Well, of all these the second in particular does NOT suggest you had to photograph through two fences! That one looks like you were right there, eye in eye with the puma that is coming up on you --- me???? :shock:

And then it even bares its teeth at us! Whoa! (Very nice capture!!!)

May I take the wolf-photo to give it to my daughter? She so loves wolves, and I don't think she's ever seen any in a relaxed position such as this one.

Great shots raymond, such marvelous animals to view. Must have been quite the thrill for daisy to see them, I know I do everytime I see such creatures. Looks like you caught the cougar in a private moment in the first.

Very nice! I love big cat pictures. They are so adorable. I love the upclose face picture and the one under it.

Two fences and you managed to get such good photo's? Very impressed. Love the close up, and the one showing us his teeth.

Thanks again everyone!

Jon,, I have known of these places we go for years, I just never got there.. having Daisy here, and motivated to show her around got me off my a**.. hehehe., We are now searching the net for other wildlife natural settings, many bird watchers post threads in similar forums as this one.
