2. Hiya CaliforniaPeggy!
I was there just a few days ago. Just got back from Ireland and have a few of those to share once I go through them.

I love the lizard close-up too! My husband took that one. (through glass - so he's mighty pleased with himself)

3. Zoos depress the shit out of me, but those are stll cool pics.
The tiger is stunning, and it looks like it's pondering how you'd taste. :)

4. I give money in hopes that one day...but yeah, zoos can be depressing
Funny you should say that (how'd I taste)...I got that feeling as well. lol

The tiger and I just sat there...staring...until I got uncomfortable and walked away...slowly.

11. I forced my kids to watch it
they were hooked instantly! We had as many as we could fit on the TIVO sadly they have moved on. No Little bear, Franklin or Handy Many either these days.
Here are the boy and the girl at an Edwards rally John got a kick out of them:(

14. Great pics!
That tiger is a stunner. It makes it easy to figure out why domestic cats are so egotistical -- they know they're related to these magnificent creatures. :)

15. Thanks!
I used to ask my cat if she was "playing tiger" when she would pounce on me from behind the couch. They know how majestic their family is for sure...

21. A man held his little daughter up and slightly over the water so she could see the lions better
and THAT was the only thing that got the lion's attention...she then walked to the water and watched.... (no doubt hoping for a snack)
