In Newquay others prefer to lounge around

Much more demure is the wild animal found in my garden

Treasured - Thematic Photography

When we visited Detroit Zoo last week I discovered many treasured animals; my photos of them will be treasured too. Here are just a few.

Giraffe at feeding station September 2013

A lot of animals were not photogenic as they persisted in presenting their backside to the camera. This treasure was worth waiting for.

Gorilla on a walk about

Up in a tree there was what look like a discarded fur.

Until it turned to face me.

Red Panda

Despite its stripes there is not much chance of it being confused with another treasure.

Tiger on the prowl

Talking of stripes these animals had them in abundance.

Female Zebra out to graze.

This fellow however wanted her to go inside. Who would argue with that horn.

Rhino on guard

But watching everyone quite closely is a treasure said to have been rescued from a junk yard in Detroit.

Lioness in charge

She gets my vote every time.

To search for other treasures you need to find your way to Carmi's thematic-photographic-260.

Wild Animals - Sunday Stamps

Africa has many of the world's most impressive animals. These two, endangered by poachers and the ivory trade, are unmistakable. 

South Africa - Rhino & Elephant

This antelope appears on an environmental conservation stamp.

Republic of South Africa - Damaliscus dorcas

A much smaller antelope with a charming name appears on my fourth and final stamp today.

South West Africa - Kirk's Dik-Dik

I was surprised at how many stamps I had to meet this week's wild animal theme. Please check out those chosen by others at Viridian's Sunday-stamps-135.
