Below the highway

Gnu (also known as wildebeest) are peacefully grazing on a huge field. Anyone driving by can see most of them, no stopping though.

This is what is known as Giraffe House. We do not have any zoos, but huge open spaces where different animals species are kept.

They also have enclosures and aviaries for all kinds of birds. Needless to say, I love going there as it is only a 30minute drive from where we live.

These were just too far away to get a better shot.

I think it’s a FANtastic capture of them and I love that we can see the highway in the background because it gives us a better sense of how you experience these lovely animals

This is a great picture! The only times I saw Wildebeest were on tv or in a magazine!

[Mags]

They look very peaceful and content.

Excellent capture.

[Bucktree]

Beautiful capture. Love the fact they are in their own environment in open spaces and not in a zoo.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wonderful capture and open spaces

I love that you're able to bring us "zoo animals in the wild"!

[Susan Wakely]

Great capture.

Great shot, clarity

I think this shot is fine- I like the concept of your "zoos" too- although some zoos here are now using rescued animals that wouldn't survive in the wild for some of their exhibits, so there's a little more thoughtfulness to them. Good shot!

A lovely shot, Diana! So pretty with the light and the greenery all around these handsome beasts. And I agree with @grammyn (Katy)- a good decision to keep the sliver of the highway in your shot. Fav
