Thanks for the comments 8)
(I'm getting better photos, but still have a ways to go 😀
Mike ~ Those were with a Nikon D300S, and a 20 year old Tamron 70-300mm lens.
Was shooting through the cage bars, so there is some "ghosting" around the edges.

I'm glad he didn't ask you that again 😉
How do you get pics of the lions,tigers(guess they didn't have bears?) with no fence or bars,are they just out in the open,
can you pet them?

Jim, They have bears too, just haven't got to those photos yet 😀
The lions & tigers were behind bars, so it was a combination of shooting through the little squares and cropping, also using a telephoto lens and defocusing the bars out of the frame helped.

That's cool!
I figured you didn't pet them,it takes 2 hands to operate a camera(decent one)
as far as I know 😉
Still,it does look like your right up next to them-very pretty place.
