This one was in a show, chasing a rubber snake around. It seemed to be having fun though and I got shots of his full wingspan so I'm happy! If it had just been running in the exhibit I wouldn't have gotten photos like this.

Ho you catch him running! Mine, at Pairi Daïza do fly freely but he's very hard to capture with a camera.
