EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in June 1914 at the London Zoo, two young visitors are seen meeting a tame Striated Caracara. The image captures a beautiful moment of connection between humans and wildlife, showcasing the wonders of nature's harmony. The boys' faces beam with delight as they interact with the friendly bird, their smiles mirroring each other's joy. It is evident that this encounter has left an indelible mark on their young hearts. The innocence and curiosity radiating from their expressions remind us of the pure wonderment we often experience when encountering animals up close. The Striated Caracara stands confidently amidst these children, its gentle nature apparent as it allows them to touch its feathers. This remarkable bond between human and animal transcends barriers, reminding us of our shared existence on this planet. This photograph not only captures a precious moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the importance of zoos in fostering connections between people and wildlife. It highlights how such encounters can inspire awe, ignite passion for conservation efforts, and instill a deep respect for all living creatures. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured by Frederick William Bond over a century ago, we are reminded that even in our modern world, where technology dominates our lives, there is still magic to be found in simple moments like these – moments that bridge gaps between species and leave lasting imprints on our souls.
