If you go at the right time, you can see the beasts do all sorts of cool stuff. But if it is hot - you can watch them nap and that's about all.
The Calgary Zoo does these "Focus" events for photographers. They open up the Zoo early for anyone who wants to come capture their favourite animal without all the crowds, noise, hot sun etc etc. Think it's around 6:30-7:00am when it starts. Been meaning to go for the longest time but the dates never match up with my schedule. Heard it's amazing.
