    Some great leopard shots there. The ring ins aren't too shabby either. I like the gorilla shot. Something nice about it.

    Beautiful Marc clap.gif
    The Snow Leopards look great.
    The one's at the Melbourne Zoo are hard to photograph because of their not so nice enclosure.

    Love the Primates clap.gif and the Croc.

    Thanks for sharing thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    I think the LA Zoo can learn a thing or two from your zoo,
    it almost seems like these were taken in the wild.
    Great capture as usualthumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
