Sometimes, the focus just jumps to the fences. Here is another shot for the Ostrich looking up. It has a long nick and legs.

Ostriches display a variety of behaviours, including social interactions, foraging, and defensive strategies. They live in groups, typically flocks of 10-50 individuals.

About:
The ostrich is the world’s largest and heaviest bird, native to Africa. Although it cannot fly, it is an excellent runner, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Ostriches have long necks, powerful legs, and large eyes, which help them spot predators from a distance. They are known for their unique two-toed feet and for laying the largest eggs of any living land animal. Ostriches are omnivores and typically live in savannas and open woodlands.

The Thinker!, this monkey was starting on nothing, just there, maybe it was thinking on something.  I take the shot and in1/400s and F4.5 ..

Recognized by its black ear tufts and greyish body, this primate is highly adaptable and often found in forests and urban areas. It feeds on fruits, insects, and tree sap. Known for its social behaviour, it lives in small family groups. Despite habitat loss, it remains widespread and is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN.

In January 2025, I had a beautiful visit to small yet great park and zoo in Qatar, it’s almost 48 km from where I live, I take several photos there. In coming posts, I will publish some of the images, all are taken with Sony RX100vii camera.

Here are other photos from the Zoo.
