You can detect the mood of the lama by watching its ears. Turned forward shows that the lama is curious and attentive. Wriggling its ears means the lama is disturbed, and if it turns the ears back you better watch out, because it is a threat. The lama might even emphasize the threat by sending vomit into the face of the opponent. (This you will know already if you have read Tintin albums).

The Nandu and the Mara also lives in South America on grass steppe, feed is grass, roots and herbs for both animals, the Nandu also eats insects.

Trampeltier

The two-humped camel is adapted to the life in the Asian deserts with extremely hot summers and very cold winters.

The humps contain fat, and serve as fuel reserves for the camel.

The eye-lashes of the camel are long and protect the eyes from the sand, also the nostrils can close to protect for the sand.
As you can see below on the close up of the feet, they are also adapted to the sandy ground of the deserts. By having these wide feet the camel avoid sinking into the sand.

Pictures of a Cow in Zoo:

All domesticated cows originate from the aurochs which lived in Northern Europe, North Africa and Asia.

It is believed that abaout 8.000 years ago the aurochs was domesticated 

I know that showing a picture of cowshit is not the most normal thing to do, but on the other hand: where else do you find a picture like that when you need it?

The Okapi:

Okapia johnstoni.

You can only find the Okapi in  the Central African rainforest, where it feed on leaves, ferns, fruit and mushrooms.

The Okapi is related to the giraffe, and is also called the giraffe of the forest. But it is smaller than the giraffe, and therefore more adapted to living in a rain forest with dense vegetation.

Every Okapi has it's own pattern on the behind, it is as different from animal to animal as fingerprints are for humans. These patterns serve as a great camouflage in the forest.

Only the males have horn, but the female is bigger than the male.

As you can see, this page is with pictures of many different zoo animals, kind of a helter-skelter-page, where I can put all the different pictures I have taken on my zoo-walks, but pictures that doesn't really fit on a page of it's own.

Common Hippo

Hippopotamus amphibus, in German called Nilpferd

There is already a page on this site about Hippos and with a lot of great pictures, but here are some more, taken in Copenhagen Zoo.

I think I got some really good pictures, but I was a bit annoyed because just after I placed the camera in my pocket, the pig male hippo almost jumped up out of the water. It would have been such a spectacular picture, but alas.
