“If I’m the President and Ambassador Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is an ambassador to South Africa, he can’t go around saying I don’t bath and I’m smelly. Even if it’s true, it’s not his place to say that as an ambassador, there’s no way I’ll discuss serious matters of national importance if he speaks about me like that.” - President Thabo Mbeki 🖤💚💛🇿🇦

In Dagestan, Russsia, a lion attacked a man who decided to play with it A young man was walking to the store with his brother when they encountered the animal and decided to "have some fun" with it. The lion didn’t appreciate the joke and bit the young man. The man admitted that he often encounters lions, but only small ones, as many people in Makhachkala keep them at home. In Russia, keeping lions as pets is illegal. Owners face fines, the seizure of the animal, and in some cases, criminal liability.

WATCH: Wow! Trump-appointed NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya lied to Loomer Unleashed and Charles R Downs today outside of the NATCON conference as he was walking in to give his speech. We confronted him about NIH extending Dr. Fauci’s animal testing grants and issuing tens of millions of dollars in new grants that fund testing on dogs, cats and primates, even though he & his so-called ‘animal testing czar’ @NKleinstreuer said they’re phasing animal testing out & the problem “predates” them. White Coat Waste has the receipts. Bhattacharya told us, “we aren’t doing animal testing.” Then, when we gave Bhattacharya the benefit of the doubt and asked him for proof, he said, “I don’t have time for this.” I love animals, and most Americans love animals too. Animals are pure and deserve our protection from cruel and inhumane, taxpayer funded tests on animals. Most Americans oppose animal testing too. The questions we asked the NIH Director today are important questions. I don’t think President Donald J. Trump is going to take too kindly to one of his tax payer funded Cabinet heads lying and saying he doesn’t have time to talk about cutting wasteful animal testing at NIH. Cutting spending at NIH and holding Fauci accountable are top priorities for President Trump’s administration. President Trump made animal cruelty a FELONY in 2019 via an executive order. Animal cruelty in government labs should also be classified as felony animal cruelty. PS: We know NIH is lying about not testing on animals. White Coat Waste has the receipts.

🐾❤️ We've got some exciting news! Zoo Knoxville is thrilled to announce the birth of two male red panda cubs to parents Sisu and Doofah! Born on June 7, these tiny brothers are healthy, growing well, and spending their first weeks safely tucked away with mom in their nest box at the Boyd Family Red Panda Village. Our animal care team is closely monitoring their growth while giving Sisu the space she needs to raise her cubs naturally. This marks back-to-back years of red panda births at Zoo Knoxville and another important milestone for the zoo's nationally recognized red panda conservation program. The cubs aren't ready to meet guests just yet, but we'll be following their journey every step of the way, from the nest box to the nursery, and eventually to the exciting day Sisu decides it's time to introduce them to the outdoors. We're excited to share their journey with you. The first few months of a red panda's life are filled with both exciting milestones and natural challenges, and we want you to experience those moments alongside us. Our hope is that by watching these cubs grow, you'll develop a deeper appreciation for red pandas and join us in protecting their future.

This is Minto🐐 Raised as a pet for barely two to two-and-a-half months, yet the moment his guardian calls his name, he instantly gets up and walks straight to them. Animals like goats form deep bonds, recognize voices, show affection, and trust the people they love. They are no less sentient, intelligent, or emotional than the dogs and cats we cherish. The only difference is how society chooses to see them. Every animal values their life. Every animal deserves compassion.

It is with heavy hearts that we share with you that yesterday afternoon our Animal Care team made the difficult decision to euthanize the beloved Kevin The Duck. Kevin, a wild mallard, arrived at San Antonio Zoo sometime around 2017 in the hippopotamus habitat. We believe was born in the zoo and ended up in the habitat with Timothy and Uma. Kevin had a deformed wing and could not fly, so our Animal Care team adopted him and took care of him his entire life. Kevin passed away quietly yesterday morning under the loving care and comfort of his veterinarians and animal care staff. In recent weeks the team noticed Kevin displaying mobility issues, and an exam by our veterinary team found two large cancerous masses, one in his chest and one in his abdomen. The mass in his chest was affecting his ability to breathe well and the mass in his abdomen was affecting his ability to walk. At the age of 8, Kevin lived a full life. The average lifespan for a wild mallard is 5 - 10 years. He was known for always crashing the hippo experiences and often stealing the spotlight. We believe Kevin may have considered himself to be a hippo and both Timothy and Uma happily accepted him into their family. Please enjoy this video about Kevin The Duck from March of 2021, with a special message to him from the zoo crew, Timothy and Uma at the end. #KevinForever

We’re excited to announce the birth of a new male lion cub at Zoo Knoxville! 🦁 Born on February 17th to first-time mom Zahra (ZARA) and dad Maji (MAW-GEE), this little guy represents an important step in supporting the genetic diversity of lions in human care and the survival of his species. Zoo staff monitored new mom Zahra around the clock after she gave birth. After about two weeks, they noticed she was having trouble producing enough milk and that the cub wasn’t getting the nourishment he needed. Our team stepped in, and thanks to the dedication of our veterinary and keeper staff, he is now thriving under human care and growing stronger every day. For now, he’s in our vet clinic receiving expert attention—growing, gaining strength, and even finding his little "roar". We’ll continue to share updates as he grows and will let guests know when he’s ready to make his debut to the public. Stay tuned and follow Zoo Knoxville on social media for the latest on this little guy’s journey.
