Didn't expect that! The much smaller Antelope chases the Bison around the enclosure.
Didn't expect the antelope to attack and didn't expect the speed that the bison reached.

The heron was on full alert, hoping that the pelican would drop a fish!

Full Irish for this bunch of giraffes.

The crows here must be the best fed in Ireland. Look at the shine on this one.
