Senior mammal keeper Jim Dicks observes the male giraffe calf
Giraffe born at Paignton Zoo, Devon, Britain - 23 May 2016
FULL WORDS: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/sdj1
A Rothschild?s giraffe has been born at Paignton Zoo. The male calf was born to mother Janica on the morning of Thursday 19th May. Sadly, he was rejected by his mother, so zoo keepers have stepped in to bottle feed him.
Senior Keeper Craig Gilchrist said: ?He has taken milk from us, he is getting the hang of it. Mammal keepers Helen Neighbour and Jim Dicks are doing the feeding. He is separated from the group but can see them all, for the first few days it is important to keep him separate to allow him to bond with the keepers so he feels comfortable enough to feed from them. As soon as possible he will be reintroduced to the herd so he doesn?t forget he is a giraffe!?

Taking life slowly in Cuba, Cuba - 29 Dec 2015
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rxvm
Despite the fast changes that are happening in Cuba, the population are still taking life very slowly.
Photographer Valerio Berdini has captured a series of images that show the slow, Cuban way of life.
Valerio said: "The headlines speak clear - change is imminent; expectations are high. What the analysis don't seem to touch on are the Cubans. There have been three generations of people that grew up and have been educated under Fidel Castro's socialism."
He added: "In Cuba time passes at a different pace, days do not have the rhythm of a western society. Workers are not taught the concepts of services, efficiency or excellence. Competition, the driving force of a capitalist society, is unknown in an economy where, for almost 60 years, people are used to earning their (meagre) salary regardless their productivity. There are few objectives and fewer rewards, the little money are spent in tiny undersupplied shops. People aren't seduced by adverts."

Crocodile keeper allows a visitor to handle a baby crocodile
Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park in Broome, Australia - Sep 2015
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rhhn
With its jaws gaping wide, this fearsome croc swallows a chicken carcass with one snap. Elsewhere, similar reptiles lurk in the algae covered water, floating like innocent looking logs, waiting to pounce on any unsuspecting prey. Welcome to feeding time at the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park in Broome, Australia. And fortunately for the visitors to the attraction the only thing the crocs get their jaws around are the chicken and fish carcasses they are fed by keepers. The saltwater crocodile is the world's largest reptile and a native of the northern coastal areas of Australia and Southeast Asia. They live in mangrove-lined tidal rivers, creeks, billabongs and swamps and sometimes in the sea. The 'Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park' was created by its namesake in 1983 as a Crocodile research centre.

Baby drill monkey being handraised by keeper at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, Kent, Britain - 08 Jul 2014
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Les Wilson/REX (3946453b)
Keeper Becomes 'Mum' To Adorable Baby Monkey
A zoo keeper and his fiancée have become parents sooner than they expected thanks to an adorable baby monkey.
Simon Jeffrey and his partner Emma are currently mum and dad to tiny African drill monkey 'Mubi' after she was abandoned.
When Mubi was rejected by her mother Yola at the Aspinall Foundation's Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent Simon, who is head of the primate section, stepped forward.
When she was a newborn Simon had to feed little Mubi every two hours around the clock.
Luckily, following the first week she started sleeping through the night so Simon was able to catch up on some much needed sleep.
During the day Mubi goes to work with Simon and she spends her time near to the enclosure containing the other drill monkeys.
At the end of the day she goes home with Simon to spend time with her 'siblings' - Jack Russell pups Ian and Daisy and a cuddly gorilla toy.
It is hoped that in time she will be able to be reintegrated back into the drill group at the park.
African drills are classed as endangered and their population has dropped by more than half over the past 30 years due to hunting and deforestation.

At the end of the day she goes home with Simon to spend time with her 'siblings' - Jack Russell pups Ian and Daisy and a cuddly gorilla toy.
It is hoped that in time she will be able to be reintegrated back into the drill group at the park.
African drills are classed as endangered and their population has dropped by more than half over the past 30 years due to hunting and deforestation.

Keeper Becomes 'Mum' To Adorable Baby Monkey
A zoo keeper and his fiancée have become parents sooner than they expected thanks to an adorable baby monkey.
Simon Jeffrey and his partner Emma are currently mum and dad to tiny African drill monkey 'Mubi' after she was abandoned.
When Mubi was rejected by her mother Yola at the Aspinall Foundation's Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent Simon, who is head of the primate section, stepped forward.
When she was a newborn Simon had to feed little Mubi every two hours around the clock.

Penguins left depressed by terrible weather are given anti-depressants at Scarborough Sea Life Centre, Yorkshire, Britain - 06 Feb 2014

Penguins With Wet Weather Blues Get 'Happy Pills'
Keepers are having to feed their penguins anti-depressants as the terrible British weather has got them down in the dumps.
The resident penguins at the Scarborough Sea Life Centre have become so depressed by the relentless rain and wind that they are being given a course of 'happy pills'.
The medication is inserted into the gills of the dead fish that are fed to the birds.
Display curator Lyndsey Crawford said: "Humboldt's in the wild on the coast of Peru and Chile can be subjected to some pretty wild extremes of weather.
"What they don't get though is weeks of almost daily downpours and high winds.
"After the first week our birds were just a bit subdued, but after over a month now, they are thoroughly fed-up and miserable, much like the rest of us".
Misery can lower the body's natural defenses in penguins even more easily than in humans.
This is why the penguins have been prescribed 'uppers' to try and head off any more serious symptoms.
Lyndsey adds: "They're doing the trick so far, but we are all praying for the weather to change and at least a few successive days of sunshine to give the penguins the tonic they really need".

