Hi, my animal lover friend. I think I do have a cheetahs feeding show video. I since you like them, I will post it on saturday over here. I hope you don't will like it.

 

Cheetahs feeding session, Video clips. Please take note, This event on daily at 1.45pm. Advice, please be early 5 mins before time. Hope all my animal lover friends will enjoy and love it.

 

Many zoochat members have suggested to add the proboscis monkey to the list. Would you be able to do so (@Singapore Zoo support) or is this an official (=given) poll?
Answer appreciated.

 

Also colugo.

 

Hi, Yes, I actually want to edit it, can you kindly share with me how to do it?

 

"Edit thread" at the top of the page. 10 poll options is the max, so you may have to delete one.

 

I can't find that function : ( Please help me

 

Hm. It might be too late. I didn't realize it, but it looks like the function goes away after an unknown period of time.

 

Oh No...: ( But thanks for your help my animal lover friend.

 

I don't know if there is any backstory to Ah Meng's 'fame', or whether they just promoted her as a celebrity animal, I think perhaps the latter. And I believe she was also their oldest orangutan for some time. Of course in Asia, more so than Europe, 'performing' animals are still fairly acceptable so promoting her as a tourist attraction would be fairly normal too.

Barcelona's Snowflake was quite unique in the zoo world of course. They knew they were going to have to euthanase him because of his skin cancer and advertised a last chance to see him in the months before he died. I think they also tried surreptiously to create a successor( i.e. another white gorilla) by keeping him with one of his daughters at one stage, though overcrowding or similar was cited as the reason at the time. No baby resulted though.

 

Never heard about the partial depigmentation- a lot of baby gorillas have some pink digits, which fade with age. Snowflake had many offspring but far less that survived to maturity. He also has grandchildren too.

 

Big big thanks, wonderful job. Now everyone of the animal lover can vote what they really like.

 

My animal lover friend, good new, now you can poll under Proboscis Monkey as I edited the listing. Hope to see you poll soon.

 

There's a memory wall dedicated to Ah Meng outside, appropriately enough, Ah Meng's Restaurant. I will have to look at my pictures for specifics, but there are a couple of pictures with Steve Irwin so she at least had regional fame. There might have been one with Mr. Lee as well.

Anyway, per the zoo, one of her grand daughters has been named (renamed?) Ah Meng because she looks/acts a lot like her forebear. It looks like the name will be going the way of Shamu soon.

 

Very correct. My animal lover friend.

 

Since there animal lover friends talking about Ah Meng. Then I will do Orangutan for my next video.

 

Orangutan session, Video clip. Please take note, This event on daily at 3.30pm. Advice, please be early 5 mins before time. Hope all my animal lover friends will enjoy and love it.
