  • Nba Announces Affiliations with Nba Development League for 2010-11 Season
    NBA ANNOUNCES AFFILIATIONS WITH NBA DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE FOR 2010-11 SEASON - Dallas Mavericks Begin Affiliation with Frisco-Based Texas Legends - NEW YORK , July 6, 2010 – The National Basketball Association and the NBA Development League, the official minor league of the NBA, today announced the affiliation system for the 2010-11 season, including first-time affiliations between the Dallas Mavericks and the Frisco-based Texas Legends, new to the NBA D-League for the 2010-11 season; the Los Angeles Lakers and the Bakersfield Jam; the Golden State Warriors and the Reno Bighorns; and the Orlando Magic and the New Mexico Thunderbirds. For the sixth consecutive year, each NBA team has one NBA D-League affiliate to which it may assign players in their first or second NBA season. “The direct affiliation between NBA and NBA D-League teams continues to benefit players, coaches, and basketball fans," said Dan Reed, NBA D-League President. "Nearly one-third of all NBA Draft picks have played for their NBA D-League affiliate since the program's inception, and these affiliate relationships are a key reason why 20 percent of all NBA players have NBA D-League playing experience." Entering the sixth year of direct affiliations between NBA and NBA D-League, a number of teams continue to build on strong affiliation relationships developed over past seasons. The Washington Wizards begin their fifth year as the parent club of the Dakota Wizards (Bismarck, N.D.), while the Minnesota Timberwolves and Sioux Falls Skyforce (S.D.) have also been affiliated since the 2006-07 season.

  • Press Release: the End of An
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 26, 2021 Media Contact: [email protected] The End of an Era: Abilene Zoo Mourns Loss of Male Lion Abilene, Tx - The Abilene Zoo is saddened to share news of the passing of its male lion, Botswana, on March 25th. The senior lion was humanely euthanized after a severe loss of mobility due to a suspected stroke in the overnight or early morning hours of the 25th. Botswana would have celebrated his 19th birthday June 23rd. "Losing an animal is never easy," said Zoo Veterinarian Dr. Stephanie Carle, "Knowing our staff did all that was possible to help Botswana live a long life and pass with dignity brings us peace." Zoo staff had been closely watching and managing Botswana’s health as he aged. A physical exam conducted last week revealed the senior lion’s kidney disease and dental concerns had progressed significantly. Botswana was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease approximately 3 years ago, and had developed high blood pressure and other conditions associated with it. Chronic kidney disease is one of the most common aging abnormalities of both exotic and domestic cats. "Animal care staff pour their hearts into caring for all of the animals daily, and it is like losing a family member when it is time to say goodbye. Our team has prepared for this day because we knew that Botswana was reaching the end of his life due to his advanced age," said General Curator and Animal Care Manager Denise Ibarra. "We truly mourn the loss of the animals we come to love, and Botswana will forever be a part of the Abilene Zoo." Botswana was born June 23, 2002, and outlived the average 16-year life expectancy of lions in Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited zoos by nearly 3 years.

  • Companion Guide For: Glassgiraffes… Dukeblowing and His Family Tree Natural History Glass Blowing
    conservation Companion Guide for: glassGiraffes… Dukeblowing and His Family Tree natural history glass blowing REPRODUCTION n Female giraffes will cycle, or ovulate, about every 3 weeks. The male will sniff the urine of a female using its mouth, called a flehmen response, to detect any pheromones or hormones that indicate a female is cycling. If the female is cycling, they will attempt to mate. n Gestation lasts between 400-460 days (about 13-15 months). The female gives birth standing up, and the calf will fall roughly 5 feet. The drop will jolt the young giraffe awake and stimulate the lungs to begin breathing. The calf is able to stand within 30 minutes of being born. n A male giraffe’s coloration will sometimes become darker as they age, and their ossicones become noticeably lumpier through calcification. This is very noticeable in Duke’s coloration and ossicones. EXTENDED FAMILY TREE OF THE JACKSONVILLE ZOO AND GARDENS GIRAFFES n Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens has had giraffes since 1960, and currently has a herd of 7 giraffe. n Once a giraffe at the zoo reaches sexual maturity, it may be sent to another Zoo for a few reasons: • To ensure there is only one breeding male in the giraffe herd Only one male breeds at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens in order to prevent fighting between males, and to be sure of the offspring’s father. • The Species Survival Plan (SSP) will recommend that a giraffe may be sent to another zoo. These transfers ensure a genetically diverse and viable population of giraffes in accredited zoos across the country and prevent inbreeding within a single facility.
