The End Is In Sight

No, this isn't a zebra. Let's see who can be the first to
correctly identify this animal...


other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice close crop. Great abstract.

Looks like a zebra to me!

Darn, now I've read the comments and saw that Carmen figured it out. Good job Carmen. Neat shot, Gary.
Gayle P. Clement30-Oct-2004 23:52
Is it a tiger, Gary? Whatever it is, what an unusual perspective.
Jude Marion29-Oct-2004 11:14
Hmmm ... well it doesn't have a white stripe down its tail, so it ISN'T a skunk!
I dunno ...!
Karen Leaf29-Oct-2004 03:25
Whoa, have never seen such an animal. (This is a really weird picture as I'm sitting looking at the thumb. Squint a little and imagine you've never seen this beast before..) Great shot!

Great shot! Love how the black fades into the background. Very nicely done.

Great shot Gary , wonderful markings .
Guest 28-Oct-2004 18:28
Or maybe a white feather against a black background... very nice
Guest 28-Oct-2004 18:27
This is fantastic Gary. From the thumbnail I thought it was some crazy white fern-like plant with leaves spreading out to either side. Well done!
Pepe Zyman28-Oct-2004 16:34
Gary, are you sure?
It looks like the Tijuana donkey on Revolucion :^)
Gary Winters28-Oct-2004 15:16
Russ, no, but I do take advantage of my membership! It's paid for itself many times over now! And, as Robin says, the Zoo is a target-rich environment!
Gary Winters28-Oct-2004 15:15
Herb, actually this one lives in the original San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park. He's housed near the tiger exhibits, right next door to the rhino. I waited and waited and waited for him to turn around, but he wouldn't, so I had to settle for a picture of his backside!
Guest 28-Oct-2004 15:12
This is a excellent picture!!
Guest 28-Oct-2004 14:52
A package of Fruit Strip gum?? Nice shot, Gary! Seriously, do you work at a zoo??
Guest 28-Oct-2004 14:25
Wonderful shot! I like how the black lines blend with the background and creates a wierd abstract. It's like one of those optical illusions where you can see two things in one image depending on which you focus on. Very neat indeed!
Robin Reid28-Oct-2004 14:14
Okapi! Very terrific finish on this one GW!
Guest 28-Oct-2004 13:07
Excellent image Gary!!! Perfect execution.
Gary Blanchette28-Oct-2004 13:03
Man it has been ages since I have been to the Wild Animal Park. I understand it has really changed.
Herb 28-Oct-2004 12:13
And here is the other side

Okapi, San Diego Wild Animal Park. Interesting point of view.
Good shot.
René Gysi28-Oct-2004 10:36
Interesting shot. Nice contrast.
Wenche Aune28-Oct-2004 08:36
Excellent shot.
Argishti Khachik28-Oct-2004 07:30
What ever it is, this is a excellent shot Gary. Like it very much!
Great lines and contrast.
cheers
Guest 28-Oct-2004 06:41
Oh MAN!! I really thought it was a Zebracorn!!!
Gary Winters28-Oct-2004 06:36
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner here! Carmen is right! Although a zebracorn is a great idea! ;-)
Carmen28-Oct-2004 06:33
Okapi!
Guest 28-Oct-2004 06:25
I still would say it's a zebra. Anyway I like it a lot!
Guest 28-Oct-2004 06:20
