Hornless

A rhino stares blankly at the camera, its thick hide protecting it from the elements. However, the rhino lacks its other natural defense as it does not have a horn.

Lion King

A lion stands majestically in its enclosure, observing its habitat. The lion had originally been staring off into the distance, but after a few minutes of waiting, I was able to photograph the moment it turned and looked at me.

Stripes

A tiger rests in the grass at the San Francisco Zoo. Unable to take the shot from the normal viewing area, I fitted my camera into a hole in the fence and captured the tiger in its comfort.
