! This never happens to us!!

Ooh. Congratulations to the finalists. It's always disappointing to be runner up, but maybe next time

Are you by any chance a Turtle in secret Sabine? Wait that must mean that Mark is a secret turtle too, as he loves water as well.

Maybe I had been a turtle in a previous life. Who knows. I love to swim in lakes. I do it every summer but this summer with the bad sores on my leg I can`t. I fear that I could get some nasty bacterias in the wounds.

• About 5 hours of paddling...plus a few breaks and lunch and swim time.

Ah, swim time as well. Sounds good to me.
Is it exhausting paddling 5 hours ? But you are well trained.

And just for fun and because I can.

Maybe this is what the Woolspider looks like (if she exists)

And because I live close to the sea and one of the reasons I don't go into it:

And until later I will leave you with this cute little guy. Looks like a water alien in my opinion:

Some amazing animals but some pics are photoshopped me thinks.

The deer got our Yellow Banana Peppers and SOME of the Jalapeno pepper blossoms, but not all.

Just picked from the ones that survived!

 

[Bee62]

I think I would like to spend some time in the drunken penguin and I hope the wool spider visits me because .. hey, we all need some new underwear every now n then [emoji23][emoji23]

Glad to meet all of you!

Oh, but I hate woolen underwear. To hot in summer and much to itchy !

Yummy !
I would build an electric fence around my property to keep deers out.

I looked into the jaguar escape story a little more, but all I could find was “the zoo has not indicated the cause or extent of the damage to the roof of the jaguars’ enclosure.”

It WOULD be interesting to know.

No please don't go swimming with your sores. How are they doing. Is the medicine helping.

Maybe. But they still look cool.

Oh dear

You are not being unfair. These facilities don’t have to be licensed and are set up by well-meaning people with little proper knowledge.

You are quite right not to entrust them with Lola.

My friend runs a guinea pig rescue that is part of an informal network around the country. She has visited some of the others and, while many are OK, is appalled by some of the others.

It was the lack of water in many enclosures on such a hot day, which is basic care, that concerned me too. I know torts often tip their water but one of the helpers/staff should have been going around refilling them rather than leaving dry trays. Those that had some water certainly didn't have it deep enough to drink from and there was often only one small tray between 8 or more torts.
You would think that on an Open day they would want to showcase their facility and they have had many positive comments on their FB page but I think anyone who has researched and followed the care guides here would feel the same as me.

Do you get upset that they keep on eating your plants?

Maybe we could teach her how to spin silk?

Ooh. You break up early. Schools here break up on the 24th!

Our end date was the 24th but we have done twilight sessions through the year to earn 2 days so that we could finish on Friday rather than next Tuesday.
My nephew's school in Lincs finished last Friday.
