Chimp at Safari Park dies of cold
Babli spent her last
moments shivering in the intense cold, before drawing her last breath and
leaving Raju in a state of shock.
The six-year-old
chimpanzee, one of the star attractions at the Safari Park, died of pneumonia
on Sunday, in a case that should give rise to scathing questions over the
authorities’ apparent negligence.
It was learnt by The
News that the female chimpanzee had developed symptoms of a rare disease on
last Saturday and was being treated by senior veterinary, Dr Syed Kazim
Hussain, for severe swelling on one of her eyes.
However, the Karachi
Metropolitan Corporation’s (KMC) official version cited pneumonia as the cause
of death, while sources privy to the Safari Park management also said that
chimpanzee was left exposed to the winter chill and no measures were taken upon
the onset of winter.
Senior director of
the KMC’s Culture, Sports and Recreation department, Rehan Khan, confirmed that
Babli had expired due to pneumonia but denied any sort of official negligence
in the tragic incident.
“I recently visited
the Safari Park and found everything in complete order. Dr Peerzada, who is
senior veterinary consultant on the KMC panel, has performed Babli’s autopsy
and confirmed pneumonia as the cause,” he said.
“The senior
consultant has also preserved the chimpanzee’s organs for further examination
at the KMC veterinary lab. We hope to conduct further tests to ascertain and
reaffirm the exact cause of Babli’s death.”
Moreover, while Khan
stated that the chimpanzee pair was gifted to the KMC by a donor over a year
ago, the arrival of the pair at the park
also remains an
issue shrouded in mystery.
While the Safari
Park administration sticks to its donation claims, sources said that the
chimpanzees, which were of West African origin, were smuggled into the country.
They contended that a permit needs to be acquired for the legal import of
chimpanzees but, till date, no such permit has been issued in Pakistan.
The KMC management
paid Rs 2.9 million through a secret account for the chimpanzee pair. If proper
legal provisions had been applied on the import, Babli and Raju would have cost
over Rs 10 million, sources claimed.
Chimpanzees are
listed as an endangered species in the International Union for Conservation of
Nature’s (IUCN) Red List and are also included in Appendix 1 of the Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
Trading of the
species listed in the conventions is prohibited, except for cases where the
purpose is scientific research and education.
Perth Zoo orang-utan matriarch celebrates 61st
birthday
As New Year's Eve
celebrations approach Perth Zoo's second oldest resident Sumatran orang-utan,
Puan, is also celebrating. She turns 61 on Tuesday.
Believed to be one
of the oldest Sumatran oran-gutans in the world, Puan is a mother, grandmother
and great grandmother, and the matriarch of Perth Zoo's 12-strong orang-utan
colony.
However the title of
oldest Perth Zoo resident belongs to a Western Swamp Tortoise named
"C12" who is about a decade older than Puan.
Zoo favourites
Tricia the elephant, who is 56, and Simmo the crocodile, who is in his 50s, are
some of the next oldest residents.

