Fort Worth Zoo is a great zoo with many open displays. Without the net on the cages, it is easy to view and take pictures of animals.

Re: Home made telephoto
Basically, it is a telephoto lens made from a binoculars. Here is the link to the site telling how to make it. I just follow the instruction from this site. http://webpages.charter.net/bbiggers/DCExperiments/html/hardware-eye.html

Where are the giraffes?!
Fort Worth Zoo is a really nice place--I've been a few times! I got to see a 2 day old giraffe on display there a few years ago. My daughters visited this zoo for school field trips.

The position of the flamingo makes this picture very unsual. Gretchen in VA.
