Zoo Signs

This is another posting about signs. The photos of the signs were taken during a visit in the Taipei Zoo, situated in the district of 木栅 (Mù zhà), at the southeastern outskirts of Taipei. It is hence also commonly referred to as "Muzha Zoo" (木柵動物園). The zoo encompasses over 160 hectares and is famous for its modern way of keeping the animals in spacious enclosures. Amongst many others, it has a Formosa Animal Area displaying animals endemic to Taiwan.
The generously designed park offers a nice opportunity to watch all the different animals during an extended walk .... and on week-ends crowds of Taipei families with their little children - again a special sight seeing opportunity! ;-)

But before showing you the signs, I want to share this photo of perfect relaxation with you:


Dangers in the zoo are manifold: ferocious panthers with sharp teeth, unwanted showers by elephants,...













... greedy hairy hands ...

...or unpleasant droppings from above!


Our picture riddle for this time: to which animal does this belong?

Elephant would be too easy, so it's got to be a...some kind of pachydermata
