So I guess I should have travelled after all. Guess I’ll ignore the weather forecast next time. Speaking of whoch – when is the next time??
Me too :cry:
Brilliant shots Joe..you managed to catch some really expressive moments , especially with the Lions and tigers..I love the last one..it’s like she’s thinking…”..man..if I ever get out of here….” :D

8)Joe, fyi might best not to post so many images in one post, if you expect to get critique on them all.
Also not so good with folk on dialupCheers
Joe looks l;ike you had a great day all on your own, some great shots I think 2,4 and the tiger are all excellent (soft guy for pictures of Tigers) a great series all round.
SodaThe Lioness shot is a stunner, not to say that the others have no merits :D
I should have went in the end. But hey Joe you got great shots, in what I was lead to believe was going to be a dreadful day. RTE can go kiss my …..
Can’t wait till the next time.Terrific shots Joe. Well impressed. The snow leopard cubs looks amazing. They’ve grown so
much since the last time I was there.Rob.
What can I say Joe. I like all your shots. I’m not a cat lover by any manor or means I prefer dogs and big ones any time but the big cats you have here well they are in a class alllllllll of their own. Love all of them to me the look less harmless than some of the flea bags roaming the streets. Please forgive me all domestic cat lovers.

Great shots, I cant believe how much the snow leopard cubs have
grown! Take a look at “All Tuckered out” that was taken at the end
of August and they were tiny. I love the tiger shot he always gives a
good show, providing the glass is clean, but you dont seem to have had
any problems there, the lion looks a bit surprised but great shots again.
ooooh I feel a trip to the zoo coming on :)Shutterbug
:D Love these shots. It’s amazing how the body language changes the moods of the shots :) #1 Soft and cuddle, #2 so confident. #3 on a mission :)
Very nice Aidan.Damn, why didn’t I set my alarm and look out the window….. damn they are good.
Amazing shots!Thanks all! Aimee … you missed out. Me and Steve got lucky with the Lions. They were calling out their territory when we walked up there. The sound literally vibrates right to your core. It’s amazing to witness. That’s what the male was doing when I took the above shot.
The Snow Leopards are little charmers. Ciara, their mom, has a right to be proud. The two of them started attacking their father who rolled on his back and toyed with them. Unfortunately they were off in the far right corner so I couldn’t get a shot. But it was cool to watch.
The Bengals were at seriously at it. Hopefully there’ll be cubs in a few months if they two of them are still able. I’ve not seen Tiger cubs in person but they look really cute on TV. The male was being very territorial marching up and down and focusing his attentions on the Jaguar next door. He had nothing to worry about, the Jaguar is something like 22 years old. The female was lying up against the glass when I arrived. I crouched in front of her and she leaped back, spitting, growling and snarling at me. 3 inches of glass made me feel a bit more secure :-)
