chinun replied to your post:Hi Liselle. I need some advice. I've just started a degree in zoology and you seem to have a lot of experience. Can you give me some tips on where to look for experience? I live in the UK.
Holy moly that’s a lot :’)
Well, I like to keep busy...!

Yaaasss
Marvellous, I'm drawing at the moment but I'll start writing it tomorrow for sure!
Hi! Love the pictures of your adorable babies, but could you please not say "spooky" as it's an anti-black slur...
Heyo, thanks for reaching out! I have never heard spooky used as an anti-black slur; spook I do know is an anti-black slur but I was unaware that the adjective form of the word was ever used in a derogatory way. However, I am not black, so this is not up for me to decide! I will refrain from using the term from here on out. You have a nice night and a really great tomorrow!
Hey there! Regarding Mandalay's unusual tail color, the pictures I've seen look like her tail gradually got lighter as time went on. And a few weeks ago I went to my zoo and the CLs there had light tails like Mandalay has. The keeper said they were like 13 years old; and I remember reading that Mandalay is an old lady herself, so I'm wondering if the lightened color is just an old CL thing..? Would love your thoughts on this! Love your blog btw keep up the great work! :) -panthxra
Hello!
That would make sense I guess, lots of species go ‘grey’ as they get older. I didn’t think about that. I’m not sure exactly how old Mandalay is, but she and Ben are ‘retired’ so is possibly a fair age. I mean, generally, clouded leopard coats can be hugely variable in colour -ranging from definite brown to grey. So it could be that she is just pale anyway, but combined with the ageing process has gotten paler. You might have hit the nail in the head! I always forget to think of the simpler explanations.
Thank you for the compliment, I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had time to do much with it. Hopefully soon I can start writing some more posts!
