I think that this is my favourite photo from my 1st safari, though I can't say why!

While not technically
just wildlife, I still love this shot:
Taken the same day:
These were both taken at Futami Sea Paradise (二見シーパラダイス), a miniature SeaWorld-type park on the Ise Peninsula of Japan's Mie Prefecture. What was truly unique about this place is that there was unrestricted interaction between visitors the animals; there are practically no glass walls or barriers between you and the animals, who are allowed to freely mingle with guests (albeit under the watchful eye of trainers). The woman in the first shot was simply a lucky (or perhaps unlucky?) tourist who was "volunteered" for the opportunity to be kissed by a walrus by one of the trainers.

This giant moth (8 to 10 inches or more) is a native of the Philippines. Can't remember the name, its a long Latin one.
It has a very short lifespan, about a week. It does not have a mouth, so it can't eat, they just mate, lay eggs and die.
