I
knew it would be crowded at the Zoo today - 'twas another perfect
day. I didn't care - I needed my Zoo fix.
As
I headed towards my usual route, I saw a huge crowd gathered around
the tiger's cage. There I found two little critters having a ball
in the sunshine.
Woohoo,
the baby tigers were out!!!

The
little 'uns (born last September) have been spending a few hours
each day outside for the past couple of weeks.
It
was easy to see that they loved this new freedom.
|
 |
They
investigated everything that moved, and considering that it was
a breezy day, that meant just about everything within sight.
Every
so often they would stop to wrestle each other, then they'd carry
on with their missions.

The
larger cub seemed to be the most venturesome. Here, he is trying
to decide how to yank a blackberry bush branch up from the "moat".
I
could not get over the size of his paws!

With
a sorrowful look, he gives up and moves on to torment his brother
once again. |
 |
Here's
a picture showing the large white spots on the back of his ears.
In the darkness, predators may think that they are the eyes of a
much larger animal and be frightened off. |

I
loved the look of utter bliss on the hippo's face as she basked
in the sunshine. |
