This past weekend I made a trip out to the National Zoo to photograph some new baby animals. I can't post some of those photos until sometime next week. While I was there I photographed some of the other animals at the zoo. Here is a selection of some of my shots. These were all shot with my Canon 500mm f4 lens.
My first stop was to the outside yard of the Western Lowland Gorillas. This area has been under construction for the past couple of weeks and this was the first time they were back out in the yard.
Here is Kibibi riding on her mothers back. She is about 16 months old now.

After a visit to the gorillas I went over to Lion-Tiger hill to check out the big cats. Here is a shot of Luke who is expecting to be a father very soon. Nabba is currently off exhibit and lion cubs are expected sometime in the middle of this month.
Here is a photo of Shera, the other female lion, tearing into her enrichment bag.
Just over in the next yard is one of the Tigers.
The rest of the morning was spent with the new baby animals. I will post photos of them once I'm able to. If you are local to the DC area and want to learn more about the photoclub, just head on over to the FONZ Photoclub website to learn more.
