If you scratch a Galapagos tortoise on the chin it will extend its neck and legs and often close its eyes, a set of responses called "finching" because it allows finches to land and pick off ticks that might be hidden inside skin folds. #galapagos #tortoise #finches #finching #philadelphia #zoo #birds #parasites #ticks #biology #reptiles

Exactly 2 years ago, I went to the Zoo with my mother.
No, she is not in the pictures. Neither am I. 😉

Happy 6th Birthday to Audra & Lenore the red panda sisters. Red pandas aren't actually related to giant pandas! These adorable tree-dwellers are in a class of their own — literally. They're the only species in their family, Ailuridae. https://t.co/jheSg2y8z9

Two pumas, possibly cubs, stand on a tree branch in the center of the image. One puma is positioned on the left side of the branch, while the other is on the right side. Both pumas have their tongues sticking out. The background reveals a grassy area with rocks, indicating that they might be in a zoo or wildlife sanctuary.
