Visit To New Mexico Wildlife Center - Great Horned Owl - Animal Ambassador Encounter With Wildlife Center Staff My friend Kevin and I went to visit the New Mexico Wildlife Center ( @new_mexico_wildlife_center ) in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico (near Española) Most of these photos were taken through the cage mesh. Ironically the close up come out better than wider shots. I did the best I could to share these amazing birds with you. #GreatHornedOwl #GreatHornedOwls #Owl #Owls #BirdsOfPrey #BirdOfPrey #OwlsOfInstagram #Birds #Bird #BirdPhotography #Birding #BirdingPhotography #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae #AnimalAmbassadors #WildlifeEncounter (at New Mexico Wildlife Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpq-VdNNn8p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Helping people connect with traditionally farmed animals is one of the most powerful ways to inspire compassion, healing, and altruism. Volunteer Rachael visited @blackberrycreek years several ago as a guest and is now one of our most committed weekly volunteers (along with her husband @airric6 ), caring for animals like Finn and promoting a vegan lifestyle that promotes kindness to all. The animals are the true advocates at sanctuaries; we simply exist to love them well and give them a platform to share their stories. #volunteersrock #animalambassadors #sanctuarylife #loveoneanother (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpB-3GDLuaf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Friends, one of the Arctic foxes I work with is currently in the ICU and undergoing emergency exploratory abdominal surgery. We have had an insane amount of veterinary bills this year and his alone is already passing $7k. Please help us spread our GoFundMe and if you are in Southern California you can help us out in other ways, like booking an interactive animal encounter or education program. Thank you for reading this and keeping Miki in your thoughts! #arcticfox #animalambassador #vet https://www.gofundme.com/help-the-animals-of-wild-wonders (at Wild Wonders) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhpDu4ArjGksBSpbHqw5bpS-_F9pGhSCQOa6Q0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jxncn2es34xr

Everyone seems to be enchanted by the penguins - especially when they get to meet them in person. But not everyone knows the challenges penguins face in the wild. For example did you know the African Penguin is an endangered species? It’s true! In less than 30 years their population has declined by 60 percent! And most of the things that are causing this are issues created by humans. The good news is, humans can help prevent the extinction of this species by changing some of our activities!

Dusty post bath. She likes baths more than the leash but it’s a work in progress. Dusty is a Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). • • • • #foxsquad #petfox #fox #foxes #foxesofinstagram #veteranowned #instafox #foxesworldwide #foxcub #fennecfox #foxlove #ilovemyfox #fennecfoxesofinstagram #grayfoxes #grayfoxesofinstagram #preservation #conservation #animalambassador #nonprofit #cute #wizardofpawswildlife #grayfox #Urocyon cinereoargenteus #exotic #exoticanimalsanctuary #foxspecies https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2XR6tAta-/?igshid=r339v1bbaidx

Went to an aquarium today (problematic I know but some of that was offset by their rehabilitation, ambassador, and environmental conservation programs) and honestly this was my favorite part...so serene 😍 so here's a full minute! #odyseaaquarium @odysea.aquarium #jellyfish #aquarium #animalrehabilitation #animalambassador #environmentalconservation #savetheanimals #savetheplanet #ecofriendly #serenity #peace #circularmotion #love #aretheyfish? #probably #calm #awesome #mesmerising #hypnotic #loveit

Cheeks, our sweet, blind, older hen is spending the weekend in the hospital at @medicalcenterforbirds as she wasn’t feeling well this week (seen in the second photo cooling off and relaxing in her water bowl before her appointment). Cheeks is a longtime resident of @blackberrycreek and has spent many years visiting classrooms, helping with tours, and teaching people how truly wonderful chickens are. She is super duper special, always “talking” to us when we talk to her and enjoying kisses and snuggles from humans. Her ultrasound and X-rays showed inflamed intestines but nothing conclusive yet as far as a diagnosis. She’s getting the very best care with Dr. Baden and Dr. Speer as they work to figure it out. We are so grateful for them. Please send her all of your love, and if you really want to help chickens, treat them as friends not food. This means leaving eggs out of your diet as well. As long as eggs are consumed by humans, chickens will be legally classified as “food animals” which means they cannot always receive life-saving medical treatment such as chemotherapy that is readily available to cats and dogs. Loving one another means being kind and making choices that cause the least harm to others. ♥️ #cheeks #chickensofinstagram #friendsnotfood #veterinarymedicine #chickensofig #vetmed #avianmedicine #avianvet #blackberrycreek #bekimd #veganforher #veganfortheanimals #bethechange #maketheconnection #farmsanctuary #rescuedandloved #animalambassador #chickensareawesome #sanctuarylife #xray #compassion #easteregger #chickenlover (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuMp3OpTaD/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of three binturongs we trained this week. Our behaviors included crate training and tail touching with a goal of potential blood draws, stationing on a stump for duration while keepers enter and exit an enclosure and for this gal hanging by her tail to demo the prehensile ability. This was the most challenging behavior and required some clever antecedent arrangement to make it likely she would consider letting go with her back legs. We were able to reinforce the release of one foot before the session ended. Off to a good start. #binturong #bearcat #indonesianmammals #indonesiananimals #animalambassador (at Bali Safari Park)

Here’s a fun #AnimalFact for #InternationalCheetahDay: The black lines that run from the corner of each eye to the corner of either side of the mouth are sometimes called tear marks or malar marks. The most popular hypothesis about why cheetahs have them involves when the cheetah hunts - day time. More often than not lions, leopards and hyenas will hunt at night and sleep during the day. Cheetahs would rather not have to fight with the bigger predators for food, so it makes sense to hunt during the day. But that means you have to deal with the bright sun. And clearly a hat or sunglasses are not going to stay in place when you are chasing down prey at 70 mph! However, those tear marks can help. It is believed that the black lines absorb the sun and prevent it from causing a glare into the eyes of the cheetah. Pretty handy adaptation for a daytime hunter who hunts in the savannas of Africa. #cheetah #intlcheetahday #cheetahday #wildlifeeducation #animalambassador #sandiegozoo #safaripark #bigcat #bigcatsofinstagram #africa #visitthezoo #wildlifeconservation #zoophotography #instacat #instacats #catogram #notapet #cute #cuteface #spots (at San Diego, California)
