Man, what a day... Been to two zoos today. Getting eaten by lemurs is always worth it though!

And for some reason everyone was looking to the left side of the frame today.

Beautiful set, I really like the second tiger shot in the first set, nicely composed with him in the water

I honestly love every single one of these, but my favorite has to be the bird.

I love how detailed you can see the eyes. I find eyes so fascinating with animals, especially birds because us humans never get to really see the details up close.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks a lot!
Yes, I love animal eyes as well. They are fascinating! They are similar to ours but yet so different.
But which bird did you mean exactly? The marabou stork or the secretarybird?

More eyes:

Here is a video of what they sound like when they are howling like he or she is in the last one:

These are also the same red ruffed lemurs as those in my photos here, the video was shot in the same zoo! It's not my video though, it's just to show what they sound lile.

Nice set! By far the best zoo shots I've seen on here since I've been a member.

 

[Mattis]

Oh my, thanks a lot! :O That means a lot to me!

Top notch pictures well done

Not my best day today... Every critter was asleep or not very active and my gear didn't really want to play along as well. Oh well, I guess I still got some decent results.

Finally got him coming out of his stump:

Good stuff. Thank you for sharing.

Well done (applause) hard to pick a favorite but I really like the Lynx coming out of the fallen tree.

These are all great. Good job!
