Water is a behavior magnet. It cools, reflects, and concentrates movement.


Where to Watch

  • Sea Lion Pool for energy bursts and social displays.
  • Monorail river edges for grazing and cooling.
  • Shade lines along banks—animals rest near breeze corridors.

Behavior Triggers

  • Temperature shifts → more surface activity.
  • Keeper presence → brief anticipation arcs.

Photo Tricks

  • Expose for highlights on water; lift shadows later.
  • Use faster shutter to freeze splashes.
  • Angle slightly to avoid mirror-like glare.

Tip: Watch reflections—light off water creates dynamic photos.


Family Game

  • “Ripple watch”: Who spots the first ring before an animal surfaces?
  • “Behavior bingo”: splash, perch, dive, glide.

Bottom Line

Follow water; it leads you to better wildlife moments.
