<8th Dec Thus>
ネトフリでハリー＆メーガン
が始まり、絶対嫌な気分になるので観たくもないのですが、観ないわけにもいかないでしょうから観始めました。でも、あまりに退屈で居眠りしてしまい
、何度も戻ったりしてえらく時間が掛かり、公開された３話のうち２話しか制覇できてません（来週以降も続くようです）。すでにうんざりなのですが
、明日又兆戦します。
しかし、存続の危機ということでは、英王室より日本の皇室の方が危ないのでは？

ロンドン動物園から悲しいニュースが届きました
。
生後6ケ月くらいの三頭いたトラの子供のうち、メスのインカちゃんが昨日急死したと・・
。
目撃者はいないのですが、親トラがおそらく仕付けのために頭を叩いたところ、当り所が悪かったのが原因だろうという事です。去年の年末に三頭の赤ちゃんトラを安楽死させ、その後無事に産まれて順調に育っていたのに・・
。

結局私は一度しか三頭揃っているところに遭遇してないですが,
トーチャンはあと二回見てます。
動物園の赤ちゃんと言えば、Whipsnade Zooで最近キリンの赤ちゃんが生まれたので見に行きたくて、明日は他に予定がないしお天気良さそうなのですが、最高予想気温3度という寒さでだだっ広い園内を歩くのは無理かな。
動物園からの訃報
We are writing with sad news that one of our three Sumatran tiger cubs has passed away unexpectedly this week.
We know many of you have been to visit the cubs and would want to hear this from us as soon as possible. For those of you bringing children to the zoo regularly we also hope this gives you the chance to talk to them about it before your next visit if you need to.
Inca, one of three cubs born in June to parents Asim and Gaysha, was discovered dead in the Tiger Territory enclosure on Wednesday morning.
She had been seen playing happily with the rest of her family earlier that morning with no evidence of illness or injury.
Shortly after the tigers went into the outdoor paddock after breakfast as usual, keepers doing their standard checks saw Inca lying unmoving behind a log. They immediately called the tigers inside and made their way into the enclosure, but she had already died.
Nobody saw what happened, but the physical evidence suggests Inca was likely injured by a single swipe from another tiger. It’s not uncommon for tiger parents to give cubs a warning swipe in the course of normal parenting, but sadly this caught Inca in a delicate area of the skull, and she is thought to have died instantly.
We are sorry to share such sad news this close to Christmas. Our keepers are naturally devastated by this accident so please be kind if you see them at the exhibit on your next visit.
They will be keeping a close eye on Asim, Gaysha, and remaining cubs Zac and Crispin over the coming days.
