In Danger of Extinction

This is another lamb of the 'Woodlandsheep': that's my translation of the Dutch name of the breed: "Houtlandschaap". When the lambs are born, their fleece may be brown, but later on their body turns white and only the head and legs will have brown spots. Ten years ago, the breed 'Houtlandschaap' was in danger of extinction, and I suppose it still is. It has been declared 'living heritage' of Flanders.
This one was born in one of the nature reserves round Bruges and it is now at Hoeve Hangerijn, together with other sheep and lambs of the breed, as you can see in the preceding photos.

"Endangered elegance"

A northern helmeted curassow or paují copete de piedra in Spanish (Pauxi pauxi, Cracidae) perched on a rail at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin.

The helmeted curassow is restricted in the wild to the rugged cloud forests of north-central and western Venezuela and northeastern Colombia. This endangered bird's population is in decline.

The bony protrusion or casque on the bird's head is thought to resemble a medieval metal war helmet or a rock or stone.

I got a glimpse of a paují in Parque Nacional Henri Pittier in Venezuela in 1985. Unfortunately it was a very brief sighting. I was happy to see this one in Madison, Wisconsin. (The Henry Vilas Zoo is a fine little zoo.)
