Humans: -sees the recurring evil of categorizing everyone into the superior Us group vs. the inferior Them group and how it constantly causes a cycle of vengeance and suffering- Humans: Ah, but you see, I would not fall into that trap because I am part of the superior Us group, and not part of that filthy, inferior Them group.

Chinese hanfu photoshoot by 阿卫也叫猪小卫, recreating a 泥人张/Niren Zhang figure.

泥人张/Niren Zhang (Clay Figure Zhang) is a famous folk art from Tianjin, China that originated during the Qing dynasty. The images of Niren Zhang vary from palace maids in costume, historic figures, religious figures, and modern figures to local customs. 

The hanfu was hand-made by 王大喵有鱼, recreating the outfit worn by the Niren Zhang figure. It consists of a white shan (upper garment), pink qun (skirt), black banbi (half-sleeve jacket), white and red/black double-layer yaoqun/weichang (overskirt), blue bixi (decorative fabric), and red laozi (knotted ribbon decorations tied to the waist). Model: 元年.

It’s time for the puffling playoffs! 🐣

This summer we welcomed two hatchlings to our tufted puffin colony. Our aviculturists chose the name Nori, like the type of seaweed used in sushi, for the older puffling. 

Now it’s time for some friendly feathered competition: a head-to-head ‘bracket’ poll to name the youngest chick! Will it be…

💙Yali 💙Aster 💙Alca 💙Miki 💙Squash 💙Sprout

Vote for your favorite name now!

We’ll be counting the votes and narrowing down the names as the week goes on, so keep an eye on our socials to find out when the next round begins. 👀 May the best name win!

Sharp-eyed seabird spotters may have already noticed Nori, pictured above, in the puffin tunnel as she begins to venture out of her burrow. You may be lucky enough to spot her on exhibit with our other diving birds just past the Open Sea!
