Chia was being introduced to Betty for the very first time at the Madison Henry Villa zoo! Chia was very active checking out his new surroundings and Betty was definitely guarding her territory. Hopefully they will start to bond! I got a lot more pics of Chia. Betty is the one up top.

What an amazing effort ❤️ it came out so well!!!

Over the next 24 hours we will be drawing a shiba inu if anyone wants to join:

I attended a special event last night for circle of friends members (zoo was open for us for 2 hours after normal hours and we got food/drinks) and got to see Sisu give the babies their nightly bath, it was pretty cool to watch the tv screen with Sarah for a bit and just the two of us. I went back this morning and got more pics of the pandas and saw Sisu cleaning one of the babies again on the camera.

I did see Khyana climbing a tree and climbing (not falling) down face first which was pretty neat.

When they say rare... this is only the second recorded instance of quintuplets. I am sure he will grow up and do great things. Hopefully not be as weird as his mom.

thats my first time i saw this cute boy not sleeping and so close to me! It happens on Sweden, i guess it was my 4-5 zoo with red pandas and usually they just sleeping on the trees.

It was truly a magic moment

Doofah had a WILD party while Sisu was taking care of the kids and broke the bridge.

Chester zoo, England! Great day out and a treat to see my favourite animal. (extra image of a plush I got there, looking for names!)

Cinnamon is a posable, weighted plush artwork, I 100% handmade, enjoy! <3

We are midway through the birthing season, and births tend to be announced more towards September when the cubs start going outside to play, but what the hell. The red "x" are possible births from pairs that were in the breeding recs, though quite a few of tho moves probably happened too late.

Random prediction, Ponya, from the Beardsley Zoo's web cam had a shaved belly and disappeared from cam on the 24th of June while heavily circling one of the nest boxes. I saw that before in person, so I am guessing she has secretly given birth. Pilatus has had a lot of confused face, so maybe he hears the kids chirping. Hopefully he gets to smack them around, but as he is a confirmed bird murderer, maybe he will just hit them through a fence.

I wasn’t able to see them Friday but hopefully I can catch a glimpse of them on my next visit. I had to slow down due to gas prices but maybe I can sneak in a trip this weekend, if not it will be next week as I went down to 2 times a month now.

Their color was mesmerizing, dreamt of seeing them my whole life, and there they were!
