Trip to the zoo

Went out to give my Tamron 70-200 a bit of a workout.
Comments and critiques appreciated. Pictures are links to larger ones as well.

Looked like it was a fun day! Great details sir! Your photos have added a vote to the Tamron 70 200 2.8 in my quest for a 70-200 2.8!

I like these, nice and sharp, full of detail, I really like the expression on the wolf's face

I'm not really on strong ground to critique these but do wonder what the 'light line is' on and inbetween the bears front legs was this shot throught glass/ is it a reflection:

Like them all but the lizard most. Reminds me of someone I sailed with once

Thanks for all the comments.
@opethian: the Tamron is surely a great lens. It would probably be the last lens I would sell. It's also my most used.

@stuey: the bear was indeed shot through glass. The bear enclosure in this particular zoo is divided into 2 halves with glass separating them. Most of the time both enclosures are occupied by bears, but at times one is emptied and the public is allowed to enter (they say that scents people leave behind encourage bears to be more active).

Gives them an appetite
