Malagasy Giant Chameleon (Furcifer oustaleti)

Malagasy Giant Chameleon (Furcifer oustaleti)_3

Chameleons can change their skin pattern. While often used for protective camouflage, this particular chameleon is illustrating a drought map to raise awareness about climate change.

Black Lemur (Eulemur macaco)

Black lemur just wishes everyone could get along.

And pie. Some pie would be nice too.

You can tell Autumn is on the way when the parrots start to change their colours.

Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)

Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)_26_v2

Another photo of the Sumatran rhino. There will several of these, as this is probably the only I will ever see in my life.


Rhinoceroses are territorial creatures. As I was taking photos, he chose to mark a tree several times. One time, when I suspect he was growing tired of the attention, he chose to mark me as well.


I mostly avoided the spray.


Still, it was worth it.
