Big Cat Love
I Love Big Cats: their beauty, their agility, their determination. Their eyes captivate me. They are huge, curious, powerful and regal. Here are some photos I took at Bush Gardens in Tampa, FL. Also, I included some fun facts about Big Cats:
The King of the Jungle.
Lionesses are faster than male Lions.
Lionesses are mainly the ones who hunt while male lions guard the territory.
Lion’s roar can be heard at 5 mile distance.
Tigers like water and they are great swimmers.
Unfortunately, tigers are highly endangered because of poaching and habitat loss.
Tigers live twice as long in a captivity than in the wild.
Tigers are the largest of the cat family.
White tigers are a color variation of Bengal Tiger
They have blue eyes and a pink nose.
Tigers are usually lone hunters.
Tiger stripes are unique just like human fingertips. No two tigers are alike.
Tiger’s roar can be heard one mile away.
Not only Tiger’s fur is striped, but also its skin underneath.
Scientists recognize each tiger by its stripes.
I took the following pictures at Disney World Animal Kingdom. These were the tricky shots to do because the enclosure was fenced in and pretty far from us. Therefore, on a windy day, I had to align my camera with the holes in the fence, which was not easy.
At night, tiger can see 6 times better than human.
Unleashing power from within.
Sweet dreams, Tiger. Notice a little tongue sticking out. This shot was taken through the window.
Some of the tiger facts were taken from news-50-fun-facts-about-tigers.
I love big cats. Which one is your favorite?
