Description
One of the twin Amur tiger cubs settling in for a "cat nap" at the Milwaukee County Zoo in Wisconsin. At five months they are VERY rough and active in their play... chewing and pouncing on each other and, of course, on mom.Shot through thick glass.

I think you've been hanging out at the zoo: that's exactly the program... they sure like to pounce on each other [and mom]!!!

I've found that you really need to have a hand constantly on your tripod... if there are many people around. Adults and kids are always running back and forth trying to get a better view... including me!!!

I know they could eat me, but I really want to pick them up and cuddle them (that really is the full extent of my "girlie" behaviours)

They sure do look cuddly, kinda like Polar bears... probably with the same result!!!

Oh wow that's cute! It's an impressive shot, let alone for having been shot through glass! I think you picked the perfect moment to press the shutter button.
