I want to thank all the people I learned to know over Deviantart and met once or several times at zoos and had a wonderful time with them!
Thank you both

and

for the fun times we spent together at Zoo Duisburg, Dolfinarium Harderwijk and other places like Burgers Zoo.
You have become 2 of my most important friends, which means a lot to me.

Thank you

for the great time 2009 at Zoo Duisburg and ZOOM Gelsenkirchen. I am grateful for the regular updates on Tamina at Jihlava. (and your watchful eye on art thieves)

Thank you

for the awesome time in 2008 at Zoo + Tierpark Berlin and the weekend 2011 at Zoo Duisburg

Thank you

and

for the great time this year at Zoo Duisburg. I will especially keep in mind the "day of the biodiversity" at Zoo Duisburg.

There are people dear to me who I never met, but who changed my life in an important way, drawing my attention towards dolphins and whales, their life in dolphinaria and the wild and their protection!
So Thank you for raising my awareness and change of mind about dolphins in dolphinaria

Without you I would not be visiting Zoo Duisburg weekly now, having so much fun!

And thank you pequeno hermano,

for sharing my love for dolphins, animals and zoos with me (and exchanging photos via msn)!

I am so so glad I joined Deviantart in 2005. It changed my life in many good ways.
