As you can tell by the lighting^, that won't be a possibility without resulting in an atrocious photo And because of this rare chance, I won't ever take a photo of it again. Just to add... there are no flash rules at the Cincinnati Zoo with the exception of snake exhibits at the Reptile House.
Tell that to my camera of which even in a patchy, cloudy day, I can't make any slight motion that will blur the photo. Great quality, but not worth $450. I'm surprised there aren't more rants on Zoochat about the matter.
Just a note, I do believe there /are/ signs prohibiting flash photography in the nocturnal sectors of Jungle Trails...
Also, I've never actually seen anyone use their flash in Night Hunters, despite the apparent lack of signs. I've overheard several people talking about how they almost forgot to take it off, but I've never seen anyone actually forget/choose not to, so it appears as though not using one's flash in a nocturnal building is at least somewhat common knowledge amongst the zoo-going public. I think the fact that these creatures are exhibited in the dark makes it to where people are like, "Oh, these animals must not like the light, better not use my flash", whereas, even with signs, people still will use flash more often in reptilian exhibits because the effects of the flash are less obvious.
There used to be some underneath the actual animal information signs, but these might be gone by now since they've updated the signs... I honestly don't pay that close of attention... I just know there at least used to be!
Shame on Cincinntai keeping such large species like Bobcats and clouded leopards in a Nocturnal house-poor Orcas at Seaworld ? Oh no-poor cats at Cincinnati!
By the way-all cats love to have a sunbath-so all owls do either!
