Some shots taken from the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. 1. Sea Otter. Pictured here is a male, one impressive feature w these subspecies is having pockets under their armpits. Loose folds of skin that essentially act like storage pouches. 2. Hondo, a 9 year old male African Lion. A recent arrival within the last year from the Idaho Falls Zoo. Hondo came to the Pittsburgh Zoo as a breeding recommendation for the zoos current females, Scarlett and Abana, who recently gave birth to a female cub Kiazi. Meaning potato in Swahili. 3. False Gharial. Pictured here is a female, False Gharials are known for their incredibly slim nose, but given that False Gharials are more closely related to crocodiles, research has indicated they can even consume small mammals such as monkey species, despite the slim snout. 4. Nyala. Pictured here is a bull, male Nyalas develop the grayish brown coat as they age, and the older they get, the darker the coat gets. In their early years however, they possess the same coloration as adult females with more of a reddish brown coat. 5. Leafy Sea Dragon. An impressive feature with their bodies is the leafy like features around their body act as camouflage, not movement. They have tiny, almost transparent fins to help navigate in the ocean. #zoo #wildlifephoto #africa #indonesia #pghzooandaquarium

Our grantees go above and beyond. Sometimes, they even take a few unexpected tasks under their wing. Three Rivers Waterkeeper usually patrols Pittsburgh’s waterways for pollution. But when two Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium pelicans escaped to the Allegheny River, Captain Evan Clark joined zoo staff for a six-hour rescue mission that brought both birds back safely. Now that’s going the extra nautical mile. Read more about the rescue in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. And learn more about the work of Three Rivers Waterkeeper by checking out our recent “We Can Be” podcast episode, available on all major podcast platforms.

Not sure what happened but Lightroom decided to do its own thing when I clicked denoise. Kinda like it though, looks like a double exposure. 📸: Sony RX10V ~ 24-600mm ~ f2.4-4.0 ⚙️: 370mm ~ f5.6 ~ 1/1000s ~ ISO800 #giraffe #pittsburghzoo #shotonsony #lightroom #wildlifephotography
