The stamp above was issued in June 2014, in order to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Parc Zoologique de Paris (France), and its reopening after more than 2 years of works. The species represented are a lemur, a jaguar, a flamingo and a giraffe.
Issued on 14 August 2015, to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of St. Petersburg's Zoo.
The stamp below was issued in 2013, also to celebrate the 100 years of Burger's Zoo in Arnhem (the Netherlands). Looking at the species pictured on the stamp, I discovered extra z: It is a zwartvoetpinguin (Spheniscus demersus, 'black-footed penguin'), from Zuid-Afrika (South Africa).
Thanks for coming along this round of Sunday Stamps A-Z. I hope you have enjoyed it!
Fantastic zoo stamp, and two amazing z animals from the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing another A to Z series.
Thanks, and congratulations to you, too!
DeleteAre you planning to do the next round, too?
I am going to give it a try.
DeletePhillip ,en février 2018 tu avais posté un de mes courriers et il y avait le timbre du parc zoologique de Paris :) J'adore votre A to Z série et j'espère que vous allez recommencer !Moi aussi j'aime beaucoup les timbres sur les animaux! Merci à vous deux de nous faire découvrir tous ces jolis thèmes au travers du timbre poste !
DeleteI remember - so nice to see this great stamp again.
DeleteMerci, fafa!
DeleteCongratulations on finishing such an interesting A to Z stamps series!
ReplyDeleteAnd how nice to see this finish showing one of my favourite subjects (Animals, so maybe this Z -> A is the start of a new series :-) )
Thank you for all your efforts to find and post new stamps each week - it is a joy to see!
I couldn't do so without your help. A lot of nice stamps have been sent by you, Heleen! For instance, two of this post :)
DeleteI think it would be hard to do A to Z without *your* help. Thanks for all the interesting stamps.
DeleteWe have evened the score... ;)
DeleteI just counted and 9 of the 26 entries were stamps from you - wow, I didn't think it was that many.
DeleteAnd 6 or 7 of my entries contained stamps you sent... I guess we need to keep sending letters for the next round ;)
DeleteMy pleasure! And I agree: let's keeping on sending mail :-)
DeleteThis is a nice menagerie of stamps for Z
ReplyDelete(looked up zwartvoetpinguin and he is also known as a jackass penguin - black footed is much more civilized a name!)
Jackass because of the braying noise they make.
DeleteOui comme le verbe jacasser : parler beaucoup et fort et le second sens c'est le cri de la pie !
DeleteLove penguins and that one is gorgeous. I like the seal which looks like its almost posing for its photograph. Congratulations on all the Zs.
ReplyDeleteIt is a cute seal, isn't it?
DeleteA glorious end to the round with animals and birds to add some extra 'Zs' - well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting along the A to Z round. I hope I¡ll see you again in the next!
