Congrats on the new additions. The Scimitar horned Oryx is stunning.

Have the cats grown much?

Very nice. Saeed, can you give us a list of what you currently have in the zoo? Any photos of Walter with the animals...have him feed the crocs.

Walter is the only person I know who had been bitten by one ofour crocs - one named after him, in fact!

Luckily, it was very small then.

We have Dorcas, Thomsons, Grants, impala, dik dik, scimitar horned oryx, Arabian oryx, mountain sheep, ostrichs, cheetahs, snakes, hedgehog, mountain fox, green iguanas and many different types of parrots and macaws

That's a nice collection Saeed. Any "wish" animals on your list? I forgot about the dik diks. Any photos of those little guys? They are really neat but could be dangerous I would think...like a bushbuck.

Handsome animals, aren't they?

I speak from experience when I say scimitar-horned oryx are the finest venison I have ever eaten.

This is fortunate a more mature croc could have taken a big enough bite to have been lethally poisoned! Wink

Saeed,
You should take some good close up photo's (especially facial features) and put them in a study CD "book" for Taxidermists. Taxidermists (at least those that are Artists) are always looking for above average study material. Your in a position to provide this on CD-ROM. May not make Oprah's Book list, but it would be very beneficial to artists of all walks. Congrats on the additions!
David

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Saeed, those are beautiful animals!

They look almost delicate. What is their temperament? Are they aggressive, like their gemsbok cousins?

George, I agree with you on meat of the scimitar, it is great even on the old bulls. I have run an exotic game ranch for years and I love it when a guy takes a scimitar and hopefully leaves some of the meat for me. We started culling some cows last year and my son shot a 40" cow about 5 years old. The meat is right up there with eland.

The Arabian oryx male was not too happy of me getting close to them. As I had a small pocket camera and wanted to have some photoes of them.

He started lowering his head and then raising it - a normal sign of being uncomfortable.

I decided to leave, and get a camera with a longer lense.

For those into cameras, all the photoes above were taken with the new Nikon D3 digital camera and the Nikon 80-400 mm VR lense.

Hi Saeed

Pardon me being DAMN inquistive ...

BUT where were you so lucky to get the Arabian & Scimitar from, are they from Saudi or if not AN other. Is it a complicated process to get hold of these wonderful species.

Any relavent information welcome

All the best to yourself and family

Cheers, Peter

The Scimitar horned oryx were from Saudia, and the Arabian oryx were from a private breeder in the UAE.

Where did you get Thompson and Grant Gazelle ? South African Game Farmers will pay enormous prices to get one of this East African Gazells...
