Hovatter's Zoo (Pt.1)

[Flying Panda]

My wife & I visited Hovatter's Zoo in Kingwood West Virginia today for the first time and it was nice. I haven't been to a zoo since around 10 years old. I don't actually call zoo pictures wildlife photography but I thought it would be nice to share the images of some of these animals with you folks. Most all of the images in this Part 1 are closeups. Thanks for viewing!

The Chipmunk is a freeloader. He was spotted just outside the main entrance.

I'm partial to number two, but number four looks like if you take one more step he's going to whup some ass!

Nice set. Framing, zooming, lighting aside, there's something special about each pic, I like them all equally well.

Thanks guys! We had a lot of fun and we were impressed with the fact that with some select animals the zoo allowed visitors to handle, feed and pet them.

I really like #3 a lot. The fence is totally out of your control, but the lighting, colors, and expression on the little guys face are just great.
