True. BUT on the hopeful side, jaguars are reportedly very shy of humans and there are very few reports of anyone being attacked by a jaguar unless they had cornered the animal.
At least he's safe and the zoo is going above and beyond to prevent this ever happening again. The inspection by the national group revealed that the zoo easily met all the standards of care for jaguar enclosures. But our zoo admin has said that's obviously not good enough, and they are proceeding with actions that exceed the requirements rather significantly.
And I expect this incident may result in a CHANGE in the official recommendations for jaguar enclosures!!!!!!
Thanks so much, Carol.
My attendance may still be a bit sporadic (Life has a way of interfering!!!
) but I always love the CDR and all its wonderful denizens!

That is good to hear. And if it is not working then improve on it until it does.
Oh I will! They want nothing to do with me! I’m just the chauffeur [emoji3]
It’s a bit breezy so I can’t put up my umbrella yet.

It's a kind of wart you get on your feet. Typically infection occurs in changing rooms or showers where conditions are warm and damp
So the UK heatwave continues and so does the drought.
We are very fortunate here in the south east as we actually have water. We get very little rain at the best of times and this area is pretty densely populated compared with other parts of the country. Our water company has been forced to repair leaks properly and also has built a pipe between the big river Medway and the Bewl Water reservoir so Bewl can be topped up from the river when the river is running very high.
As a result Bewl was at 94% capacity when the heatwave started and weeks later is at 90% now. No hosepipe bans here this year. We are being asked to be careful, but we are so used to being careful that it isn't a hardship. The lawn is dead, but will come again when it does rain. I am watering my new plants thoroughly twice a week and using waste water from washing up, etc in between.
Up in the north west of England the situation is very different. This is the wettest part of the country and the prolonged drought is unusual for them. It has also exposed years of mismanagement and underinvestment by the area water company up there; they got away with it because it is always raining there. There is a reason that The Lake District, the famous tourist area, has so many lakes! The reservoirs there are at 35-40% capacity and dwindling rapidly.

Water and waves. Looking great!
Just captured a hummingbird visiting our feeder. Just happened to have the iPad with me while taking other garden snaps.
Looks like it’s time to refill the feeder.

I saw on the BBC weather this evening that rain is forecast for most areas on Friday but you have a yellow warning for your area, Linda.So the UK heatwave continues and so does the drought.

Having said that we had a yellow warning last week and had a shower for 10 mins!
I am looking forward to a good drenching to help with those fires.
They are mainly under control but have been so widespread they are still smouldering and fires keep starting up again.
Our lovely hills are black and heard there are hundreds of dead birds
We have had cornfield fires reported on our local news tonight. No lives lost, but a stable block is looking like charcoalI saw on the BBC weather this evening that rain is forecast for most areas on Friday but you have a yellow warning for your area, Linda.

Good evening all.
It's been cooler and breezier here today but still very dry.
Looking forward to some rain on Friday.
The long school summer holidays start then so it should rain until September if other years are anything to go by.
