I'm slowly working through these. Here's part one of day two of my trip last August. They're all at a wildlife center, not in the wild, but I still found them interesting. Though yeah, there are bars in the way.

i absolutely want all those animals in my living room right now.

I... hope you have a large living room.

But the fox. I just can't get over how pretty they are.

OMG so cool! I love how in most of these you made the fence work with the picture. The one with the girl and the moose just staring at each other is particularly cute, though it's too bad there couldn't be more moose, because without the context I don't think I'd know that was a nose.

I also love the juxtaposition of the moose antlers and branches. It's a little funny but also aesthetically pleasing, which I think is difficult to pull off!

I think most of these require context, which is why I put in "doubles" for most of them. Although I guess with the girl, it's all three: you need to know it's a moose, and I like the last shot but I think it's better knowing she was feeding it before. But yeah, I could have backed up and got more moose.

The fox is the only one I included that's not actually working with the fence, but it's so freakin' pretty I couldn't resist. We can has?

They're so cute! The fox is beautiful. The beaver almost looks like he's rattling the fence and yelling "Let me out!" They actually all look really friendly; usually when I go to a zoo or animal park all of the animals are pretty far away from the fences.

Which is weird, because it's not really a zoo where they were raised there (I think). Most of them are there for rehabilitation or whatever. There's a Bald Eagle with one wing missing (he's not getting released, obviously). That sort of thing. But yeah, I guess they're really used to people feeding them and stuff.

Great pics as always, Ms. D. Foxes are pretty cool.

I think I like them for being some weird combination of cats and dogs, somehow. Thank you!

Those are amazing, incredible pictures.

But it still makes me sad to see the bars :-(

Thank you. I know; zoos are sad places. But if you follow the link to the facility, they say the animals are either rehabilitated and set free or given a home if that's not possible.
