Thanks for sharing. Great pictures and I love the lions!

The kangaroo, and particularly the deer type thing, look deadly thin though...?

I don't remember the name of it but there were about 20 of them and they all looked like that.. They can probably run very fast..

I thought that too, but they were all eating and since they all looked like that I knew it was normal...

Okay just figured out that they are called "Gerenuk".. They are like a Gazelle...

Now who can look at those pictures of the rhino and not realize that we have living dinosaurs still alive in our times. Beautiful pictures. Looks like a very nice zoo.

The Rhino shots were fabulous! I kinda feel sorry for whatever goes after the "stick" deer thinking they are going to have a good meal. :D

Great pictures!

The deer think is weird, it's like an anorexic deer. It scares me, I feel like if it tries to run it's legs will snap.
It seems healthy though and clearly that is normal for that kind of animal.

We looked at them for a long time and they moved very good for having such tiny legs..
