Thanks to the generosity of the Marwell
Zoological Society Photographic Group, the Daily Llama is able to
provide you with some very exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs taken
on the set of Fierce Creatures! Some of these photographs may also be
found at the Marwell
Zoo's photographic
group website. The group was nice enough, however, to send us a
large number of photos which you won't find anywhere else! Special thanks
go to David Baxter of the Photographic Group.
Unless otherwise noted, all photographs are the copyrights of David
Baxter and the Marwell Zoological Society Photographic Group. The reproduction
and distribution of these photographs without the permission of Mr.
Baxter and the Photographic Group is strictly forbidden.

the photos below and removed the links to the larger photos. sorry about
that. - 19 April 2002]
