After looking at the cats we got to go into another area and watch them eat. What an amazing sight. They feed them pre-killed white rabbits.

Thanks, comments always appreciated,

Well you folks had a great day by the looks of all these posts :D
Nice capture of the two lions running, usually at the Zoo in Melbourne they are just all sitting in the sun, then you might be lucky to see one walk the fence line boundary.
The Primates are my favourite too, a friend from work is going to go with me when I get back from America, she likes photography too, and is trying to learn all she can about her gear before she heads off to India in December.

Thanks again for sharing your day at the Zoo....... Skippy (Australia)

Thanks Skippy!!

It was about ten minutes til feeding time and the lions and tigers knew it. The female lion would go over to the door into their feeding area and grab ahold of it and start clanking it around. This would make the male mad so he would chase her off and then stand right by the gate waiting to get in. This went on until the zoo keeper came and opened up the gates.

After they ate they got let back in their yards and all layed down and took a nap.

Thanks for commenting,
