Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Incredible Photos Reveal What Zoo Animals Get Up To After Dark
Caption: Incredible Photos Reveal What Zoo Animals Get Up To After Dark. These fascinating images reveal what animals get up to after dark. The photos, taken during the Whipsnade Zoo's overnight Lookout Lodge experience, show never-before-seen views of the Zoo after dark. Eager to see the nocturnal goings-on at the Zoo, ZSL’s photographer used a specialist night vision camera to reveal the animals’ behaviour. Famous for their one-legged stance, the Zoo’s flock of flamingos were pictured fishing for food in their large pond, continuing to eat well into the night whereas cheetahs Fred, Billy-Rae and Robyn were tucked up in their cosy straw-filled den at the first signs of dusk. The African lions are crepuscular, meaning they’re particularly active as the sun sets and the extraordinary images reveal the Zoo’s pride using their own night vision to prowl across their vast paddock in the dark, roaring to signal that Whipsnade is their territory.
