The last vacation made me want a better camera than the one in my phone. Especially one with a telephoto lens, so I could take pictures of animals from a safe distance. Today we were at a wildlife park and I was able to take some portraits of some residents with the camera I bought. Here are my favorites, all unedited.

While I’m generally skeptical of zoos because of the conditions in which the animals are kept, this wildlife park was a really positive exception. (Most of) the animals, all typical wild animals that also live in the region, had a lot of space and places to hide, etc. Of course, it’s still not “species-appropriate” because that’s just freedom, but it’s as good as it can be in captivity. The wildlife park also participates in programs to reintroduce lynx to the region.
