animal photography....I'm sorry for some of them

As a nature lover and photographer, I often go to natural places, but sometimes I take pictures of animals that are living out of their natural habitat. I feel for them because maybe their owners take good care of them, but I am not sure how these animals feel and live their caged lives. I will share a few such pictures in this post.

We were in New Zealand during the summer holidays in 2019–20, and we traveled by road. We wanted to watch the sheep or lambs rearing in that area, as New Zealand is famous for the same, and as they say, no journey is complete unless we visit the animal world in that country.

We were then traveling on State Highway 1, north of Auckland, in Warkworth, which features sheep-rearing. We tried feeding the animals with our own hands, but since I have posted this picture on this website, I will avoid posting it here.

Then this picture is from October 2019, when we had just shifted to Canberra, and the first thing I saw was a white tiger lying on our outer ramp.

When I looked out of our sitting room's window and watched it carefully, I took a sigh of relief because it was our neighbor's giant-sized cat that often came and slept at this point since this house was vacant and close to her house.

I took two pictures of that cat, and later, that cat visited us often and probably listed us among her good neighbors.

We have been in Australia since 2011, barring the COVID period, when we went to India and then stuck there for a long time. I am giving you another series of animals who suffer at the hands of humans.

I felt it when I saw this bear standing on a log in Canberra Zoo and walking back and forth nonstop because he was feeling too restless in a closed area.

I was shocked to see a Tree Kangaroo Lumholtz or was that Dendrolagus, I am not sure because I had noted down the name but now not coming to my mind. This one was also rescued during the bushfires in 2019 and kept in Canberra Zoo.

The same was true of this lovely animal, the Koala, whom we go to watch in the forests, but due to a heavy bushfire, the Australian government had kept some of the surviving animals in different zoos.

They were taken good care of, but they were not comfortable, or maybe they were missing their friends and relatives.

Some of them were probably burned to death as that infamous bushfire had killed millions of animals in different parts of NSW state itself.

I felt pity when I saw these penguins in the zoo since this animal was facing that year's extraordinary summer at 40 degrees Celsius due to bushfire, and mind you, this animal belongs to a subzero atmosphere.
