The detailed photos and story help us understand the care, nurturing, and habitat efforts in action. Thanks for sharing this insight!

Will surely check back for more insight.

Thanks for your note. Here is a link to some information on bat houses from WCS Canada.

Thanks for reaching out.

We have sent your information to Animal Behavior and Conservation Connections.

Thank you

We would welcome you! Olivia and Igor are both stars at the Aquarium.

Thanks for the nice comment.

Reading Owls of the Eastern Ice BRAVO !

Thankyou

Barry Starr and family

Thanks for letting us know. Happy eagle watching.

The article mentions the importance of seed dispersal, pollination, and pest control for ecosystem function. I’m curious to know if the Wildlife Conservation Society is involved in any specific projects in the Miombo woodlands that aim to conserve these vital ecological processes.

For instance, are there any initiatives to protect seed-dispersing animals or pollinators like bats and birds?

Creating a culture of trust and respect is paramount for fostering a safe and supportive atmosphere where all individuals can thrive professionally and personally. By acknowledging and actively working to address issues like sexual harassment and assault, we can ensure that Antarctica remains a place where everyone, regardless of gender or background, can contribute to the vital research and conservation efforts aimed at protecting this unique landscape and its inhabitants. Here’s to honoring the resilience and contributions of women in Antarctic exploration while striving for a more inclusive and equitable future. If you’re inspired to explore more landscapes, consider visiting Wahiba Sands for a truly unforgettable experience. Visit Wahiba Sands.

Thanks for your note. We will forward your information to Tim.

Can someone provide me with an email address for TIM LEWTHWAITE?

Thanks

Not a comment,I am just asking a post in Portuguese

I wish I could help, I am very wildlife educated. I would like to know if I can purchase, eggs chicks, pullets, to raise? I have only seen on line, once, eggs were expensive, not garenteed. 6 eggs were about $ 150.00 each egg. I enjoyed your article, keep me posted.

Thanks for your note. We checked with the Pojoaque team. They have not reopened for public tours yet. They are hoping soon.

Your Dad and I laughed out loud!

What really struck us though, was observing how adeptly one of your associates assisted a frail and feeble patron. We watched her interact and were heartened because your associate went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure she provided the absolute best service to her customer. It was clear that the customer relished the personal attention that you taught your associate to give. The associate had no idea that she was helping a woman who had been given less than six months to live. She had no inkling that she was interacting with her boss’s beloved Aunt Bernardette.

Your Dad and I almost cried!

Jessica, you are blessed with a unique gift; a natural gift that we can attest—you were born with. Before you were able to walk, you taught us early on that it was in our best interest to pay attention when you spoke. You kept your lips contemplatively pursed and you did not speak much; you never showed much interest in loud crying or out-of-control screaming, but when you spoke…we listened.
When your dad and I heard your high-pitched, squeaky voice announce, “I uk” (I’m up), we knew we had mere seconds to spring out of bed and reach you before you attempted to climb out of your crib. We literally fell over each other trying to get to you in time. We threw open the door and stumbled into your room to find that you had already thrown one leg over the crib railing. When you stated, “I wet” we knew we had to rush in before your soiled diaper could be heard hitting your bedroom wall. You calmly made your wishes known and if we didn’t heed your words, we were faced with the consequences.
Of course, as an adult, you’ve applied patience, along with other attributes from your toolbox, and this winning blueprint is recognized and appreciated by all of your employees and employers. This explains unequivocally how, year after year, you are able to turn whatever motley crew you inherit or are assigned to by human resources, into a team of super shining stars. If this happened once, we’d consider it a fluke; twice—a coincidence, but after more than a decade of producing the best teams, this is a pattern—a strategic model that should be emulated by others. What you are able to accomplish is not easy for most people in leadership positions. Your colleagues would benefit from your innate understanding of how to achieve excellence from any employee. There is a distinct formula that you have obviously mastered. Bottle it!
We have told you numerous times that we so admire your quiet strength; it is deafening and a joy to observe!
Love,
Mom and Dad

We are diligent down to the lowest common denominator.
We are deliberate in everything we say and do.
We are aware – like an eagle.
We are always on.

I salute you!!

I’m interested in viewing your wildlife photos. Of particular interest at the moment is an image (that I believe you took) of a mallard drake landing—the duck is flying/gliding directly toward the camera lens.

I can be reached at dennisa@mymts.net or by cell phone 204-651-2401.

We live in Gimli but are now wintering in Tucson, AZ.

If you don’t mind, can I have your phone number?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks,

I wanted to find out if you have any photo books or ways for me to purchase individual photos to create a photo book of the Bronx Zoo.

There are two people that I would like to have such scenes to remember. One is Carol Laurenzano of the New York Yankees. She has fond memories of visiting the Zoo when she was a little girl. My wife and I have been to Yankee Stadium a number of times and she always takes care of our needs.

