Once back on the ground from the Sky Lift that carried me across
the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha from one end of the African Savannah portion of
the zoo to the other, I backtracked to an area of habitats called the
Kopje. It was designed after
southern African rock formations. After exploring those habitats, I was on to
the Reticulated Giraffe herd. In
the Kopje habitats there were more Klipspringers, as well as, Meerkats. From this area of the zoo, it was also
possible to get some wonderful views of the Southern White Rhinoceros.
Klipspringers, Oreotragus oreotragusMeerkats, Suricata suricatta
Reticulated Giraffe, Giraffa reticulata
Southern White Rhinoceros, Ceratotherium simum

Every Zoo is home to volunteer species. This little Midwestern ground squirrel was everywhere at the Henry Doorly Zoo. In most places the moochers are avian. Here, the chief benefactor was a rodent!
