amur

He had just been given a couple of Christmas trees with food in them, and while eating one of the treats, he looks up/left/right and I took a series of pictures, and this was in the middle of that series, how adorable!

A drawing (about A6 size/12x10cm/ 5x4 inches) I did in the notebook I am filling in right now. It is an Amur tiger and possibly the best drawing I have ever made of that subspecies. Hope you like it :) The entire page will be up in due course (maybe tomorrow).

I forget what kind of wild cat this is, but there's a small section of the zoo that has several small cats that look like they could be domesticated house-cats. Very cute little guys. Edit: Amur Leopard Cat per Ituri. Thanks:)

According to the sign this method of feeding is 'Unique in Europe'. It may have been when they started but I'm sure I have seen other collections do something very similar. Anyone else? 22.08.08

The new tiger enclosure for amur tigers in Wuppertal Zoo, is huge, and has to be one of the best i have seen. It opened in May 2007 along with the new lion enclosure.

Please excuse the poor photo- it was through wet glass. Just thought I'd post because it is an interesting exhibit- with lots of different layers.

This is one of the 2 Amur Leopard cubs at Twycross Zoo in England. They are both male and their mother died when they were about 8 weeks old. Their mother was called Izzy and their father is called Diesel. The cubs are called Calvin and Davidoff. Taken in May 2007.
