Soyono takes a break from the cubs - Sumatran Tiger @ DC Zoo 8/25/2006

    Another photo from the special cub preview I got to go to. Soy went swiming this morning 4 times! She'd check on the cubs, and then go in to water to cool off some.

      Are the tigers and pandas your favourite subjects? :)

    3. Nikographer [Jon] (70 months ago | reply)

      My favorite zoo animals are the Lion(s) and Tigers for sure. Next probably the Cheetahs and wild birds (hawks and heron).

      Outside the zoo Bald Eagles are my favorites, with Osprey a close second.

      I like the Pandas at the zoo, but they're not my favorites. I post them (Pandas) some because I know others are panda-holics and well, they ARE pretty cute.

      I wonder how my stream will look a month or two from now because I know I will be wanting to post tens of photos of the new cubs, but also not wanting to flood my photostream with just those tigers...
