❛ what are you smiling at? ❜

Gilbert wasn't only smiling at his smartphone. He was positively snickering. His eyes were nearly watering from how amused he was.

"Oh, it's this-- pffffft, it's this picture, look," he said, gesturing Roderich over to show him. "It's a-- it's a groundhog."

"Look at it, just sitting there, looking bothered!" Gilbert could only hold the laughter for a few more seconds. "It... it reminds me of you! BAHAHAHAHA!"

God I hope that environmentalists, conservationists, zookeepers, etc. can figure out a way to unionize. I have no clue how a strike would work bc that would lead to our life's work being destroyed. If we stopped protecting these animals, ecosystems, etc. they would die. But it's horrible that getting a paid job is so freaking difficult bc you have to volunteer first, many positions require at least a college degree, and then when you finally get the job you're paid squat. Zookeepers usually have at the very least a bachelor's, most have doctorates. And get paid bupkis. But if we try to fight for higher wages we are called selfish and we are taking already limited resources away from those who need it most. Accredited zoos have to make difficult decisions to protect endangered species all the time, such as the Copenhagen Zoo deciding to put down a genetically invaluable Giraffe in order to make space for others.

I was able to ask one of the previous directors of the national zoo, "what is being done to insure fair wages for zookeepers, and expand opportunities to those who do not have the resources to volunteer?" I think I surprised her, but she said they were having workgroups and meetings on that issue. I believe that the national zoo has recently opened internships specifically for those with little experience, especially people of color, so that they can get training that will help them break into the field. I think they are paid but I'm not sure.

I don't think it's selfish for us to want to be able to afford rent, food, maybe a vacation once in a while too. We need to take care of ourselves so we can take care of our earth the best we can.

An anonymous donor just gave Copenhagen Zoo the funds they needed to give their chimps an outdoor area and the plan is to open it up this fall!! I'm so excited and ngl I'm getting a little teary-eyed. I love these chimps so much, I can't wait for them to get outside

The females are Djema, Marti, Jenny, and Cindy. I can never tell the kids apart. Very disappointed that Yoran wasn't in the video, he's my favorite</3

The specimens in your video, are they killed to be preserved or do they die of natural causes before preservation?

As with all natural history collections, the vast majority of specimens in the Natural History Museum of Denmark (where I am the Curator of Herpetology) were euthanised to be preserved and kept in these libraries of biological knowledge, where they are curated and maintained for research purposes for centuries to come. We have one of the oldest collections in the world; some of our specimens are over 300 years old.

With amphibians in particular, we almost never find them dead in the wild, unless they've been run over by vehicles or have died of some disease in large masses, because their soft bodies decay extremely quickly. Even in captivity, a vertebrate that dies of 'natural' causes usually is almost always in a pretty grim condition either leading up to the death, or by the time it is found. These make for very bad specimens. With reptiles, you can do a little better, but not much. So, even though we have lots of animals from Copenhagen Zoo that died in captivity and put in the freezer soon afterwards, these are mostly in poor condition. Also, because they are not representative of wild animals (dietary and environmental differences), and lack information on their locality of origin, they are poor animals for research purposes, and mostly are avoided by researchers wanting to study e.g. natural variation in a species. However, they are still very valuable specimens, especially when they are the only specimens of a species that we have.

Apparently, today it's been ten years since Copenhagen Zoo traumatized 0 Danish children and 70% of international Twitter. Also: made some lions very happy.

#denmark #aka it's been a decade since marius the giraffe was put down and afterwards publicly dissected for the edification of many children #and then fed to lions #lions
