Bengal Tiger Cubs

These are from the Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah, WA (just east of Seattle, and about 15 minutes from my apartment). The white one is Almos, a male Royal White Bengal Tiger, and the orange one is Taj, a male Golden Bengal Tiger, they're both less than a year old (though growing quickly!). They both have a lot of personality, and are very "kitten" like in their behavior, hopefully that's obvious from the photos :D

If I have an hour of free time on the weekend, I'll often pop over to the zoo and check in on them (and the cougars, cranes, and macaws...).

    bowdown.gif I really can't pick a favorite. I simply LOVE big cats and these pictures are fantastic. I don't think there's one that, if I had taken them, that I wouldn't print and hang in my house. Wonderful colors, composition, focus, etc, etc, etc. I iloveyou.gif them!

    Thanks for the positive comments! I saw these "little" buggers again today, and they were up to their old antics as usual. They're getting big pretty quick, already over 200 lbs. though apparently that's only half their adult weight.
