Welcome to the zoo : The pictures - New pics 23 january 2021

I can't stop looking !!!
They look almost like little Pitbull-foxes
Amazing that one of their nearest relatives is the long-legged maned wolf  

I would not want to get my nose too close to them

Wonderful pictures and creatures!

Thank you Susanne and Rogério

Exactly Susanne

And now the Iberian wolves

I have never seen Iberian wolves before

They are SO beautyful ! Those wise eyes ! The colours ! The athletic paws ! SO elegant !

Thankyou again, dear Christophe

Come on, Joan ! You must make a wolf from your country

Oh, wonderful portrait and other pictures of the wolves of my country!
Miguel's username is dedicated to that particular subspecies. The smaller of all wolf subspecies, I guess.
Yes, this wolf is more delicate looking than what we are used, there are some programs in Portugal and Spain to its preservation once their numbers decreased drastically. :)

These wolves are gorgeous!
The last photo, the wolf isn't so sure why a Macaque is taking photos of him

Gorgeous photos of absolutely gorgeous animals. Thanks for sharing your stunning photos.

They are so beautiful. They have, as susanne mention already, very wonderful wise eyes  
The photos really do them justice

Thank you for your comments After a long long sleep, it's time for an update.

A few more mammals?

My jaw dropped at the sight of that black jaguar!
Never have I see such clear spots on a black jaguar before What a BEAUTY!

Of course the other photos are great too
Those maras have a good chill time and those baboons reminded me of a certain Lion King scene
"I don't want a bath..."

This jaguar was a very discreet resident, I was very happy to catch this pic

I didn't think about the lion king scene the last pic looked more like a Renaissance picture for me.

Wonderful pictures as usual Christophe! I agree, last picture seems a Renaissance painting. I can identify Madonna, Jesus but the contemplating one is too grown up to be John the Baptist.... and the other? Wonderful animals too!

Nice pics again :)

Christophe, how can you do this to me ? I don't have time to look at these photos for HOURS
Each picture holds so much charm, - and the quality is professional, - do I need to add "of course" ?

@Roger: Madonna? So the others might be Mickael and Prince

@Andreas: Thank you

@Susanne: The good thing is you can come back anytime you want Thank you very much for the "of course"

SO many unusual, strange looking, beautyful birds

Those curassows ! They look like something that Simen Johan could have made

I know I repeat myself, but...Christophe, your pictures are out of this world
