I guess I should give Ike her own proper post. She’s my favorite animal to photograph at the LA Zoo. I could sit for hours and watch her preen, dig in the dirt for bugs, and just run around looking like the perfect little dinosaur that she is. She looks like a classical painting. I love this bird. She’s cooler than ALL OF US.

Things that apparently get me all emotional:

I’ve been a member of the Los Angeles Zoo for a little over a year now, and just renewed my membership a few months ago. This means that I get emails about the zoo’s conservation efforts, etc, and it always makes me emotional to see what good they’re doing and how hard they try.

Today, I got an email about their 20-year plan, and y’all? I’m in tears. I’m so happy. They’re focusing not just on animal welfare and conservation, but on accessibility. For the first time ever, the pedestrian walkway is going to be entirely ADA-compliant, and rather than build a parking structure which encourages more people to visit by car, they’re building a massive solar panel section and working on improved public transport to the park.

They’re improving habitats across the zoo, and for the first time in zoo history, they’re going to put the California condor on display, which is a massive deal, because LA Zoo helped (and continues with conservation efforts to this day) to bring them back from the brink of extinction.

They have a massive area of native oaks that they’ve decided to leave alone and use as research for local environmental changes and preservation of local flora and fauna.

They’re rebuild/improvements will better utilize their space to not only expand and improve the habitats of all their animals, but to help the public connect with these animals in natural areas. For example, there are plans for an improved hippo pool with an underwater viewing area.

I don’t talk very often about how concerned I am for the natural world, but it’s one of those things that quietly eats me up. I’m proud to be a member of the LA Zoo, which in turn is a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Their global conservation efforts are groundbreaking and award-winning.

I’m just really emotional right now, guys. Go visit your local zoo or take a walk somewhere natural, and be awed by the wild parts of our planet.

One of the world's largest tortoises but this guy featured here is one of the smaller of the bunch at this zoo. The male's carapace can reach four feet in length when full grown while females typically reach three feet in length.

Meerkat (suricata suricatta)

taken at the LA zoo in Los Angeles, California

status: least concern

A pair of the new Meerkat members at the zoo! They joined two of the adults up at a high point to look around for both potential predators and at those visiting the zoo. Meerkat pups are born underground in the safety of their group's burrows where they remain for the first few weeks of their lives.
