Nicely isolated from their restrictions.

Thanks, John. The Guinea Fowl roam throughout the zoo freely, usually in a small flock of 4-8 individuals. They are almost constantly being chased by children.

Really nice series of images. Sharp with lots of detail.

Thanks, Nandakumar. My favorite is the one of the rhinoceros.

Nice shots, especially the rhino and croc. The rhino's face from this angle is curiously reminiscent of a tortoise!

Perhaps rename #4 Sleeping Crocodile.

All good but possibly cropped just a fraction on the tight side? If there isn't anything which has to be excluded, a tiny bit of extra space would 'relax' the scenes.

Thanks for the comment Geoff F. I admit that I have a tendency to "over-crop" because I favor "head shots," even of animals! I have to work more on composing my photos to include more of a natural frame around the subject.

Very nice set... You have achieved the paramount aim in zoo photography, good shots without an obvious enclosure background...
