Some of the most spectacular inhabitants are carnivores, a group of animals I have particular admiration for. As with many zoos it's difficult to get good pictures due to fencing, chanlink or glass barriers. Anyway, here's a few -
Jaguar. The neotropical 'Tigre'
Amur Leopard. One of the planets most critically felines (taken through glass....)
Another of a Amur Leopard
How'd you tell the two Lions apart?
King of the Gir Forest, a male Asiatic Lion
Short-clawed Otter
Sun Bear working hard to extract treats from a kong
Easy to forget the Meerkat is a member of the Order Carnivora.
Scotland's wild feline - the world's most endangered? A shame if they're shortly only in zoos.
The African Hunting or Painted Dog, always a treat to see. Another species suffering in the wild for a whole host of reasons; hunting, canine distemper, habitat destruction etc
I'll post some primate and miscellaneous pics too....
