The Saddest Eyes

Another shot from the Wild Animal Park. We stopped by the Gorilla section and i know that the Zoo and Wild Animal Park do a great job of care taking certain species to ensure their survival but they always look so, so sad. They really do belong in a jungle on a mountain top. But then again, people just hunt and kill them there.

While walking around the San Diego Wild Animal Park we had a close encounter with a wild deer that had gotten into the grounds and was just wondering around the park eating the plants. I hope it kept clear of the lions, tigers and cheetahs :)

Thirst

In Whipsnade Wild Animal Park they've got free roaming Maras. I was quietly sitting on the grass, trying to get a good picture of a resting one, when it suddenly stand up and went away looking in my direction. But I hadn't done anything to disturb it.
I turned around and saw three elephants passing me very closely. Two keepers were taking them on a walk. They got a little drink at the tap and grazed afterwards on the same grass I was sitting on. A bit later one elephant moved to the tap again and opened it to get some more water.
(Of course I was surprised being so close to such big animals, but I stayed calm and handled the whole situation like a professional photographer.)
