Lion

This magnificent creature is one of two lions at Melbourne Zoo.

I don’t typically photograph animals in captivity, but I make exceptions for organisations that I believe are doing important work. Melbourne Zoo works tirelessly on a range of projects from conservation to anti-extinction. While an ideal world would be one in which no animal was held captive, sometimes complex issues require pragmatic solutions.

You can check out the work that Melbourne Zoo is doing at the moment via this link.
