It's winter in Valencia, which means daytime temperatures are about 10-16C. Today was sunny and crisp, and with COVID raging across Spain, I was one of maybe 10 people to visit the zoo this afternoon. It was quiet, and the animals were relaxed. I took my time and tried to capture the unique personalities of animals who spent the day mostly alone. Some were taken behind thick glass. Some were quite close. All were taken at the end of the day when the sun was golden and low.
The ring-tailed Lemurs are in an open area with a path for people to walk through. There is no glass or fence. They surround you, walk past you, sit next to you. Today, I was alone in their area and just stood silently as twenty strolled around me.
The elephants had just eaten and came to a part of their enclosure where they bathe in sand.
The apes share common areas but are mostly behind glass, except for the chimps.
This Hippo is in a pool with thick glass where you can watch them swim by.
I found this Hyena standing 3 meters away from me, and we were alone for 20 minutes.
