I went to Saitama Children's Zoo

Once again, I visited my favorite zoo, Saitama Children's Zoo.

This time, I'm taking my time walking around while playing with my camera.

I tried some multiple exposures at the waterfall right after entering.

I also tried changing the shutter speed.

There are various subjects other than animals, making it a fun place for photography.

Also, the giraffe enclosure right by the entrance was under construction.

I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

The bunny is relaxing.

This horned owl was perched so close I could almost reach it, but as you can see, it had a poker face.

The Pallas's cat glanced at me, then stayed perfectly still.

It felt like the number of prairie dogs had increased...?

In the eco-house, it seemed like the number of gundis and tegus had increased...?

As expected, the quokka area was full of children.

The world's happiest animal, the quokka (they've increased... Mimosa-chan. April '21)

Not only that, but there are also kangaroos and wallabies that don't even flinch when petted, so the children were overjoyed.

So, since the popular animals were surrounded by crowds, I had a conversation with a bird,

"It's crowded today, isn't it?" It posed for the camera for me.

It seems they are gradually updating their facilities, not just the giraffe enclosure.

I hope this makes it more comfortable for the animals and easier for the children to see them.
