A bit of a 'cheat' zoo shot here. The keepers were exercising a 4 day old Chilean Flamingo chick they are hand-rearing, so I got to see him/her outside the enclosure.

Second is a peacock with chick. Peacocks roam free at the Denver zoo, but are definitely part of the zoo inhabitants.

Non chick shots. I use a macro a lot. Interestingly perhaps the 100mm macro and fisheye are my favorite aquarium lenses.

Stellar Sea Eagle. Through wire with the 135L. Had to PP the wire out of the OOF areas. Even if it doesn't affect the in-focus part the bokeh is really nasty.

Lions Basel Zoo

I would like to share some pictures of lion cubs of the Basel Zoo in Switzerland. As most of the cats they are often lazy (around 20 hours a day), sleeping, taking a nap, lying on a rock, sleeping again...
but sometimes especially the cubs play all together, sometimes one on one. Maybe I should call picture lion003 new as: lion sandwich! I love the expression on the face of the one looking into the camera. ;)
