To say Fiona is special is an understatement. Here she is catching raindrops in her mouth. This is something she likes to do all on her own. We've never seen any of the other hippos do this.

Lying in wait. Female lions are the pride's primary hunters. They work together to prey upon large animals of the open grasslands. Teamwork is important because many animals they prey upon are faster than lions.

Scratches for Scamper the rescued fox! He was an exotic pet who was abandoned and is now training to be an ambassador to teach visitors wild animals like foxes don’t make good pets. #cincinnatizoo

Out with the old, in with the new. Just like other arthropods, tarantulas have to shed their exoskeletons as they grow. They wait until their new, fresh “skin” is ready to go underneath and then the process begins. They’ll find a safe place, flip upside down and wiggle their way out of the old exoskeleton. It takes a day or two before their new “skin” is hardened up completely, so they’re extra vulnerable during this time. Young tarantulas molt every few weeks or months, but by the time they’re adults they only molt every year or so.
