Cali, the zoo:
Some of the numerous creatures seen in the superb zoo of Cali where more than 80% of the species are from Colombia. Thanks to Cali Zoo Foundation, the zoo offers comfortable and spacious places to the animals and especially the big cats. It also started a complete medical collection of each animal's records which have allowed it to have accurate and organized information in order to offer a better quality of life for all animals. And thanks to the zoo, we found the name of the fish caught by Lee in Mancora! You remember, Lee, very happy, caught a puffy fish which was not too happy. Well his name is "Pez Globo" in spanish or "Globe fish" but the latin name is Sphoeroides Annulatus. Please check on Wikipedia for a picture!
- Well I could not write this post without adding a photo of a frog which according to my English friends is one of the characteristics French people (well they think that frogs are part of our everyday diet but I have never ate a frog of my life, sorry!!!). I am pleased by this picture taken through the window because of the bright colours. One of my best shots of the day...sorry I have forgotten the name of this frog...Kermitt perhaps?
- A bird from the vulture family...Pretty ugly no?
- This caiman was sleeping but even still it was frightening...look at these teeth!!!
- What a bizarre creature! This tapir was having a bath and was curious of the humans,
- A superb bird from the parrot family. There were so many species that we have not kept the names of all and to be honest I am a poor bird expert but I am trying to improve my knowledge!
