The Wilds is a very large wildlife refuge here in Ohio that works specifically with animals that are endangered. They are like a zoo, only the animals are not in a pen they are allowed to free roam in very large fenced in pastures. As a visitor you take a safari ride and are driven out into the pastures and can see these animals up close and personal. A very educational day spent with my wife and daughter. Also a great chance to use the Tamron 200-500 lens I got from Raphy. :barb

    Nice images Carl. My suggestion would be to leave a little more room in your photos. They are cropped pretty tight and don't give your subject room to move. :)
