Awww...that is too cute! I love how they are posing, Sherkhan and Geronimo have such a big difference next to each other. I would have never noticed!

I'm sure they did... and how long did it last? Maybe for half a second?

Actually they sat there for like FIVE seconds!!

that must be, like, a world record or something, seeing as baby kitties have no attention span whatsoever... unless they're stalking something (like ankles!)

Ohhh ankles are a big one!

I can't tell you how many scars I have on my ankles from little tiger teeth....

I. Love. This.
I didn't realize how different tigers and cougar's anatomy were until I saw this! The cougar's face seems a bit narrower than the tiger's.
Anyways, this is seriously adorable <3 You must love taking pictures of little kitties!

When they are adults, the Siberian tiger will have about 700 pounds on the cougar too

Not a pair you commonly see
Love the contrast between the two, and its amazing how small the cougar is compared to the tiger when he's older (not by much, but still!)

Not by much? The Siberian tiger will have 700 pounds on the cougar when they're both adults!

Adorable shot of this pair!
I love the pose you've captured them in, the expression on Geronimo's face in particular
When I was there Sunday, I was told that the tiger cub has been named Shere Khan.

Thank you
Really!? Yay thanks for letting me know! I always prefer to name deviations after the animal's actual name rather than just "Tiger". haha.

You're welcome!
That's what I was told when I did the photo-op... pretty cool name! I prefer to use the actual name in titles or descriptions as well

JCW seems to always come up with good names. I really like Tekahn as well

This is such a cute shot. They didn't stay anywhere near each other when I was in with them, so this is nice to see. I can't believe the difference in size of their paws and heads. The pots and texture of the wall look nice as a background to this photo, perfect setting.

Really? The whole time I was there the cougar kept jumping on and playing with the tiger and the tiger was like "eugh, get away from me *swat*". haha.
Geronimo sure is a little ball of hyper!

Well yeah, the cougar cub did keep jumping on the tiger cub and sort of bullying it around, but never stayed still long enough together. Give it another week or two and it will be the tiger beating up on the cougar cub.
