What a great way to spend a morning. While the animals may not always be co-operative subjects, (especially the big cats), one can always return to try again. In addition to the animals, there is that special wonder on kids faces (and in thier voices) when they see thier first wild animal in person. So if you do take that stroll through the zoo, intent on capturing some special images of the animals, keep your ears and eyes open for the show provided by the people.
All photos were taken with an Olympus C-750 with the majority using the C-210 1.9x teleconverter.
