I'll be going to San Diego Zoo June 8th and possibly June 9th. As is fairly obvious I am indeed a huge hyena enthusiast, and with them keeping 2...
Panthera tigris.
Ceiba occasionally rubs her head against objects in her enclosure like this to scent mark them.
Ceiba taking a break from her nap to look up at the visitors.
Another brief moment of expression in resting felids photo I managed to capture, this time featuring the zoo's resident male lion, Ingozi. He'd...
I was a bit bummed that the Amur leopard cubs never came out at any point during this visit, but it was cool to see their father, Sampson.

Reka is always twitching her ears, which is really fun to capture.

This was captured right after the zoo opened, the only time throughout the entire visit that she was active. I was very lucky to be where I was...

I love how I was able to capture this at just the right moment so he looks like he's scowling. This shot always makes me think of Scar from The...
