Together, the Wildling Museum of Art and Nature and the Santa Barbara Zoo presented a photography competition. The theme for the 2018 exhibit was “The Wild Things of the Santa Barbara Zoo”. Accepted images were on display in the Zoo’s Volentine Family Gallery in the Discovery Pavilion.

The goal was to capture the character and individuality of the animals that live and play at the Santa Barbara Zoo. From small to large, all the animals were ready for their close up.
