Matt, if these were taken at a zoo, you need to post the location where you saw this (& your other spottings) not the country where the animal lives in the wild.

Matt, you are posting pictures from all round the world, all taken on the same day. As per the FAQs all photographs must be taken by you or posted with the owners permission. Any that do not comply with this will need to be deleted.
