Absolutely stunning pictures!Our Zoo is finally about to reopen after 3 months and I have been doing a little promo photography for the advertising. here is a small selection(very small compared to what I have been shooting) for you to enjoy. These three were a few of the more 'artistic' shots as opposed to the standard promo shotsView attachment 191075View attachment 191076View attachment 191077
Our local zoo opened up again after a really long preiod of COVID lockdowns and only short gaps of openings.
Our children were more interested in rushing through from enclosure to enclosure and ending up at the playground.
So for me it was more a fast snapshot summary but I still got some nice ones.
Here's the first batch

I can understand that the same setup of species gets boring eventually.Nice! Regrettably I haven't been to a zoo since I took the snow leopard picture on the prior page. Our local zoo is in a magnificent setting, but the selection of animals doesn't seem to have changed in about 50 years.
I can understand that the same setup of species gets boring eventually.
I have the advantage that for several years I support our local zoo in a friends' association which gives me access to an annual pass.
So I have chance and the time to go there, to focus on a few species and stay there for a longer time - of course that is only possible without my children that don't have the patience and passion.
But if you stay at one enclosure for some time you can see a lot of action and special behaviour.
And if you ask the staff in advance as preparation you'll get the information what time of day is the best to come for action.
And I always had the great experience that if they have the time they are tell a lot of stories if you kindly show your interest in "their pets".
To me it is great that I can go there again at all after all that lockdowns.
That was a really funny story... What was more interesting was the local photo shop asking me if I my photographs were of them in the wild. They're very elusive and you have to get up into the very high parts of Asia, not a trivial trip. It's much easier to see, say, Komodo dragons in the wild.

Because of the cold temperatures here, the two lion cubs have to stay inside.wikipedia said:The Asiatic lion currently exists as a single subpopulation, and is thus vulnerable to extinction from unpredictable events, such as an epidemic or large forest fire.
