Photos from a recent trip to the Taipei Zoo

  • Formosan Wild Boar
  • Addax
  • Formosan Serow
  • A Formosan Rock Macaque with a background of fake rain.
  • Black Sugar, the zoo's Formosan Black Bear was tirelessly (haha, get it?) playing with a tire.
  • A Southern Pig-tailed Macaque. Does this remind anyone else of that [http://images.google.com/search?q=gollum&hl=en&num=0&biw=1044&bih=964&tbm=isch annoying little creature] from Lord of the Rings?
  • Southern Pig-tailed Macaques
  • This was hilarious. The Malayan Tapirs were just being fed but the Siamangs immediately started stealing the vegetables and sneaked off with them. The tapirs couldn't care less though - they seemed more interested in the green leaves.
  • Another Siamang approaching to steal the tapirs' food.
  • Asian Elephant
  • A very happy Bactrian Camel.
  • An unidentified bird sitting on a White Rhinoceros.
  • An unidentified turtle
  • 團團 (Tuan tuan), the male panda, doing what he does best: lying around in the same place he was when we visited him two years ago. With that sort of energy level it's no big surprise that Pandas are endangered.
  • The poorest Pelican you'll ever see. It's hard to imagine how he can survive with half his beak missing but he seems to manage. When he drinks he just quickly snaps back his head, so that the water won't flow it.
  • A healthier specimen of a Pelican
  • African Elephant
  • "Drink water, eat rabbit"
