Animals were treated to creepy carved creations in pumpkins to celebrate the spookiest day of the year. For Asim the Sumatran tiger, keepers filled a pumpkin with meaty snacks and even added tiger stripes to match. Elsewhere, the Zoo’s Asian short-clawed otters, meerkats and other residents enjoyed the Halloween action too foraging for their favourite foods in amongst the creepy carvings.
Zookeepers at Cester Zoo are celebrating the birth of a rare baby rhino. The female calf was safely delivered by new mum ema Elsa, following a 15-month-long pregnancy. Conservationists at the zoo say the arrival of the calf – an eastern black rhino - will be ‘celebrated globally', as fewer than 1,000 now remain on the planet.
A stunning elephant conservation project has been created in Thailand. Elephant World is a governmental project in Surin which includes a village for the ethnic Kui, a museum, a field for growing elephant food, as well as initiatives to restore the devastated forest. After decades of wandering the streets of tourist towns begging for food and money or working in unethical elephant camps, Elephant World should provide a source of stable income for the Kui and their elephants through monthly salary. Boonserm Premthada, principle and architect of Bangkok Project studio, says: “Within elephant world, there are various buildings and Bangkok Project studio was responsible for three buildings in total, the elephant museum, the observation tower, and the cultural courtyard.”
