I got together with some good friends and took a trip back to the WNC Nature Center, they had never been, and I was still excited to see the Red Fox. We got on scene, and began wandering through the park. We stopped by the Bears, then the big cats, the cougar was taking a nap, but not unaware of people next to the enclosure. We got to spend time shooting the wolves who were trying to find more comfortable places to nap as well. All in all it seemed like a sleepy day for the animals. Finally we got to the fox enclosure, and the red was sleeping. I was about to walk away with only a quick headshot when it would leap up and begin running around the enclosure, until it found a nice area to nap on the ground. For the briefest of moments it stared right at me, and then curled up and fell back to sleep. All in all, I think it was a good day for me.

I often need to zoom in through the mesh of the enclosure fences to get good wildlife photos at zoos. I assume you did something similar.

Yes indeed, having a REALLY long lens helps. Even still, there are many photos I cannot use because of that fencing.
I took several nice ones of a white lioness in a zoo in Texas, only to have had the autofocus fix on the cage wire instead of her. :(
