Running free!!!! to right they were , infact there was 3 of them chewing at the braided brake hose on the car in front of us, and 2 having a good go at trying to open the rear wheel cover on a 4x4 at the side of us!!!

the only animals that were behind a fence was the white tiger, had to shoot that one through the fence

A fab set, for me it had to be the white tiger. These are such a fab cat, one of my fav. The one i saw was in colchester zoo, he was called Sasha.

The zebra i do like Good DOF. Also good use of light. Where abouts is this park?

Hi Jason this is a great series of wildlife park photos. I agree with Manda the white tiger and the use of light on the zebra are great photos.