Perth Zoo keeper Sam
Carson has worked closely with Puan for many years and enjoys her "old
lady" antics.
Puan will stamp her
foot when she gets impatient and knock on the night quarter door to gain access
to the den she sleeps
Tiger breeding to restart at zoo
t captive breeding
of tigers happened in the zoo in 2005 and two cubs were born then, of which one
was reportedly sent to the Darjeeling zoo.
"Zoos should
take up captive breeding programmes, but the idea is not to draw tourists only.
We have to keep in mind that the tigers that we have now will not live forever.
The generation should move on and this is where a zoo plays a crucial role,"
said Ghosh.
Cross breeding of
tigers and lions brought the zoo in the eye of storm earlier. A cross between a
Bengal tiger and an African lion, Rudrani - a 'tigon' born in 1970 - produced a
litter of seven 'litigon' cubs after mating with an Asiatic lion in 1976. One
of these 'litigons' were marketed by the zoo authorities as the largest living
big cat in the world. It died at the age of 15 in 1991. The zoo stopped its
hybrid programme in 1985, after there was criticism from the scientific
community which claimed that such hybrids suffer from 'genetic abnormalities'.
How do I become ... a panda keeper
In a highly
competitive industry, Michael Livingstone struck gold when his Edinburgh zoo
summer job became a full-time role
When Edinburgh zoo's
giant panda, Tian Tian, was thought to be expecting a cub, Michael
Livingstone's job took over his whole life. A keeper for carnivores and giant
pandas at the zoo, he was part of a core group of five who closely monitored
the pandas' behaviour. "We were watching them for seven weeks, 24 hours a
day. It was a lot of work. When you get to the breeding season, and then
watching for her to potentially give birth, everything else goes on hold,"
says Livingstone. "That is all you can think about – you don't really have
a life apart from pandas. Even outside work, with family friends, people are
always asking how they are getting on."
Livingstone, 25, got
a summer job at the zoo in his home city while he was studying animal biology
at Edinburgh University. After the summer he got a weekend job. "I was
very lucky," he says. "The job was only meant to be three months, then
I was lucky enough to get the weekend job. I was on part-time hours until the
pandas arrived and then I was made full-time – not necessarily to work with the
pandas, although that is what happened."
White-tailed deer jumps into cheetah enclosure at
National Zoo, killed by carnivorous big cats
Two cheetahs at the
Smithsonian's National Zoo came across unexpected prey and the result was
predictable.
Zoo officials say a
white-tailed deer was killed by the cheetahs after it apparently jumped into
their enclosure on Friday. A spokeswoman calls it "a normal and expected
reaction" by the carnivorous big cats.
The zoo says a
zookeeper heard noises from the cheetah pen shortly before noon and found the
deer carcass next the cheetah siblings, named Carmelita and Justin.
Doctors will examine
the carcass to ma
So, If A Deer Can Get Into The Cheetah Enclosure, Does
That Mean The Cheetahs Can Get Out?
Last week, the
National Zoo's cheetah siblings Carmelita and Justin got a post-Christmas treat
when a hapless deer hopped into their enclosure.
Zoo veterinarians
are examining the deer's carcass to make sure there was nothing wrong with the
unlucky animal (before it was eaten). Some other folks are examining a
different sort of issue raised by this incident. As a person going by the
username Suzanne L put it:
Third Honolulu Zoo director in 4 years resigns
Honolulu Zoo
Director Jeff Mahon has resigned after less than six months on the job, the
third zoo director to step down in four years.
On July 12, Honolulu
Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced the hiring of Jeff Mahon's appointment as zoo
director, a homecoming of sorts since Mahon earned his doctorate degree in
zoology at UH Manoa.
"I'm very
excited to be back here. It's an amazing facility and a lot of ideas. Obviously
you want to get the lay of the land before you do too many changes," Mahon
said at the time.
But on Friday, less
than six months after taking the job, Mahon told the zoo staff he was resigning
immediately, effective that day. He told
staff he was pursuing some job leads, which he did not specify, sources said.
Mahon sent a letter
to city Enterprise Services Director Gerald Saito the day after Christmas,
saying he was resigning for unspecified "personal reasons." Mahon was
not available for comment. Sources said he'd
turned in his city cell phone.
The city said he's
on leave until his last official day on January 11. He's paid between $89,724 and $149,364 a
year. Since he's a civil service
employee and not a political appointee, his salary range is public but not the
precise amount.
Mahon is the third
director to leave the Honolulu Zoo in the last four years. That concerns zoo
goers, like Dana Blechinger of Wahiawa who took her grandson and his friend to
the zoo Monday.
"That's
sad. And I wonder why. So I hope they find someone that has the
passion to go ahead and watch out for the animals," Blechinger said.
A city spokesman
declined an on-camera interview on behalf of city officials who oversee the zoo
and zoo officials themselves, saying the director's departure is a human
resources issue that they cannot comment on."
But privately, zoo
employees said Mahon was not a strong manager and had trouble making decisions
and they weren't surprised by his departure after only a few months on the job.
He also alienated
staff in his first few days by going und

