243rd Show & Tell Competition: Animals in their environment

This competition is all about Animals in their environment.

It is as much about seeing the environment as it is about the animal.

The animals can be in a natural environment or in a man-made one, but the winner will be one showing the animal and the environment together. I'd like to know where the photo was taken if possible.

Good luck everyone, and I look forward to judging this one.

Nick

Some examples:

Squirrel at Hyde Park


Monkey at Victoria Falls


Dove in Gloucestershire

Two young swans ( they are not all white yet) take a walk along the lake, probably they were bored to float graciously on the lake surface and wanted to explore the world.
The photo was taken in Nyon, Switzerland , in front of my home




An anarchic young bull managed to escape from his enclosure and stopped in the middle of a country road, braving the car drivers who tried to pass by.
The photo was taken in Vaud countryside, Switzerland.




A big lake gull is flying directly on my head.
The photo was take by Lake LĂ©man, Switzerland
