See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Description of Subject Matter: Claws & Paws Pathway
Meet binturongs, bobcats,�Pallas' cats and porcupines!
The animals on�Claws & Paws Pathway are found in�different countries and live in a variety of habitats. Most are carnivores (animals that eat meat) with strong claws and sharp teeth.

Follow your nose!
These animals have something else in common ... they stink! Some animals have strong scents to ward off predators or mark their territories.
As you visit the animals along Claws & Paws Pathway, think about what you smell.
A whiff of stinky cheese? That may be the prickly North American porcupine. Buttered popcorn? You're probably smelling the shaggy-coated binturongs.�

Meet the Animals:
* North American porcupine: The Zoo is home to a male porcupine, named Jeffrey.��
* Bobcat: Three bobcats live at the Zoo -- males Cheese and Yoda�and female Ollie.
* Binturong: A male binturong, named Hank, and a female binturong, named Lola, live on Claws & Paws Pathway.
* Pallas' Cat: Claws & Paws Pathway is home to two female Pallas' cats, named Akar and Ceba.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
