Zoo Life and Falconry

Hi! I'm Jess and I've worked on a zoo as a falconer. Falconry is an art, which a falconer trains a bird of prey to hunt. Where I work, we use falconry techniches to rehabilitate falcons, hawks, owls and eagles. The raptors we can't realease back to nature are used to Environmental Education. It doesn't mean I can't handle other animals, like snakes and other kinds of birds. I'm gonna post some pics from my job. Hope you like it :3

Dark ghost shark (Hydrolagus novaezealandiae) and the pale ghost shark (Hydrolagus bemisi), both are shortnose chimaera of the family Chimaeridae, found on the continental shelf around the South Island of New Zealand in depths from 30 to 850 m.

Both ghost shark species are taken almost exclusively as a bycatch of other target trawl fisheries

Osprey - Pandion haliaetus; Occurring  on every continent except Antarctica, the osprey is one of the most widespread birds of prey. Also known as the fish hawk, the osprey exhibits several adaptions to hunting and eating fish, including dense, oily plumage, large feet, scaly soles, and a reversible outer toe that helps with carrying fish through the air. The Osprey is typically found near still or slow-flowing water, including both salt and freshwater and thus occurs in a wide variety of habitats such as lakes, rivers, wooded swamps with open water and shorelines, from cliffs to salt-flats.
