Hola! I knew about Audobun -the naturalist- and the assotiations that have his name, but I didn't know there were such zoos in States. Certainly important zoos' politics have changed, and now they aren't a plain collection of animals, but they're focused on preserving rare species. Still, even if I know many of those species, I find really surprising to see them in a Zoo. They're like little jewels. No, the ibis I meant is the one of this photo: http://www.republicofnewhome.org/images/home/zoo/img_1531.jpg About the pingeons with colouring feathers... have you noticed mostly of the bird species with most colouring and bizarre feathers are from India-to Australia? Even in SouthAmerica's forest, birds aren't like that. I find amusing the English name of Screamers', certainly it fits the specie (and perhaps certain someone, too XD); in Spanish, it's "chaja".
Oh! I didn't noticed you said what kind of Otters were those. I saw they're different of European otters, which are darker coloured and hasn't those big mustaches. When you see those species together, is easier to find out their differences.
