Beautiful shot, MrFotoFool.

Indeed, beautiful shot, MrFotoFool.

I've been to that same zoo a couple of times, but I've never managed to find any activity from those snow leopards. So all I have is pictures of them sleeping ... lazy cats :

I waited all day for this shot. I had gone to Zurich specifically for snow leopards, got to the exhibit right after 9am opening, and they kept resting on the far right side all day. I left and went back a couple times but it was not until 3pm that they crossed the exhibit from right to left and I got this shot.

Recently I was in England and received a private tour of the Rare Species Conservation Centre. They really do have a lot of rarities (animals not typically seen in zoos). Are there any animal connoisseurs out there who can identify this one?

Not certain, but it looks like a narrow-striped mongoose to me.

We have a winner! Also known as narrow-striped boky or boky boky.

Really nice. I have never thought of macro work for an aquarium. Is that a fish?

thanx!
It's an octopus. For some reason the light in the tank is blue so it comes out like that.

The color of the lions was incredible. They are usually so dull, but this is almost straight out of the camera.

The tiger in that "open zoo" is bolted to the floor with a chain around its neck. That is not the kind of place I would want to support.
