Although this is centred largely in India, I'm sure it happens elsewhere around the world. But there does seem to be some broad generalisations and an attitude of tarring everyone with the same brush. Nowhere does it say this is only a small minority of the world's wildlife photographers. The...

I'm going to be traveling from SC to PA to visit family. I'm thinking of visiting the National Zoo in DC and the Philadelphia Zoo to do some photography. I would appreciate it if any who are familiar with these zoos could tell me whether they are “photographer friendly.” For example, my...

The shortlist is in! You have 1 month to vote in this poll of zoochat's best pre-2000's *chosen by YOU!* :p . I will post all five photos with a piece of relevant information(I hope). I have said that the photos should be nostalgic and have a story, but feel free to vote because of any reason...

I know we've already had a best photo competition, but this is different! I want to find out which is zoochat's favourite pre-2000 took photo. The photo should have an interesting story, and even better if personal to the photographer. It does not have to be technically good, but... enjoyable...

Name your top five photo-friendly zoos. This is not necessarily the same as your five favorite zoos or five best zoos. It is the five that are especially conducive to good photos. This means natural backgrounds and open barriers or easy to shoot-through barriers (such as harp wire that you...

Hi everyone, Just created this account got several topics I just want to ask about. Basically I often go to Africa and get involved in wildlife conservation activities. Friends and family are forever asking me what I get up to so I decided to started making videos and publish them on YouTube...

I greatly enjoyed watching the 2012 Disneynature movie Chimpanzee. From Wikipedia: Chimpanzee is a 2012 nature documentary film about a young common chimpanzee named Oscar who finds himself alone in the African forests until he is adopted by another chimpanzee who takes him in and raises him...

From violent underwater bird battles - to blood-sucking insects and peanut butter-loving mice - this year's Veolia Environnment Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition attracted 48,000 entries from 98 countries. The images judged to be the best 100 go on show at the Natural History...

I know that ZooChat is not about cuteness, but we all appreciate some heart-warming pictures from time to time, don´t we? :) So the question is... What are the cutest pictures on ZooChat? You can nominate your favourite pics and then we can have a poll, what do you think? (You can...

Not zoo-related, but I thought I'd include it in here because of the excellent photography - there are some brilliant shots in here, especially the one of the stoat. The 26 Happiest Animals In The World :p Hix

Hello! I have been researching Sumatran Orangutans for some time and I am looking to make contact with anyone who may have memories of working with or visiting this animal. It is believed he was a capture from the wild, and spent time at Monroe(1962-1965), Omaha(1965-1983), and Brownsville...

I'm doing the WildArena photo safari at Knowsley on saturday - anyone else from here going? :)

Here is the link to the current exhibit at the Vermont Photography Workplace/Photoplace Gallery, Animal Magnetism: ANIMAL MAGNETISM The exhibit has interesting photographs of animals, some in zoos, and an exhibition catalogue is available. My photograph Singe Noir (Black Monkey) is from the...

I have read in many threads that people moan how rubbish zoo's are for photographers including dudley. I have just got back from there after spending 3 hours & feel that it is not a bad zoo for photography. Some places it can be a challenge but is that not half the fun of it? I enjoy dudley...

I run ZooBorns, a site devoted to newborn animals at AZA and WAZA accredited zoos and aquariums. While most of the stories we get come directly from zoo PR folks, we are getting an increasing amount of outstanding photography directly from independent photographers. We are of course happy to...
