Most Interesting Moments With The Animals

We all went to the zoo, standing for hours with a camera to wait until one or another animal will come out from his house,
as soon as it appeared all at once begin to frantically press the button the camera to capture the beast.
But it is not always possible to make high-quality photos, what can one out of ten.
These same pictures as the selection, all filmed in a very good time, apparently photographer was very patient.

Elephants are large land mammals in two genera  of the family Elephantidae: Elephas  and Loxodonta. Three species of elephant are living today: the African Bush Elephant, the African Forest Elephant and the Asian Elephant (also known as the Indian Elephant). All other species and genera of Elephantidae are extinct, some since the last ice age: dwarf forms of mammoths may have survived as late as 2,000 BC.  Elephants and other Elephantidae were once classified with other thick-skinned animals in a now invalid order, Pachydermata.



The lion is one of the four big cats  in the genus  Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru.



The giraffe is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species, and the largest ruminant. It is covered in large, irregular patches of yellow to black fur separated by white, off-white, or dark yellowish brown background. The average mass for an adult male giraffe is 1,200 kilograms (2,600 lb) while the average mass for an adult female is 830 kilograms (1,800 lb).  It is approximately 4.3 metres (14 ft) to 5.2 metres (17 ft) tall, although the tallest male recorded stood almost 6 metres (20 ft).





A possum  is any of about 69 small to medium-sized arboreal marsupial  species  native to Australia, New Guinea, and Sulawesi (and introduced to New Zealand and China). The name derives from their resemblance to the opossums  of the Americas. (The name is from Algonquian wapathemwa.) Possum is also used in North America as a short form of Opossum.


A monkey is any cercopithecoid  or platyrrhine  primate. All primates  that are not prosimians (lemurs and tarsiers) or apes are monkeys. The 264 known extant monkey species represent two of the three groupings of simian primates (the third group being the 21 species of apes). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent and, unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails.






The hippopotamus or hippo, from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (Ιπποπόταμος), is a large, mostly herbivorous  mammal in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant  species  in the family Hippopotamidae (the other is the Pygmy Hippopotamus.) The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal (after the elephant  and the white rhinoceros) and the heaviest extant artiodactyl, despite being considerably shorter than the giraffe.
