bear in nepal

there are many kinds of bear in nepal.they are kept in so peace environment.Sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) are little known bears native to the Indian subcontinent. National Zoo scientists are beginning a wide-ranging set of studies in support of the conservation of the endangered sloth bear in the wild in India. Zoo staff are uniquely positioned to lead this effort. Sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) are little known bears native to the Indian subcontinent.

Zoo staff are uniquely positioned to lead this effort.

As far back as the early 1970s, Zoo Senior Curator Dr. John Seidensticker and his colleague Dr. Andrew Laurie were the first scientists to study sloth bears in the wild, in Nepal. Fifteen years later, Anup Joshi and his University of Minnesota advisors Drs. David Garshelis and David Smith, all Smithsonian Research Associates, took up the challenge of studying these bears in Nepal. At present, Dr. A. J. T. Johnsingh and K. Yoganand are studying sloth bears in central India. Johnsingh, who worked with Seidensticker in 1981 as a post-doctoral fellow, is head of the wildlife faculty at the Wildlife Institute of India. K. Yoganand was his graduate student; he is now a FONZ-supported post-doctoral fellow at the National Zoo.

We plan to continue training local students and future conservation leaders while studying the ecology, behavior, and physiology of sloth bears in support of their conservation.

Sustaining threatened wild sloth bear populations can be achieved only with a comprehensive understanding of their ecological and behavioral needs. Students and colleagues from the Indian subcontinent will conduct these studies.

Birds in nepal of zoo

Birds are vertebrates of the class Aves and are unique in having feathers, the one major characteristic that distinguishes them from all other animals. Birds also have beaks and forelimbs modified into wings. Most birds are able to fly, but some, like ostriches and penguins, cannot even though they still have wings.

Like mammals, birds are warm-blooded and have a four-chambered heart. All birds reproduce by laying eggs with hard shells, and most birds build nests to protect the eggs from weather and predators. Adult birds almost always sit on the eggs to keep them warm until they hatch. Birds can be found in all habitats above ground, and there are even some species that make nests in underground burrows. Visit the Philadelphia Zoo's colorful birds in Bird Valley and throughout the zoo.
To put it simply, birds are amazing animals.  The colors alone seal the deal on our fascination.  We have feathers to thank for all that beauty and so many gorgeous hues.  Feathers not only help insulate and protect the bird’s skin, provide the smooth surface necessary for flight, and show-case colors and patterns important to camouflage and social behavior, but are a marvel of the natural world, the most prominently recognized feature of a bird’s anatomy, and unique to birds alone.
 
Through a short series of blogs, I hope to show you just how impressive they are, from structure, to shape, color, strength and function. I will be starting from the skin up, describing how birds grow feathers, and what patterns feather growth takes right below the skin.
Until then, I’ll leave you with these amazing feather facts to consider:
The feathers of a bird commonly weigh only 5 to 10 % of a bird’s weight.  This is still usually 2 to 3 times heavier than the  bird’s bones.
The world’s smallest feathers are from the eyelids of the Bee Hummingbird–1/63 of an inch, while a peacock’s tail feathers are 5 feet long.

crocodile in zoo of nepal

crocodile are the one of the most  dangerous and very lovely creature in zoo of nepal.many people lokk it in zoo.it sometimes moves in water and sometimes it comes out of water to sun bath.
Contrary Crocodiles are the largest surviving species of the vertebrate class Reptilia, and are one of the last living links with the age of the dinosaur. Most taxonomists divide the present-day crocodiles into three families: alligators and caimans (Alligatoridae), found primarily in the subtropics of the Americas; true crocodiles (Crocodylidae), found throughout the tropical regions of the world; and gharials (Gavialidae), found only in southern Asia. In total, there are 21 known species in existence today. Except for one saltwater species, croc Like all reptiles, crocodiles breathe air and are poikilothermic (having a body temperature that varies with the temperature of its surroundings). They are basically nocturnal animals; during the day they tend to lie in the sun on land, periodically withdrawing to the water or to shaded areas to avoid overheating. With the onset of darkness they become more active and spend nearly all of their time in the water. The eyes, the nostrils and the ear openings are the highest parts of the upper side of the head and thus remain above the water surface even when the rest of the crocodile is submerged.

