The serenity that comes with being an apex predator. A lioness enjoying a peaceful moment at the Monarto Safari Park outside Adelaide. She is alert for any young girls (or boys) dressed in pink. That sends the hunter in them wild!

Monarto Safari Park, 2015. I think this is probably a yellow footed rock wallaby. There are about 20 spp. of rock wallabies, all of the genus Petrogale (which probably means “Rock Wallaby” in Latin). This one is is in a zoo-based breeding colony, but I’ve been lucky enough see them in the wild on several occasions in several locations. Their habitat is very specific which both protects them (no-one wants to build suburbia on piles of rock in the desert) but also endangers them. Their agility is amazing. Aren’t her/his colours striking?

Help Monarto Safari Park bring elephants to the park! These elephants are already in captivity and need new homes so they’re going to Monarto which needs to renovate for them!
