Lol..know the feeling well..take a full day if photo hunting and be prepared to sit a while at each enclosure..took me 2years and many visits to even see the fossa and that was the best I could get,lol...
If you go regularly the animals will eventually recognise you and get more settled around you and the camera...a good lens never fails either,lol.....

Ps..a pocket full of grapes never goes a miss either,lol....
