Post your favorite (or best) zoo pictures!

I really liked the other post your best threads and thought it would be interesting to see everyone's perspective on zoo photos. Hopefully there will be some takers. Here is my contribution, a two headed giraffe.


Taken with XSi, 85mm lens, 1/320 secat f2.5, iso 200.

How's this for pulling a thread out of the archives!


Actually, I even took these photos last year but I've been spending an awful lot of time going through old photos. Now that I have learned a tad more about post-processing, I was able to pull the first shot out of the deep dark shadows and the second shot out of the over-exposed sunshine. At least it looks better than I could have done last year!

Slow day for me, chained to a computer... I'm not sure if it's my best or favorite, but they're the most recent. Taken while attending a birthday party at the National Zoo. All are through glass.

This one is of my sister playing with one of her mates at the zoo she works at as a zoologist. His name is Snappy Tom and he's a 4.5m Australian Saltwater Crocodile.
