These tiny tara iti chicks have learnt to self-feed! 🐤
Essential learning for life in the wild, these tara iti (New Zealand fairy tern) have been learning to fish for their own food from these water-filled trays set up by bird keepers.
These chicks range in age from 16 - 18 days old. At the Zoo, these chicks eat up to 135% of their body weight over 7-9 feeds per day, depending on their age.

Endangered Pygmy Slow Loris Born at the Bronx Zoo in N.Y.
There's a new paper in PNAS [1] (paywalled) showing that zoo populations of mammals in North America and Europe are getting older because zoos will not do what is needed to maintain species sustainably.
Which is by no means a new problem, though it is good to have data. [2]

Economists estimate the absence of pandas could cost the area ¥15 billion a year — a reminder that pandas are serious business. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/23/japan/society/japan-china-panda-diplomacy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #chinajapanrelations #china #pandas #ueno #tokyo #animals #zoos #uenozoo

Auch wenn sich aktuell nur sechs Personen in der Gruppe befinden, konnte ich das nicht unkommentiert lassen:
Auch auf die Gefahr hin, mich unbeliebt zu machen und blockiert zu werden:
Ich finde es erstaunlich und traurig, zu welcher Doppelmoral der Mensch immer wieder fähig ist.
Ich mag Tiere und möchte sie daher für mein Vergnügen weder eingesperrt noch anderweitig ausgenutzt wissen.
