Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist

Zoo Day (Rehab15)

I took my brother to Australia Zoo for his birthday and it was the first time we’d been. It’s a great, fun place, and so big to give the animals plenty of space to roam and play. These are a couple of my favourites from the day.

For Photo101 Rehab (do check it out), I’ve put the technical details on the photo captions.

    Great shots. I love the komodo varans/dragons (or whatever they are) and the elephant.

    Wow my lovely, you surely know how to get these animals under your command. Awesome photos. The tiger is a charmer. The iguanas are super cute. And the rosy sneaky one is fab. What’s the name. Sorry. City girl…xx

          He was tough to shoot – it was quite a dark spot inside the rainforest section and he was bobbing up and down, darting in and out of the leaves. So cute 🙂
