Animal Behaviour
To me zoo photography or any sort of animal photography is about knowing animal behaviour and if you know and preempt their behaviour you can ready yourself to what may unfold.
Most animals after they wake will yawn, (like Khumbu here )stretch and maybe shake or they will simply change position. Around their feed times they usually are a lot more active and will often move about their enclosure waiting for their meal, which is another opportunity to get different shots.
Knowing these behaviours and waiting for them pays off.
