Breeding Male Mallard
Mallards are large ducks with hefty bodies, rounded heads, and wide, flat bills. Like many “dabbling ducks” the body is long and the tail rides high out of the water, giving a blunt shape. In flight their wings are broad and set back toward the rear.
Male Mallards have a dark, iridescent-green head and bright yellow bill. The gray body is sandwiched between a brown breast and black rear. Females and juveniles are mottled brown with orange-and-brown bills. Both sexes have a white-bordered, blue “speculum” patch in the wing.
Mallards are “dabbling ducks”—they feed in the water by tipping forward and grazing on underwater plants. They almost never dive. They can be very tame ducks especially in city ponds, and often group together with other Mallards and other species of dabbling ducks.
Mallards can live in almost any wetland habitat, natural or artificial. Look for them on lakes, ponds, marshes, rivers, and coastal habitats, as well as city and suburban parks and residential backyards.

Gorgeous Great white pelican
A large white waterbird with a hefty bill and a yellow-orange throat pouch. Note the pink bare skin around eye that extends towards the bill. Young birds have browner overall relative to adults with brown upper wings and a brown head. Legs are pink. In flight shows dark flight feathers which contrast with the rest of the wing, in the Spot-billed Pelican only the 'hand' is dark. Often seen fishing cooperatively, swimming in a wide arc to round up the fish and then scoop them into their pouch.

Barbary Sheep Taking Sand Bath
It's a upnormal moment when I saw these Barbary Sheep taking Sand Bath in the Zoo. I think they did this because of the hot weather so they try to decrease the body's heat with the water on the ground.
They are most active at dawn and dusk and try to stay in the shade and shelter during the heat of the day.
The Barbary sheep looks like a mix between a sheep and a goat. It is stocky, with short legs and a long face. This sheep is about 80 to 100cm tall at the shoulder and they weigh between 40 to 140kg. Their horns can reach up to 50cm in length. Its coat is a sandy-brown colour but darkens as the animal ages. It is woolly during the winter but moults to a finer, sleek coat for the hot summer months.
Both males and females have horns that sweep backwards and outwards in an arch, although those of the male are much thicker, longer and heavily ridged.
One of the most distinguishable features about the Barbary sheep is the long, vertical fringe of hair that goes from the throat down to the upper part of the front legs. On the males, this is longer and almost touches the ground.
