#Lincoln Park Zoo

My heart melted seeing the Lincoln Park zoo pride, the cubs are yearlings and already getting big, they grow up so fast😭. Lomelok just went through surgery yesterday to correct a slipped spinal disc. Plz send good vibes to Chicago! I think Lomelok is a testament to how excellent veterinary care is for zoo animals, in the wild he probably would’ve died before his first birthday as he started showing experiencing weakness in his hind legs and tired easily as a tiny cub. Just wanted to share.

According to the zoo yesterday, he's out of surgery and doing well!

"The update we’ve all been waiting for with bated breath. Last night, around midnight, Lomelok fully stood up on his own for the first time! This is a huge milestone for his recovery but is one of the first literal and figurative steps in his journey. Afterward, he took a long 5-hour nap as the care team observed from nearby via camera so he could rest undisturbed.

Lomelok is currently recovering in a small space that controls the level of his activity during these critical first 72 hours."

Aardvark (Orycteropus afer) by Heather Paul Via Flickr: Aardvarks are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of the rain forests of central Africa. This distinctive mammal can be identified by its large ears, long tail and prominent snout. The body is gray and lightly covered in hair. Aardvarks can reach up to 4 feet in length and weigh 120 pounds. Powerful diggers, aardvarks use thick nails to dig into termite and ant mounds in search of insects to eat. The species has a long, thin, sticky tongue, which it uses to gather its prey. They are nocturnal, foraging for food at night and resting during the day. Photographed at Lincoln Park Zoo

Some of the buddies I saw on the river walk by Lincoln Park Zoo. Red Winged Blackbirds, a turtle, and a very cool sight - a bluegill guarding a nesting spot!
