Today we have some lovely racoon dogs, a couple of ring tailed lemurs and an eagle owl!

lovely pics, the animals all seem to have some personality. Did you take a lot of time trying to photograph them?

[leesa_perrie]

They all had personalities it seems! Most of the photos were taken quickly, due to them moving, others I was able to take a bit more time over (especially the sleeping racoon dogs). So it was a mix of quick and slow.

I've never seen such cute looking racoon dogs. And all the better when bars aren't in the way..?

The others are good, too. The lemurs do almost seem to be showing off their best angles.

I loved the racoon dogs!! The beauty of having only one fence is getting your camera close enough to focus through the holes - though for the lemurs and some of the cats, we weren't able to get that close to the fence (or they themselves were next to the fence and so, nope, not going to work)!

The lemurs were quite happy to pose, which was nice of them.

Curious, why do they call it a eagle owl? The raccoon dogs make sense...

[leesa_perrie]

Apparently it's because many of them are as large as eagles, (according to google)!

I wasn't sure if it was something that simple or if there was another answer. Thanks!

I love the one of the raccoon dog yawning, such a great capture, nice job with the others too.
