A gerenuk… which is a very odd looking creature that mostly reminds me of the reindeer in the old Rudolph movie. Not exactly sure why. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/1000 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 1600
Duh… Dum… Duh… Dum… Hippo. I wish the nearer eye was open, but it was not taking requests. From Animal Kingdom back in 2006 when I first had a fancy camera and long lens. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/1000 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 1600

This is the same Victoria Crowned Pigeon from before, just another shot of it, apparently with a shutter speed of 1/20 of a second, which seems ridiculous. I must have moved by the exact same amount and direction as the bird for this to have come out even view-able. Picture… Continue reading
This was one of the under-gorillas – not sure if it was male or female. I’m not completely sure what variety of gorilla these were, but my best guess is that they were Western Lowland Gorillas. They look different than those in the Lincoln Park Zoo – more red-brown and… Continue reading
How’s ’bout we have some animal pictures for a bit? Yes, that sounds like a plan. This is a canary gorilla from Animal Kingdom back in 2006 when I first had a fancy camera and long lens. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/500 sec shutter,… Continue reading
I’m just calling this one “Grumpy Bird” also from Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 200mm, 1/160 sec shutter, f/5.6, ISO 1600
