Help! My hyena keeps fighting w/ the neighbor's baboon!

Our elephant at the Anchorage Zoo is a big attraction as well as a national debate as she is alone and elephants are pack/family animals.

To my knowelege no circus has ever visited Alaska.

I do rmember when the "Lipizon"(SP) Stallions visited my area of NC. We went nuts to try and get one of the Stallions boarded at the farm I worked on. We lost out on hosting for what ever reason or other.

There are Zoos and then there are zoos.!!! Ours is A+ ....all natural open habitat . The elephant grounds have rocks, pools , grasses etc. They just birthed their latest baby , Now up to a pack of 12 and area has room for 17 . They definately are a pack and it's so much fun to see all of them make over a new arrival !!! She should be out with them all briefly in about a week . Can't wait to see her and her first outside experiences !! They are soooo cute with their encounter with the water !!

Good work, Jess!

Did anyone find the original of the second photo? (I haven't read through the rest of the thread yet . . . I just caught this as I had to leave last night.) The story about the Hyena people is interesting . . . gotta find out more about them.

Anyway . . . to paraphrase from Robert W. Service's The Cremation of Sam McGee . . . (http://www.robertwservice.com/modules/library/article.php?articleid=30)

There are strange things done in the Afrikan sun
By the men who would magic mold.
The desert trails have their secret tales
That will make your blood run cold;
The blazing glare has stopped to stare
At the wild things stalking the streets
The hyenas prowl and the baboons howl
At the Beast who walks on two feet.

I read a fascinating book, written by a man who travelled to Africa and became immersed in the African world of spirits and wizards and Shamans. It was a treatise on non-violence. I'll have to find the title and author - it's at the house somewhere. It is definitely a completely different world . . .

Definitely, PuppyLover. IMO all animals deserve protection from cruelty. Including dogs, including cats, including monkeys, and including hyenas.

exacly, thats why i hate animal testing, whats the point of tourturing a thousand animal to save a few humans lives, people do care for each over but these animals are tortured for few reasons, it does make me cry. i now someone whos dad works in an animal testing lab, she said her dad cuts open rats then puts cream on them to heal them, it makes me sick. i also found out that if they had tested antibiotics on guniea pigs it would have killed them so we wouldnt have them, it makes me so sad
