I like #1 and #8. Beautiful capture of the sleeping bear and I love the expression on the face of the animals in #8. Good job.

No 2 is the tops for me.

It is like a family portrait. Great shot.

That Camel in No.7... His name isn't Elvis by any chance? We had Elvis here for a long time and he used to drool like that... He was sent off to another zoo and I don't remember where he went.
