Wild Cats

[mac.FINN]

I went back to the Metro Toronto Zoo recently, and of course I was busy snapping away. Since I know there's so many cat lovers here, I figured I'd do a little cat collection.

Enjoy.

Cute! Sumatran has gotta be my fav. Is it just me or do Sumatran tigers have a sweet cuddly cuteness about them?

[urstwile]

Nice pics Mac. That lynx has some crazy choppers!

Buda, yeah, the Sumatran does look very cuddly. I wouldn't want to test that out though in actual practice. ;)

[mac.FINN]

They Sumatran tigers just had two baby cubs. That were on display for the first time the day we went. I couldn't get any pics of them because they were just too fast and into everything.

They were very cute and cuddly though.

Thank you mac...... they are gorgeous!

I am partial to the snow leopard... but I love them all :D


((hugs)) thank you for sharing ;)

[mac.FINN]

Yeah they're cool Kittie. There is actually two of them at the zoo. One was pacing while the other (in the shots) walked right up to the front of the habitat, sat on a rock and started cleaning himself.

It was pretty amazing. Usually the snow Leopards and the Jaguars are the most willing to pose, they always sit still and look right at you. Too bad the Jags were in for the night by the time we got there.

oh my Gawd, you got pictures of a caracal. I love caracals!!!

Love the tongue on the snow leopard, too.
Nice shots, mac.

I think this one just had the same response to Artichokes that Mo does :D

Meow! Mac

That was nice.

oh my Gawd, you got pictures of a caracal. I love caracals!!!

Yeah he was quite a show off. It's too bad I had to shoot through the glass, you can see the reflections of the people standing behind me.

Oh the Sumatran Tiger gets my vote, I love them.
Well I love all cats from jigger rabbits to the big cats.
