composed of two partner websites a tumblr blog that does informal education and encourages community discourse and this website for hosting in depth articles on animal related topics recent publications legislation breakdown h r 1380 the big cat public safety act h r 1380 big cat public safety act is a proposed bill that hopes to enhance protections for captive big cats within the united states by banning cub petting and private pet ownership however the impact of h r 1380 will have far broader repercussions for all big cats in the united states than these characterizations would suggest fact or fiction examining current knowledge about the captive big cat crisis general information regarding the captive big cat crisis in the united states appears not to have been updated in almost two decades much of what is reported portrays the crisis as still being as dire as at the end of the 1990s updating our understanding of current captive big cat populations within the country is crucial to informing accurate and effective advocacy and legislation featured work how many zoos are there in the united states there are fewer zoos than you would expect in the united states as of august 2017 there were only approximately 500 zoological facilities in the country are there more tigers in texas and florida than in the wild a close examination of the data regarding captive tiger populations in the united states suggests it is highly unlikely pet tiger populations are as large as commonly thought big cat safety incidents 2000 2018 any time a dangerous wild animal is kept in a captive setting there is an associated safety risk studying historical statistics and trends related to keeping big cats in human care can inform future risk management decisions do killer whales really live to be 100 for a long time researchers did agree that granny j 2 was probably around 100 years old they estimated her birth year as being 1911 and that s still the commonly accepted date that s listed on most online field id s it s only the most recent research that points towards j 2 being 80 90 years old who are the usda class c exhibitors the group of entities in the united states that hold united states department of agriculture usda animal exhibition licenses class c are a highly diverse group of individuals and businesses understanding the different types of entities involved is necessary for anyone involved in the legislative or regulatory aspects of animal exhibition elephants don t have tear ducts so why are they always crying it s fairly common for people looking at elephants to notice that they have liquid seeping from the corners of their eyes some advocacy groups say elephants are crying because they re sad but scientists say that elephants don t have tear ducts if the latter is true where is that liquid coming from and why no results found tumblr stay updated email address sign up all animals never spam thank you rachel garner rachel is an educator and animal science writer with prior professional experience in zookeeping visitor education shelter behavior management and more she works to translate pertinent field specific knowledge into comprehensive explanations about current animal related topics why animals do the thing is on instagram a grizzly bear at the chahinkapazoo pauses after a swim to see if anyone interesting is at the viewing window while the exhibit fencing in the background is not the most aesthetically pleasing it s actually an incredibly practical and acceptable choice it s sturdy enough to safely contain strong animals has a lean in at the top to prevent agile bears from being able to climb out and is constructed in a way that allows snow to drift through it when a facility deals with north dakota winters that last is an important design feature snow piling up too high inside a solid fence might make it possible for animals to escape and snow plus gusting wind might compromise the integrity of a more impermeable fence so while a glass window all the way around like you see in zoos at lower latitudes might look prettier to guests and feel less like a cage this exhibit construction is actually a better choice in this specific situation for both animal and human safety bears grizzlybear zoos zooexhibit understandingzoos exhibitdesign chahinkapazoo contact wadtt powered by
