Was this through glass or through fence? Either way, I agree with Mike, you've done a great job of making it look wild. Thanks for sharing.

Great shot...Majestic creature, but she looks like she's hot or tired.

Thanks everyone. She was beautiful, it was warm and she was lying in the tall grass. There was no wire or grass between us. Shot with my 100-400L at 400mm, 1/500, 100 ISO, f 5.6.

Thanks again for the comments, I get lucky every once in a while! There are more zoo shots here
