POTD - Hungry?

Probably not, but best not to find out. This Amur Tiger will turn 12 months old in April. Yeah, she's only 11 months old now. How scary is that?




She and her 4 siblings reside at the St. Louis Zoo, in a huge, open air enclosure with several vantage points. I used my 300mm lens to capture her licking her chops after some playful exchanges with one of her siblings. Even these huge creatures are cute when they play together.

She sure is pretty! That's a very nice lens you have. I think we're going to the SF Zoo next week. :)

Oh my, she is BEAUTIFUL!! Can't get over the size of those paws--she's gonna be one big tiger. Nice shot, Shirley!
