Hellos again. one more new post, many more new photos. Firstly,



Bharal babeh ^^ this adorably girl i think... is abt a few months old now. Walked past her one day and realised little fresh horns are already visible from her head >< i like little growing horns. very very much. Babeeehhh.

Sexy look such a young girl is giving *aww*

__________________________________________________________________________

And also, another familiar face. Recalling back to my Aug 14th post.

Nyala



Nothing special eh. What i wanna introduce this time. Is the female version of a Nyala. Above shown is a male. And below, is a female :



Ta-da! Surprise isnt it. Both sexes looked completely different. Always wondered how the hell the people know they are of the same species. Weird. But i love Nyala alot indeed. Look at the bushy bushy tail (below)



Strokie Bushy tail =)

_____________________________________________________________________________

And guys who had good memories out there. I also once mentioned that Nyala looked like Bongo. just that a Bongo is waaay bigger. Now, question is : What is a

Bongo



Bongo
Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus
Kingdom: Animalia
Class: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Genus: Tragelaphus
Gestation Period: 9 months.
Young per Birth: 1
Weaning: About 6 months.
Sexual Maturity: At about 20 months.
Life span: Up to 19 years.

Calves are left alone after birth, lying still in the undergrowth to avoid detection by predators. The mother returns to her calf to nurse throughout this period.

extremely shy, and, when startled, disappear very quickly into the surrounding forest.

Bongo is an African native name. Tragos (Greek) a he-goat;.elaphos (Greek) a deer; in combination referring to an antelope. Eurus (Greek) broad, widespread; keras (Greek) the horn of an animal.

Up, shown above is a mummeh and babeh Bongo. They have really really large ears. and bebeh ish so cute without the horn.

Good morning! Another kind creature to greet me in morning.


_____________________________________________________________________________

Just some random thought of the day.

Life's simply...

a cup of hot milo



a piece of pomelo



and a couple of raindrops



Satisfied =)

revealed

Opps. Almost forgot. Was asked if Capybara prefers tapioca to carrots and corns. Did a little experiment and da-ta. Am to reveal answer here (well, it may not be true actually. Only did one test. And i'm too lazy to do any more tests).

*drumrooooolllll*



Food placed (from left to right) : carrots / corn / sweet potato / tapioca. well well well, as its obviously shown here. Look at the paw. Paw paw paw. I asked her very politely what she likes, and she pointed :



Sweet Potaato

she refused to budge when im near. Hence, i apologise for lack of pictures as evidence. but when i returned 5mins later. All of sweet potatos were eaten up. And most of tapioca were gone too. Hence. Capy likes Sweet potato and tapioca BUT! prefers sweet sweet potaaato.

Ta-da! no more pondering. Answer is revealed. Well. Who cares what they prefer. As long as they remain furry ^^ Strokie.

to fear

alright. more peektures. more furries =)
coming first up! introduction of yet another new specie from Night safari.

Barking Deer





Barking Deer
Muntiacus muntjac
Kingdom: Animalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Genus: Muntiacus
Sexual maturity: within a year
Gestation: 7months
Usually 1-2 youngs are born
Often called Muntjac
40-62 cm at the shoulder
The males of Muntiacus muntjac have long tusk-like upper canines and only very small antlers on top of their long hairy bases (pedicels)
Colouration varies from deep brown to yellowish or greyish brown with creamy or whitish markings, almost white on belly

From a distance, their call sounds much like the bark of a dog. When alarmed they give out a series of short cackling barks. Because of this habit, the species is popularly known as barking deer.
__________________________________________________________________________

Was attached to another section once again. Happened to be lucky enough to get really up close with this pretty girl. Thus, am able to produce such beatiful shots. Had a quite enjoyable time at the section. Would definitely not mind to work there again. Till then, i miss you, ms Barking deery ^^
__________________________________________________________________________

Secondly, secondly. Let's see *shuffle shuffle*. Alright, yep. Here comes another new specie =)

Ant Eater



Will not elaborate much on this sleepy fellow here (who asks her to sleep and ignores me ><). But well, cute animal. Eats ants. Would be a nice choice to keep as a pet at home. Strokie ^^

Was walking around in my section when i, very luckily, manage to spot this little spidey. He was really small (smaller even then a thumb's print) and thus, had a little problem focusing my camera on him. But still ^^ Nice color combi, Spidey. Spin your web safely.

A birth of Giraffe FINALLY >< in Night Safari after a long long wait of many many years. Last birth sucessfully (if i'm not wrong) was in 1997. Woah. almost 10years of waiting and finally ^^ Here comes a healthy baby girl. She's officially named Kayin =)

A single calf is born, rarely twins, usually 6 ft tall and can stand up 20 minutes after birth.

Giraffes can go for over a month without drinking and do so often, perhaps because of the vulnerable position they must assume in order to drink.
