"The lion sleeps tonight" at Glen Oak Park Zoo in Peoria, IL
On August 3rd, I also visited Glen Oak Park Zoo in Peoria, IL to photograph some more wildlife. I was able to get quite a few decent shots of several animals at this zoo on this afternoon. I photographed these animals with my Canon 5D Mark III and Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.0-5.6 II L IS lens to capture some close-up shots. I've added several photos I shot at this zoo below:
A photogenic shot of a zebra
A close-up of a Mandrill
A growling Siberian Tiger
One of many Budgerigar birds I photographed!
Quite the close-up of an African lion
A blooming water lily in a small pond...
It's pretty awesome what a telephoto-zoom lens can do...
"Kickin' up dirt"
An amazing animal!
"The beast awakens"
Another Budgerigar bird close-up!
One of several zebras...
A great shot!
"Fierce"
Another close-up!
Another awesome zebra shot!

"Hanging out with friends"
A wallaby enjoying some shade from the summer heat...
One of my favorites of the bunch!
This one cooperated very well...
"Stripes"
Don't awake the lion...
"Hanging out"
"Black Swan"
One more close-up...
Alrighty then Meerkat...
These birds are quite colorful!
That's all for this particular post. On August 10th, I ended up traveling to Smithfield, IL to photograph some hummingbirds and I'll update with that post in the coming days.
