Description Racine Zoo - 12/02/2006

Tigers seem to love the Winter, and this one seems to be waiting for even more snow to start falling, his tongue ready to catch it.

*smiles* Yeah, with that squinty look to his face, he does indeed look thirsty.

Thanks for the comment and sorry for the slow reply. July was a busy month for me and I got a bit behind on these things.

Tigers and snow make great combination to look at.

Heh. Indeed, they do. Unfortunately, there's hasn't been enough snow this year for some multiple trips, to see what other adorable positions I could capture pictures of.

Thanks for the fav and glad you liked the pic.

Hmm this year seems to be relatively snowless. In Prague there was snow just for 4-5 days. I used one of them to go photograph wolves in zoo. I have to pick some good pictures yet.

We finally got some snow here, but now the temperature took a nose-dive, down to 4°F ( -15.5°C ), and that's before the wind is factored in. So, a trip to the zoo isn't likely for a little while yet. I hope you had good luck, getting some nice pics yourself.

Lovely kitty....but how did you manage to take this shot? It looks like you are a bit too close to a 400 lb. cat with claws and 2" teeth...

O.

Heh. Thanks. I'm glad you like the pic.
As for how I took it, that's the magic of zoos, where you can get a lot closer than anyone might think sane out in the open.
It also helps to have a nice zoom feature on the camera that helps bring things in closer. I was about 30 feet away when taking this picture.

Yeah, but Winter is c..c..coolldddd... Every morning for nearly 2 weeks now, has been below 10F (-12C). I need some nice tiger fur to keep me warm. *shivers*

Thanks. I'm glad that you liked it.

I think the contrast of sun and shadow is what really helps to make the tiger stand out, where his coloration shows nicely against the white of the snow. Either way, I really like the way this one came out.

*smiles* Thanks. It's amazing how much the expression makes the pic sometimes. And how much a Tiger can seem to enjoy the cold and snow.

Exactly. Seeing as people more over think of jungles when they hear Tiger.

Prowler7 In reply to Firepaw124 [2006-12-06 15:45:52 +0000 UTC]

Heh. Agreed. But when I see a tiger in the snow, it somehow just seems more natural to me... like that's where they belong.
