Hi Jim,
Great stuff, I had no idea that there were that many animals or the variety of species tht are together in such close proximity.
There must have been some sort of dividers seperating the monkeys/gorillas for example from the lions. Were the more aggresive animals like the lions or gorillas in enclosures or were they also free range?
I live north of Los Angeles and I have never been there. It's about 300 or so miles but quite do-able for me. What can you offer by way of suggestions; what lenses to bring, tripod or no tripod, is there time to download CF cards or do I need to carry many gigs of CF cards, is it really dusty (not a good place to change lenses)?
Is there a choice between morning and evening tours. It's getting pretty hot now during the day, so I imagine that most of the animals are sleeping most of the day and hunting or roaming at night. Should I wait until next winter to avoid a bunch of animals with their eyes closed?
