Ooh, flamingos! Those are strange but beautiful birds. Love the bear too. Good stuff Fred!

HI Fred - I really enjoy this series of yours .. the sloth has got to be the slowest animal in the planet .. I remember visiting the Milwaukee Zoo and I waited for this guy/girl to get to a certain branch .. it took so long I gave up on the shot... another outstanding presentation

Woodland Park looks like like an excellent zoo Fred, with a good variety of well cared for animals. I like all the pictures but choose the final one as my favourite for being so well composed and presented

Another wonderful set from the zoo Fred and I love them all. I know I had a great time at the zoo the other week. From todays excellent collection I will pick the bear up the tree. What was he looking for. Well done Fred, you found some great shots.

Dave.
