p.1 #1 · San Diego Wild Animal Park


We have an annual pass to the San Diego Animal Zoo. This pass includes the Wild Animal Park so we took the kids down there this week to have a look see. Here are some of the shots from the day. I didn't catch all of the animals' names so you will have to excuse my poor species identification skills.

1) An Orange something something. Reminds me of a Picasso painting.

2) A Blue something or other

3) A Red Eye slick looking Crane of some sort.

4) A panning shot of a pair of Crowned Guinae Fowl.

5) While the zookeepers were looking the other way, the pair of Crowned Guinae Fowl made a run for the border. "We will seek political asylum in Mexico. Fly Mildred. Fly towards freedom!"

6) This Gorilla was quite the snob and kept his back turned to us.

7) African Deer. Much like our deer, cannot resist staring at headlights.

8 ) A Giraffe portrait, minus all the legginess.

9) A Long Horned White Face with a Black stripe down the middle something or other.

10 ) A Cheetah going zero miles per hour.

11) A 2 piece Cheetah McNuggets.

12) A scene right out of an African safari...sorta.

13) This guy was on loan from Petsmart.

14) A brown bird. (How do ya like that descriptive eloquence?)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3096/3083252215_6452242875_o.jpg

15) African Fish Eagle.

16) This parrot was quite the crooner. "Fly me to the moon..."

Thanks for looking and commenting.

You obviously know your birds better than Zoom! Great captions.

Hung, you did a wonderful on most of these to separate the animals from the park. Very well done.

Hung,

These are great stuffs. I don't remember when the last time we went there,probably more than 10 years ago. I like #4 for its sense of speed.
I hear that they now have "Cheetah Run" show in that you'll be able to capture
a cheetah chasing a decoy animal but they do it only on Saturdays and I think
they'll charge you an extra $75 and the reservation is required.

Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed the series, Hung. It isn't easy to hide the Zoo habitat in these type of shots, but you did a very good job. 5 and 6 are my favorites.
