The San Diego Zoo Safari Park (formerly the San Diego Wild Animal Park) is certainly well done&#8230;one of the best places for non-zoo-looking zoo photography, and one of the zoos I enjoy most. Most of the animals have ample space&#8230;in natural settings&#8230;and many are free to roam in mixed enclosures covering up to 100 acres. <\/p>\n<p>We had a great day there yesterday. Excellent light and cool enough so most of the animals were more active than usual. This large male lion actually seems interested in what he might find while exploring his enclosure. <\/p>\n<p>Olympus OM-D E-M10 with 75-300mm zoom. 264mm equivalent. ISO 800 @ 1\/800th @ f5.6.
