The bison and zebra were in enclosures that would get your animals taken away from you over here, considering how many were in there and the giraffes and elephants weren't much better. As much as ambition is a good quality to have I think there's a bit too much here perhaps getting rid of some of the larger animals to make space to expand the other enclosures would be a good idea. Admittedly the open enclosures are a good idea in that you can see the animals easily but the main problem I had was that there were far too many animals in far too small a space.
These factors make albinism a rare occurrence among some species in the wild, as this tragic instance demonstrates.It seemed promising enough to start with as we walked round past the lions and tigers but after that it just went a bit downhill. Additionally, because of their white coloration, they may be more visible to predators. For instance, people with albinism frequently experience vision issues and are more vulnerable to solar radiation. The disorder can also cause patients to have red eyes and white hair, among other problems. From chimpanzees and humans to orcas and even pandas, it can have an impact on any species. The hereditary disease known as albinism is defined by the lack of the melanin pigment. Here, they were able to confirm the person’s albinism because to the complete lack of pigmentation in his skin, hair, and eyes. The scientists found the body and brought it back to the lab for an autopsy. Leroux continued, “To my knowledge, the ‘petting’ and ‘pinching’ behaviors have never been seen before in this setting. I believe that the length of time spent scrutinizing the body, the variety of people who looked at it, and some of the actions taken, such as inserting a digit into the anus or “petting” the back of the subject with their lips are really unusual behaviors. The researchers also mention some unusual conduct that was committed toward the cadaver, such as one chimpanzee inserting his finger into the anus of the carcass. Although it is not unheard of for chimpanzees to examine a dead body, it is believed that the baby’s peculiar look attracted more attention from the other group members. The group of ten then started touching, sniffing, and inspecting the cadaver, which was unusual. The baby ceased crying and moving at this moment. A mature female chimp eventually received the child and began viciously biting its head. He was joined by at least six more chimps, who began biting the crying child’s fingers, legs, and ears. The albino infant with the missing arm was being held by the dominant male as he emerged from the bush. The researchers heard an infant crying and angry screaming just after 7:30 am. The infant passed away in the early hours of July 19. Another adult female stood quietly and calmly watching the albino baby. The one adult male approached UP during this fight and held out his hand to her, “presumably to reassure her,” according to the report. However, not all of them were antagonistic. An argument ensued, and an adult male hit UP and the baby before shoving her up a tree while people below whooped and barked. In one interaction, the researchers observed individuals in a group close to the mother and baby producing “hoos and waa barks,” which chimpanzees generally do when coming into contact with dangerous or unusual animals, such as snakes or strange humans. The researchers do point out that other chimpanzees in the group were already displaying antagonistic and aggressive behaviors. The albino child and his mother (known as UP) were spotted several times during the coming days. Lead study author Mal Leroux from the University of Zurich in Switzerland said, “We were extremely interested in studying the behavior and emotions from other group members towards this individual with a really odd appearance. The research team’s estimation for the baby’s age at the time of the first sighting is between 14 and 19 days, based on his size and the timing of his mother’s pregnancy. The baby boy with white fur was initially discovered in July 2018 in northwest Uganda’s Budongo Forest Reserve. The discovery was just published in the American Journal of Primatology by a group from the Budongo Conservation Field Station and the University of Zürich in Switzerland.
