First sign of wildlife, just inside the gate! (Paul)

Between captivity and freedom, there's a wire, are you willing to cross it...?

When I saw the way this little guy was looking out at us I just had to get a shot of him. He looked so longingly at everything outside his little habitat.

A photographic investigation into the concept of 'Captivity' from Foundation/BA studies.

Photographs from 1997/1999/2000.

Taken through glass at the Zoo.

A calf elephant reached over the bars of her enclosure for a banana. This calf was located at a "training camp" in Kanchanaburi.

Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, Florida

I almost feel like it's cheating, since he was in captivity, so not as dangerous to be this close when he's behind a fence.... It's a state park that used to be a zoo type of place, so now they have animals that cannot be in the wild (wounded, or interacted with humans, etc).

But don't worry, there will be plenty of pics of wild gators & other animals forthcoming when I get through other pics....

Anacampseros subnuda - growing in captivity - DMC 0891B collected at Wyllie's Poort, South Africa

Caveats - these are grown in a hothouse in some shade and may receive more water than in nature (so may not be as compact or the same colour or shape as in nature). Anacampseros also readily self seed so these may not be original plants as collected.

Civets are kept in cages in countries like Thailand and Indonesia (there are more). The coffee beans they passed out (which they couldn't digest) are sold as premium coffee bean/powders all over the world.
