Zoo photos!! (10 more added, #21, +2 extra pics for Edwina's Secretary!)

Thought I'd share some photos of a recent zoo visit. The zoo of Hannover is very beautiful and has large, natural-looking environments for most of the animals, and you don't see many cages. The have niced themes, like "Sambesi" (African section), and the "Jungle Palace" (for the elephants). Very beautiful and a paradise for photographers. And rottie girl Emma was with us and had a blast!

Hope you enjoy my shots:

Thanks! :) I'm actually very happy with the results, as I did not test my camera in situations like this before. It's a Canon Powershot S2.

Kirsten

Ehm... well, yes.... :o I swear I did not see what he was doing up there on his tree; I took the photo with zoom 12x. LOL; maybe should have posted a warning, PG-18 or something like that... LOL

Kirsten

I knew these would be good, simply because you took them but MAN! These are GREAT!

OMG..they are amazing. Please, please, please can you PM the elephant ones to me...I love elephants and they would make excellent screen savers! (only if you don't mind that is)

Wow, why you don't do this professionaly, I don't know but, they are
all excellent. :) I loved them all. Is that a Meerkat in the first picture?
Emma sure looks fascinated by it all. :D

Thank you everyone! :) But I have to say, these animals were great models, some of them really seem to know how to pose for a photo! :)

Babyboonie, I pm'ed you. :)

lizbud: yes, it's a meerkat, I just love those little guys! :)

Kirsten

Wonderful Pictures.I love the grafee(sp?)picture.

It's beautiful. I love Meerkats too :)
A zoo that accepts dogs is not very common. Emma was very interested by the visit :)

WOW!! what great pics!!! I wish our local zoo was like that, but it is just a small one. Awsome that they allow dogs as well!
