Some favorite Zoo snaps…

...made into luministic paintings by Nano Banana 2 (AI). A little while ago, thanks to Gemini AI, I discovered the beauty of luministic art. I have since then used it quite a bit on some of my favorite pictures. I started with some pictures of Arwen, and vacations in Austria, and now, I have been going through some of my favorite Zoo pictures to make AI generated "paintings" of them. (Nano Banana Pro 🍌 & Discovering “Luminism”). I only used my own photographs, made by me during my visits to Burgers' Zoo, throughout the years. When the original picture has already been uploaded to Flickr, I will do my best to add the links to those original pictures. I know people are against the use of AI, but I would not use it to steal any pictures of others. I don't want to make any money with this either. I just love how the filters look on some of my favorite (Zoo) pictures. […]

On 10/08/2013, my then partner and I visited Burgers' Zoo, in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
We were fortunate enough to spot the little tiger cubs in the distance, between the bamboo reeds. I had to use my simple tele-lens, but I think I got a few nice ones...

Fun fact: warthogs are the only pigs that have adapted to grazing and rooting while kneeling. Most animals have to bend their whole bodies down or have long necks to reach the ground, but warthogs have special calloused pads on their "wrists" (the carpal joints). These pads are there from the moment they are born! This allows them to shuffle along on their knees for hours, munching on short grass or digging for bulbs without hurting themselves.

Scrolling through my older Burgers' Zoo snaps, I saw this one, and I wanted to share it.
And I saw some info about the penguin's "action", so I'll share that here too.

Fun Fact: These penguins are famously nicknamed "Jackass penguins" because of the loud, donkey-like braying sound they make to communicate. Each penguin has a unique pattern of black spots on its chest, which researchers (and zoo keepers!) can use to identify individuals, much like a human fingerprint.
