Man these things are so fun to watch, you just want to grab one and take it home. But seeing as how they would bite my hand off, I will stick with just taking photos of them.

I love them too...great shots! I took a bunch at the zoo last summer. I think they are adorable, but like you said, adorable from a distance!

I think it's funny how they're all just sitting and looking around

Love the first one. Nice set. TFS.

Very nice set. By far some of the best I have seen artistically from a zoo (I presume). Wonderful lighting, etc.

Thanks for the feedback on the set.

These guys are always on the lookout for predators, so they all take their turn looking in different areas. I find it kind of cool to photograph as it displays their personality (curious and cautious).
I took the photos at about 10am as the light was coming over the hill into their enclosure. They were warming up in the morning sun, so I just used the Ol Spot Meter and exposed the scene for their fur, letting the shadows create a nice backdrop.
So the sun was my strobe on this one.
