Pairwork
While the male was trying to free himself from a mess of ropes, the mother of these lovely youngsters assumed a "threatening" position to warn off all potential enemies from approaching her young. The father soon sorted himself out and the family resumed their walk in the enclosure.

Snack Time
A group of youngsters was quite active for a while playing in the middle of the enclosure. As more people gathered round to watch them, the mother approached to keep an eye. The youngsters, on seeing their mother, abandoned play and run to her for a quick nibble.

Macropus rufogriseus frutica (common name: Bennett's Wallaby)
When I first saw this wallaby in the shadow of the nearby tree I thought there was something unusual about it since it seemed much fatter than the rest. On closer look I saw two little legs and then a cute face. With the male resting just behind them, the mother and its baby searched for food remainders.

Lama guanicor (common name: Lama)
A female lama allows its newborn to feed. The 90 mm lens was hardly the best lens for this kind of shot (an 180 mm would be much more appropriate) but luckily, after spending some time around them, they decided to move closer so I could get a full frame picture of this event.
