PHOTOS! Tigers in the Night!

[Die Fledermaus]

A month ago I went to the Bronx Zoo and took some photos of the tigers, in the daylight. I'll post those, later. But here are more recent ones, taken at night during their Holiday activities. This is Zeff, a rather calm male Siberian.











I thought I posted the other batch of photos from a month ago. I guess not. So here they are:

Whoa, cool pics. That one pic looked kinda spooky where the tiger was up on his hind legs & his eyes were glowing. I forget the proper term for that where the eyes glows; dang....where are my Kratt Creature tapes...they explained it!!

Lol-you've posted the others before, I remember seeing them & replying to your post.

Oh yea, I did post them!

What has to be especially scary is seeing a leopard's eyes approaching you at night. That is the one big cat that hunts exclusively. . . at night.

Wow! The only tigersw that I see are the one in Maines zoo, and they all sleep. They are white, though. I forget what White Tigers are called...

I don't remember the source I read it in, but it is my understanding that among big cats, there is no urge to hunt humans for food unless they have eaten human meat before.

The exception is the tiger, who will hunt humans without such prior experience.
