Anthony Holmes' Photos

The Melbourne Zoo has been busy recently: they've opened a new Orang Utang zone and updated many other enclosures. Dennis and I visited the Zoo in November 2006, and I took advantage of my new 70-300mm lens to get real close to the animals.

Anthony Holmes > An Australasian Gannet. This is a seabird - normally a strong flyer. This bird was rescued after being injured at sea and can no longer fly. This bird had charisma. (Which is probably apparent from this photo.)

Anthony Holmes > This Baboon looks like someone has trimmed his moustache.

Anthony Holmes > The scientific name of this animal is "Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla". I think that means it is a Gorilla.

Actually, it's a sub species, also known as the Western Lowland Gorilla.

Anthony Holmes > A White Cheeked Gibbon. This female has both white cheeks and is mostly white everywhere else as well. Her male companion was mostly black - except for his cheeks.

Anthony Holmes > A gorilla. Walking past a hammock.

Anthony Holmes > This bird was with pelicans. It might be a Cormorant, except for the fact that the Zoo's web site shows Cormorants as birds that look like this, but with a white chest.

A Little Penguin.
