This would be among my first posts on this site, so heya guys! :)

During the summer of 2004 I was visiting an animal park in Sweden known as "Furuvik" which has some animals not native to Sweden. It's not always you get to see some of the animals, but this time I was lucky and managed to capture a few on my camera.

So here goes, one of the cutest captures must be the following baby as it was mimicing it's parents, climbing in ropes. It moved so fast though that I only managed to get one shot that was really good and here it is:

I captured some goats as well, and it wasn't until I came home and transfered it onto my computer that I noticed the expression they had, it looks like they are eyeballing me, despite the fact I was at quite a distance from them :)

And the last capture; a piglet:

Those are my favourite shots from the trip to Furuvik.

Photos 1 and 2 are interesting. Maybe the goats in #2 are waiting for you to turn your head so they can come at you from behind? Number 3 pig looks out of proportion compared to pigs I remember on our farm.

Nice work. Never doubt that the animals are watching you. That's why it's usually easy to get their eyes in the shot.
