Stone Zoo is a medium-small sized zoo of about 26 acres in Stoneham, Massachusetts, United States, by the Spot Pond reservoir. It is operated by Zoo New England, which also operates the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston.

Is it a jaguar or a leopard? The difference lies in their spots. Unlike leopards, jaguar have spots inside their spots (also called rosettes)!

The third largest “big cat” after the lion and tiger, the jaguar has a stocky build, short legs and a broad head. The jaguar’s tawny fur has black rosettes that are more fragmented than the leopard’s and encircle small spots. The jaguar is an elusive, solitary animal whose markings provide excellent camouflage in its forest habitat. The name jaguar derives from the Guarani Indian word yaguara, which means “the beast that kills with one leap.”

Behind The Lens

Location

Stone Zoo, formerly known as the Middlesex Fells Zoo, is located on a 26-acre site near the sparkling Spot Pond reservoir in Stoneham, MA.

Time

I like to take photos at the zoo early in the morning when the heat of the day doesn't keep them from being out in the hot sun.

Lighting

Overcast skies help for natural lighting

Equipment

Nothing fancy, all that I can afford is my Canon Rebel T3

Inspiration

When I have time off from the places that I travel to for my job preparing asphalt plant to pass their EPA test, I look for interesting places to visit.

Editing

I take lots of shots at different angles and hope they look good when I get back to look at them on the laptop.

In my camera bag

Just my Canon Rebel T3 and iphone which I use to post directly about my adventures.

Feedback

Simply, take lots of pictures of everything. Then sort them out, trash the bad, smile and repeat.
