At the blog of lovely Rostrose rust I have read about white tigers and decided to visit the zoo too. Today it was the time. My husband is on vacation and the White Zoo is not so far away. My photos are not that great as of Rostrose, so maybe you click over to her. In April, one of the two female tiger became quintuples and we could see and admire them all in the outdoor preserve today. But I get only four on the photo. In the photo below right you can see Daddy Tiger with the other female. All visitors were totally delighted. White tigers are not albinos (who would otherwise have red eyes), but tiger with a genetic defect and they have bright blue eyes. In nature they would starve to death because they can not disguise due to their fur and their prey would always be warned.
Und auch bei den Schneeleoparden gab es Zwillingsnachwuchs. Der Zoo-Inhaber Herr Eder zeigt uns eines der Babies außerhalb des Geheges. Links oben auf dem Bild sieht man die Mama mit den Babies in der Kinderstube und links unten den Papa Schneeleopard im Nachbargehege. Im Zoo sieht man auch noch Servale, Chinesische Leoparden, Nasenbären, Kamele, Affen, Schneeeulen, Schneeziegen, Steinböcke und kleine Känguruhs. Das erste Mal habe ich gesehen wie ein Baby aus dem Bauchbeutel rausschaut. Sowas von süß! Leider habe ich das Foto verwackelt.
The snow leopard got twins. The zoo owner Mr. Eder shows us one of the babies outside of the enclosure. Top left of the picture you can see the mom with the babies in the nursery and lower left Daddy Snow Leopard in the neighboring enclosure. In the zoo you can also see servals, China leopards, nose bears, camels, monkeys, snow owls, mountain goats, ibex and small kangaroos. The first time I've seen a baby kangaroo looking out from the stomach pouch. Kind of cute! Unfortunately the picture I made was blurred.
Wie man vielleicht erkennen kann, ist der kleine Zoo in den Hang hinein gebaut. Uns gefiel auch noch gut der Aussichtsturm mit einem wunderschönen Ausblick über das Tal und der nette Rundwanderweg rund um das Gelände. Ein toller Ausflug!
As you can probably see, the little zoo is built into the hillside. We liked also the great lookout tower with a beautiful view over the valley and the nice circular walk around the grounds. A great trip!
Guten Morgen liebe Petra,
ReplyDeletedie Kleinen sind ja zu schön, aber ich mag sie überhaupt, die Tiger ;O)
Ich wünsch Dir einen guten Wochenstart!
♥ Allerliebste Grüße, Claudia ♥
The white tigers are so beautiful! I love the fur pattern of the snow leopards. So cool. The zoo location looks so beautiful going up the hill.