Surabaya Zoo Gets it in the Neck again
Portrait of a lady: Al Ain Zoo’s gorilla ‘owner’
She is a 39-year-old
widow who loves watching Barney the dinosaur on TV and her best friend is a
long-eared rabbit.
Lady is a western
lowlands gorilla, a critically endangered species. She is Al Ain zoo’s oldest
inhabitant, having been brought to the UAE from Cameroon in 1978, when she was
just four years old.
“We consider her
like the owner of the zoo because you feel like she knows everyone here,” said
Muna Al Dhaheri. “We don’t know what’s in her mind. But I’m sure she’s knows
everyone.”
Lady has lived alone
since 1998, when her male companion, another gorilla named Maxi, died from
natural causes.
Zoo officials
thought about finding her another mate but decided she might not accept him
because of her advancing age.
To keep her occupied
she was given a TV and DVD player, and her favourite programme stars the purple
Tyrannosaurus Rex, Barney.
Last April
zookeepers thought Lady might be getting a bit lonely so found her another
friend – a tan-coloured, long-eared domestic rabbit.
It was hoped the new

Dai Nam Zoo’s elephant kills a mahout
Yesterday afternoon,
Mr. Doan Huu Tai, 28, a staff of the Dai Nam Tourist Area in Thu Dau Mot City,
Binh Duong Province entered the elephant cage to paint the iron fence to
welcome the New Year. Suddenly, a male elephant of two tons approached, used
its trunk to capture the man and threw him into a water tank.
Witnessing the
incident, another zoo staff ran to chase the elephant, pulled the victim out of
the cage and took him to the hospital, but Tai died.
Mr. Duong Thanh Phi,
Dai Nam zoo director said the elephant was a gift from the authorities of Dak
Lak Province to the zoo in 2008, when it was only two years old. It was named
Ka.
Phi said Tai was one
of the mahouts who had been taken care of the eleph
Paint smell may have caused elephant to attack trainer
An elephant at a
Vietnam zoo may have killed his longtime keeper because the animal was upset by
the smell of paint brought into the enclosure, experts say.
The trainer, Doan
Huu Tai, was about to begin painting the cage of the 9-year-old elephant, Ka,
Tuoi Tre News reported Wednesday.
Ka grabbed Tai with
his trunk, smashed him against the wall of the cage and threw him into a water
basin Monday, reports indicated. The zookeeper died later from a brain injury.
The 28-year-old
keeper had worked with the 2-ton elephant for at least seven years at the Dai
Nam Tourist Center in Thu Dau Mot City north of Ho Chi Minh City.
The smell of the
paint Tai brought into the cage may have irritated the animal and made it
angry, said Dr. Pham Viet Lam, director of the Saigon Zoological and Botanic
Gardens.
He said elephants
can be affected when confronted with unfamiliar factors such as color, sound or
smell.
Elephant trunks are
very sensitive to smell, said Dr. Vu Ngoc Thanh, a biology lecturer at Hanoi
National University. He said t

Snow leopard on the loose in Belgium shot
Authorities near the
Belgian city of Liege were forced to shoot and kill a snow leopard that escaped
a zoo Tuesday night. The news comes as a sad ending for the animal that arrived
from Austria only two weeks ago.
The leopard escaped
through a window Tuesday morning at the Monde Sauvage safari park around 10am,
spurring an intense search that included tracking dogs carried on throughout
the day until the early hours of Wednesday.
According to zoo
officials, the animal was finally found in a parking lot inside the park, but
security was left with no choice but to shoot.
Students in the area

Thiruvananthapuram zoo to add infrared eye to detect
diseases
The zoo authorities
here are planning to procure advanced multi-purpose gadgets for detecting
diseases among its exhibits.
As part of this
plan, thermal imaging technology, which could detect slight variations in
body-temperature, is likely to be introduced here. Thermal cameras have been
extensively used in Singapore and Chinese airports during the SARS outbreak in
2002-2003, to find affected passengers.
The zoo here has
been in talks with a Coimbatore-based firm for inducting the thermal imaging
technology.
"The equipment
has to be customized to suit the specific needs of the zoo. We already have had
a trial run of the equipment, which has several advantages,'' a zoo official
said on condition of anonymity since he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Thermographic-or
infrared-cameras can detect radiation emitting from a body in the infrared
range. It then produces images of that radiation, called thermograms. Thermal
imaging can measure temperature without contact and is non-invasive. The image
produced by a thermal imaging camera is two-dimensional, with each point of the
image containing temperature data: cold temperatures are shown in dark colors
