I only ended up getting a few shots I really liked. I was too worried about the lion getting me to do much shooting!

Here's a bird shot from Butch's 400 f2.8 with a 2x tc on my 1d3.

If you act injured and kind of limp, drag a foot, and stumble around, it really catches the lions attention. I got her up and running back and forth wanting to eat me

Somehow, both of these give me similar feelings...(by the way, that's Butch behind the 400mm lens)

It was kind of hot though...even the zebra's were protesting.
One of the elephants, however, had a reasonable solution.

That looked like a blast! I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next meet up. I"m behind the Orange Curtain, but I do venture out every now and then. Great shots.
