    Here's a spot to share your best animal (or plant) captures on either the Pangani Forest Trail or the Maharajah Jungle Trek at Animal Kingdom.

    Here's a few of my selections to kick it off:

    A very athletic gerenuk reaching for the leaves:

    A meercat ball...apparently, they're not fond of the cold weather!:

    One seriously evil large bird...the maribou stork (see the wee little black guy to his left...THAT'S a vulture, and you know how big those are!):
    [​IMG]

    My buddies...the gorillas:

    Gorgeous beast:
    [​IMG]

    Wheeeee!:

    Just a really big kitty (that can kill you on a whim!):

    The elusive and beautiful golden pheasant (didn't come out this time - had to use ISO3200 to catch him way deep under the tree!):

    Add yours!

    While not technically on the trails, had to include a shot of this guy; and thanks to Zeagle for the use of his 300mm lens (very sweet!!)

    ... a shot of the this character smacking his lips almost saying: "I'm gonna get me one of those TMIPers"

    Great shots Paul! ; I have to go through and process mine to pump up the color on some of them, but I really like this last flower shot.

    Thanks Tim.

    I was trying to get some ideas from where folks were shooting and what they were shooting at the events.

    If I ever get a good understanding of my camera's settings, I could be dangerous ;)

    Great Shots! ; :) love all the cats and got to respect the flowers. No one loves the Rhino, though. So I figure that I will give em a shot.

    Nice work Arny - spotting the details is definitely good thinking. ; Scott, excellent catch on the tiger! ; Zeagle...love the rhino myself, but this trip, he was in hiding when I rode the truck.

    Great shots guys! ; My only rhino shots are of the rear of one and another lying down which isn't much to brag about. ; Love your though Zeagle. ; Arny, you are learning quickly, nice job! ; Scott, I love that Tiger shot.
