Zoo Miami | African and Asian Elephants

Yesterday, I visited Zoo Miami for the first time. I was very excited, as this zoo has been high on my "Must See" list for some time. Although I didn't get to see everything it had to offer, it certainly did not disappoint! I was more than happy with everything that I was able to see, including my most favorite animals: the elephants.

My clips of the African Elephants embody my belief in patience when it comes to filming animals, whether it be in captivity or in nature. When I first arrived at their exhibit, they were nearly out of sight, way back towards the edge of the enclosure. I walked a little down the road to watch some birds in an aviary for a few minutes before checking back in. Sure enough, they had come much closer, allowing me to get some better shots. I loved seeing them walk; there's something so majestic about their graceful and dainty but deliberate and powerful strides. Patience pays off!
