Find zoo photos which could be taken in the wild!

After uploading this recent image into the Columbus Zoo gallery. I knew that from the moment I first took this shot; that this image would certainly count, as if these birds were actually wild.

They look as though they have clipped wings?
 
I will agree that the clipped wings might throw most of us off at times. But otherwise, if one doesn’t think too hard about it. Then one could probably think that the birds truly appear to be a fully flighted pair, even if it’s clearly not the case.

Another one that looks captive but is actually wild - this is at the Snow Monkey Park at Jigokudani Yaen-Koen, Nagano. There were quite a few of these wire fences around the place, which I suspect are to keep out grazing animals. They aren't very tall and are of course no barrier to the macaques.
