BIG PAPPA DOESN’T LIKE TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED!
Just like humans, animals too can have a variety of moods, characteristics and expressions, and reptiles are no exception it seems!

There were signs that python had recently eaten an animal, most likely a huge rat, making him/her immobile a...

“Ms Anbarasi Boopal, deputy chief executive of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres), said UWS should have explored options for rehabilitating its animals to the wild instead of sending them to another marine park, and called for clarifications on how the dolphins will be used at Chimelong.