Premature baby giraffe cared for by keepers after being rejected by mother, Krugersdorp, South Africa - 06 Nov 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Foto24/Nelius Rademan/REX (3361459i)
Premature Baby Giraffe Adopted By Human 'Mother'
He may be a newborn but this little giraffe is almost the same height as its adoptive 'mother'.
The youngster has been adopted by keeper Wayne Muller at the Krugersdorp Game Reserve in South Africa.
Five-day-old 'Baby X', as he has been dubbed, had to be taken under Wayne's protective wing after being rejected at birth by its mother.
After being born prematurely the calf, who has not been properly named or sexed yet, was unable to feed properly due to having underdeveloped legs that meant it struggled to stand.
Wayne will now care for his unusual foster child for the next five or six months.
Currently, the youngster is fed every two hours and is also undergoing physiotherapy, including lots of walks, to help build up its legs.

Tammy the anteater gets chaperone, London Zoo, Britain - 07 Jun 2013
A fun-loving anteater will be given her own minder during a series of late night events at ZSL London Zoo this summer.
Twelve-year-old Tammy the tree-climbing anteater loves ambling around the public walkways of her exhibit after hours.
But with naturally poor eyesight, tree-climbing anteaters have a tendency to be on the clumsy side. To safeguard the fluffy blonde and black resident zookeepers will be giving Tammy a helping pair of hands.
Keeper Caroline Westlake says, "Tree-climbing anteaters are most active in the mornings and evenings, making Zoo Lates the perfect opportunity for visitors to see Tammy scaling the branches and investigating her home.
"To make sure she can go about her business exploring Rainforest Life, we're providing Tammy with her very own minder to gently guide her around our evening visitors. We're now keeping our fingers crossed that the A-list treatment won't result in any diva-like behaviour!"

Tigers put 'indestructible' signage to the test, Longleat, Wiltshire, Britain - Apr 2013

Longleat Keeper Bob Trollope puts the 'Deadly Safari' signage in tiger territory
Tigers put 'indestructible' signage to the test, Longleat, Wiltshire, Britain - Apr 2013
Devising indestructible new signage which can survive the rigours of daily life in a safari park was always going to be a tall order.
However the big cat keepers at Longleat were so confident they were up to the challenge they decided to put the new signs to the ultimate test - with the help of their trio of tigers.
Thankfully, depsite some pawing from the inquistive tigers, the test sign remained "relatively unscathed".
The signage is part of a major new Deadly Adventure series of features which are being unveiled at the Wiltshire attraction this year and acting as Deadly symbols for visitors to spot as they journey through the park.
Longleat's Steve Mytton said: "We needed to create signage which was in keeping with the natural environment, relatively easy for people to spot and also strong enough to stand up to some of the world's most impressive predators - particularly our lions, tigers and cheetahs.
"We had a couple of early teething problems but we're now pretty confident we've got the signage in exactly the right areas and although they clearly created some interest among the big cats at first, they seemed to survive their attentions relatively unscathed - and we have got some duplicates ready, just in case!" he added.
Deadly Safari is the first experience visitors can get of Longleat's Deadly transformation with a brand new guide which has been voiced by BBC Deadly presenter Steve Backshall.
Deadly Safari marks the launch of the new Deadly Adventure at Longleat, a four year partnership with BBC Worldwide to transform areas of the park in the style of the BBC's hugely popular Deadly branded programmes which include Deadly 60; Deadly Top 10s...

Hazel the pickpocketing red squirrel steals nuts from out a person's pocket at Escot Park, Devon, Britain - 14 Mar 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Austin / Rex Features (2210253i)
Pickpocketing Squirrel's Life Of Crime To Feed Nut Habit
Hazel the squirrel is so nuts for nuts that she has even turned to a life of crime to feed her habit.
Red squirrels can jump up to 20ft through tree canopies when they spot food.
So jumping from a fence post onto an unsuspecting tourist - and then pilfering their pockets - poses no problem.
Hazel, who lives in Escot Park in East Devon, recently showed off her lightfingered skills with keeper Victoria Sissons.
Leaping through the air with the greatest of ease, Hazel lands on Victoria's arm before heading straight for the tasty treats in her pocket.
And once she has got her paws on a nut she is gone again - making her getaway with another leap.
Victoria and the other keepers carry nuts with them especially for the eight red squirrels who live in a special enclosure on the estate.
However, the enterprising animals have now reportedly starting pickpocketing visitors too - though it's no clear how successful they have been.
But Hazel apparently has a good reason for her thieving ways - she is pregnant and is stockpiling food before the birth.
John-Michael Kennaway, whose family own the estate, comments: "Hazel is the matriarchal type and was one of the first squirrels here, so she is also one of the braver ones.
"All the squirrels here are used to humans and really tame. They know all the keepers and will happily forage in their pockets for food.
"They even have a check in visitors' pockets despite us not encouraging them to feed the squirrels".
