The more I visit the Denver Zoo the harder it is to come up with pictures that I’m really happy with, probably because I’ve already presented pictures here of animals that I found unusual
Still, I managed to find a couple of new things that I enjoyed. First was this rarely seen Lesser Panda:
that I can’t ever remember seeing before.
Here’s a white duck from Europe that I haven’t noticed before, either:
and, finally, a shot of this East African Crowned Crane that I actually presented last year but can’t resist shooting again, and again:
I haven’t seen any of them. The duck and crane are gorgeous.
The Crane looks very exotic. Great shots as usual.
Gosh, I wish I were smart enough to caption that first one for i can haz cheezeburger. What do you think that little lesser panda (never heard of one of those before,) has on his mind?
But I ain’t. Good with funny captions, that is.
Gorgeous, gorgeous photography. What kind of camera you use? Mine just died, I think.

I was using a Canon 40D with a 70-200mm zoom, Jannie.
I would probably recommend the Canon Rebel as a better alternative unless you’re in to photography pretty seriously — and have retired and have few financial obligations.
Loren: Is the lesser panda the same as a red panda?They have one of those at a nearby zoo and it is very shy indeed. Nice pics.
Wikipedia says they’re the same, and that certainly makes sense to me.
