If there’s one thing I love, it’s wild animals in captivity. Fortunately, the San Diego Wild Animal park isn’t too far away, so we recently took Sam there. I also took the opportunity to borrow a telephoto camera lens from a friend and try it out on subjects while still out of beak’s reach. Here are the results:

My favorite shots are this one and this one of a big balloon that you could ride up (for $15!). I just like the contrast of yellow baloon on sky and the simple shape. As far as animals go, this one of a meerkat and this one of some bird turned out pretty good.
Also I’ll point out that now that I have ample storage space, I’ll probably be posting more non-Samantha photographs in the Photographs section.
What great photos! My favorites are the birds (great detail on their feathers and the colors) and the lion. What the heck is the animal on the bottom row in the middle photo?
I think that’s called a “satyr.” Or some kind of pygmey deer.
It freaks me out.
Professor: Who are those horrible orange creatures over there?
Glermo: Why those are the Grunka Lunkas. They work here in the Slurm factory.
Professor: Tell them I hate them.
Awecome!
