Lovely shots CGS. MyY fave is the second one even though I can't remember its name. I believe it's in the same family as the capybara and agouti but can't be sure. Superb focusing, which lens was that with? I am guessing the 70-200mm lens that you list in your Gear.

The tiger is also superbly focused, maybe just a tad tight on the cropping but stunning sharpness all over.

Really good work, well done

Cheers,
Rob

ps Which safari park was this? Woburn is close t you so am just guessing it could be there but maybe elsewhere?

Its a ( pretty sure) Patagonian Mara
All taken with the 70-200 at Whipsnade zoo
The Tiger is uncropped it really was that close, but the other side of a glass panel thankfully

Ah, Whipsnade, having lived in Dunstable, just down the road from the Downs, I should have guessed that LOL. Lovely shots all three, I really must give Whippy a visit next time I get up that way. I tend to visit Longleat more than any other as it is closest to me.

Cheers,
Rob

Very nice set of shots CGS

I thought this looked like Whipsnade, it was the Rhino paddock and the Mara gave it away to me. I'm looking forward to going back there a bit later in the year.

Here's a shot I got of the Rhino's last year (or maybe the year before that, I forget)... I wonder if they're the same one's in your shot, baby should be grown up a good bit by now
