Field Notes

Notes:

This was taken at the San Diego Zoo. I haven't read anything on it but the negative effects of small confinements on the psychological health of many animal species wouldn't surprise me if they were true. This lioness appeared visibly irritated by noisy zoo visitors (and maybe my camera as well). I wanted to share simply because I like the first photo.
