My favorite cat at the zoo :) She is the smallest of the four-lion pride.

Gorgeous 14 year old Siberian Tiger. My favorite cat at the zoo.

Taken on December 24th, 2007. These guys (well, girls), are among my favorite animals at the Toronto Zoo. In many ways, they remind me of my Shiba Inu dog, Suki.