My wife Gladys was able to visit the Bronx Zoo before the COVID-19 pandemic and loves watching the program “The Zoo” on Animal Planet. She has multiple sclerosis and uses a motorized wheelchair.

I am sure both Carol and my wife would appreciate having photos to look at to make them smile.

Thank you,

As an animal lover and believer in non human animal rights, i would like to know why the Bronx Zoo staff is resistant to releasing Happy, the elephant, to a sanctuary such as The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. She has lived alone for so many years without proper room to roam, what reason is there to continue to keep her in such tight confinement?
I do believe it would be a wonderful
thing for the Zoo to give her a chance to move freely and make friends. Granted, animals live longer in captivity but quality of life is important as well. Please give her a chance. Perhaps the Zoo could raise two elebabies on one acre for a period of time then move them to a sanctuary as well. With the great loss of wildlife to poaching in the wild, hosting animals in captivity is an important service Zoos provide. However, with large animal adults, they need land and others of their species. Please move Happy to an elephant sanctuary. Perhaps a live cam could be installed at the Zoo so visitors could observe her in her new surroundings while enjoying new baby elephants at the same time.

Thank you very much for reading my feature! You’re not a stranger to the emotions felt when discovering Snowy Owls in the wild, and are very talented at capturing them in action! It’s an uplifting feeling when you spot one, isn’t it?

I’m very appreciative of your inspirational and uplifting sentiment.
Fondly,
Stacy

Clearly you have captured the visceral nature of what it’s like to experience these birds. Stand up and give yourself a hand.

Keep your wings up young lady, the future is bright.

Thank you very much for reading my WCS Wild View blog. Searching for wildlife is challenging and very rewarding. One never knows what will be observed, and often what is seen is different from what was anticipated. I’m very grateful for thoughtful comments and am so glad you were able to feel as I felt at the beach, with a Snowy Owl right before my eyes.
Sincerely,
Stacy

Awareness is key to help us to promote conservation, because people only protect and conserve what they know and understand. Once Jaques Cousteau said: “We only protect what we love, we only love what we understand, and we only understand what we are taught”

Best wishes!

I’m working on a film about the release of a Sumatran tiger back into the wild in Riau. I’d be keen to use some of your images. Could you please write me so we can discuss how that might be possible?

I’m with Jungle Run Productions in Bali and our company email is info@jungle-run.com and I can also be reached on WhatsApp at +62.8123.813.887.

Thank you!

Thanks for your note. I’ll pass along your note.

Thanks!

Your interest and information in Mshangao’s painting has been sent along to the appropriate people.

Thank you!

We are glad you care about bats, too. Be sure and read Dr. Olson’s other posts on bats. You can hear the male bat calls at https://blog.wcs.org/photo/2018/07/25/hammer-headed-bat-ambassador-congo-africa-shark-week/

Dr. Olson says that the leather gloves protect those handling the bats. Underneath, they are also wearing two pairs of protective gloves that are puncture resistant.

Thanks

My name is Ethan Ellenberg – I’m a long-time agent based in New York and I am interested in trying to re-publish “My Zoo Family.” Are you one of Helen’s heirs or would you be able to put me in touch with one of them? I think the book has wonderful potential to reach a new audience.

You can reach me at ethan AT ethanellenberg DOT com

Thanks for considering.

Here is a post on the Benefits of Bats that you might find interesting. https://blog.wcs.org/photo/2019/09/10/benefits-of-bats-hammer-headed-bat-africa/

For a book we are creating for children called Back from the Brink – saving the Grand Cayman blue iguana we would really like to use some of your wonderful descriptive in depth images. We will credit each photograph and pay a reproduction fee.
Please can you email me as soon as possible (we have a tight deadline) regarding this request plus any questions you might have.
Thank you for your help with our project.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your comments and great questions. You inspired us to find out more about some of the bat behaviors. We have a new post about some of them. Check out Wild View’s “Benefits of Bats” https://bit.ly/2maD6eb posted on September 10, 2019.

Thank you for the show! It helps me visit with the animals all the way in MA. You guys are amazing!

The monorail is part of the Bronx Zoo’s Wild Asia exhibit which opened in 1977 to educate visitors about Asian wildlife and their habitats.

Our favorite episodes involved all your big cats, especially your snow leopards, leopards, tigers and lions.

FYI, I was born in the Bronx in 10/11/1958, and as a young visual artist I would go to your Zoo in the 1970, very early 80’s I live with my wife Marlene 12/7/1946 from Ellenville NY, We’ve been married since 4/20/1991 in and outside of Kingston NY. One of our favorite shows to watch is “Zoo”, my favorite old zoo.