          All crocodiles reproduce by means of white, hard-shelled eggs. Depending on the species, the female excavates a nest in the sand or prepares a mounded nest of vegetation and deposits a clutch of 20-70 eggs once a year. A mother crocodile may guard her nest devotedly against predators, but she does not incubate in the sense of providing extra warmth. After an incubation period of 60 to 90 days, the baby crocodiles are ready to hatch and from inside the eggs they begin to make squeaking sounds that can be heard even though a crust of earth 30 cm deep, at a distance as great as 4 m. The young crocodiles grow rapidly, increasing in length by an average of nearly 30 cm per year. Sexual maturity is reached at an age of approximately 8-10 years, after which growth slows but continues throughout the life cycle. The maximum possible length or age is not known but crocodiles have lived in captivity for more than 50 years, and many examples have reached lengths of more than 6 m.

odiles live mainly in freshwater swamps, lakes and rivers.

monkey in zoo of nepal

 Vale, the red titi monkey, was the first baby to be born in ZSL London Zoo’s rainforest biome.
His mum Yara and dad Thiago are famous at the Zoo for being really loved-up, so much so that they regularly sleep with their tails entwined!.they r very nice .they always chatter in zooo.by seeing a lot of people.
Swoyambhu Temple is 1 of 2 temple sites in the densely populated Kathmandu valley with a large population of free-ranging rhesus monkeys.they are very friendly with humans.they are kept in cage  where they chatter and hang up from one tree to another one.Just how smart are monkeys? Their innate curiosity leads them to try new things, but it’s their culture — the passing of information from one generation to the next — that teaches them much of what they know. Their young learn by reaching out with their hands to experience the world around them, grasping new objects, slowly piecing together an understanding of their society. They learn from their families how to find food, communicate, recognize kin, even use tools, medicine, and language. It is these familiar actions that make monkeys so fascinating to humans. We can see ourselves in their faces, our nature in their actions.
 Monkeys do NOT make good pets. Apes such as chimps are worse. But they are also delightful animals. They have strong emotional personalities, with equally strong primal insticts. Add to that a great physical strength (I have seen a 25 lb monkey to overpower a 150 lb man) and you have potentially a very dangerous anmal. I have been working with monkeys for over 20 years. When they get cranky or scared they can – and usually do – bite. That really, really hurts, even from the little squirrel monkeys. I have the scars to prove it, so do some of my children. Monkeys should not be used for research or kept as domestic pets. I love monkeys, especially new world, and I thought this show was great even though I have a tendency to thump my Bible
This documentary was stunning. If you can watch it without looking into the eyes of the amazing creatures captured in this film and not see the innate similarities between monkeys and humans, there’s something wrong.
Much is being said about the violent and predatory nature of monkeys. True, it does seem shocking at first. However, once you look beyond the gore, I don’t think it’s anymore graphic than human nature. We are just more insulated from the rawness… especially in American culture. If they allowed all of the images of violence in American culture [or any culture for that matter] to be aired on TV, the debate between who has a more predatory nature would be a toss-up.
It was only after watching this documentary that I was overwhelmed by the feeling that humans truly are the most ignorant and arrogant of primates. Some monkeys are thinkers… some monkeys fling poop. I think all are pretty well represented here in these comments.

While this information source is considered the very best available, accurate data on wild elephant populations is difficult to obtain and scientifically verifyThe Nepalese government has recognised the importance of elephant conservation and has established five protected reserves and an elephant breeding facility at Khorso

Although small in number, Nepal's elephant population is stable and has long term viability. A forward thinking conservation policy and motivated officials will almost certainly contribute to the maintenance of numbers in the near and medium-term future.
