Couldn't identify this #bird on a roof at the #houstonzoo - everyone else nearby was a flamingo or a black bellied whistling duck, but this tall fellow looked like a cross between a duck and an egret. Couldn't get a better view than this one. #birdsofmastodon

"Though it took him nearly a century, the 90-year-old #RadiatedTortoise known as Mr. Pickles is finally a #dad.

"The #HoustonZoo announced on Thursday that he and his partner, 53-year-old Mrs. #Pickles, recently welcomed three #tortoise hatchlings: #Dill, #Gherkin and #Jalapeño."

Not sure of the species. I now realize I should have taken a pic of the sign by the exhibit.

#HoustonZoo: Help! One of our clouded leopards escaped its enclosure and we can't find him.

#Police: SWAT team is on its way.

#Zoo: The cat only weighs 25lbs.

Police: Oh okay, we're sending over a heat seeking #drone, then.

Zoo: Never mind, an irritated squirrel ratted out the hiding leopard. We found him.
