With the ongoing unrest and violence in Egypt, this story - about the zoo animals in Cairo - has been released. This reminds me of an awesome graphic novel by the man who wrote for Lost and Under the Dome - Brian K. Vaughn - called Pride of Baghdad. It is a fictionalized account of he real life story of four lions that escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during the American invasion of Iraq. You can purchase it on Amazon here.
During times of turmoil and civil uprising anywhere in the world, animals are often neglected - whether they are domesticated or exotic. There was the 2012 story of the massacre at the Okapi Conservation Center in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - 6 people and 13 okapi were killed by rebels. I am not saying animals are more important than people, or that they are as important. I am only saying they are often forgotten, and this is unfortunate.

Here's an update on the baby rhino, written by my lovely co-worker, Jen. Check out her personal website - Art and Rhinos. P.S. Jasiri is 9 months old now. She is only 1 month old in the photo above.
