Unplanned Swim - Sumatran Tigers @ US National Zoo
This was the other time I saw the cubs push Soy in the water at the end of a chase across their yard... (Here's the other photo when the cubs pushed her in...)
This photo was taken on February 18, 2007 using a Nikon D200.

This is a great series of shots----especially the "tiger butts" Are they ganging up on Soy or attacking something else?

Heh, yeah that last one is funny/cool. They were pouncing on Soy for sure. I think you can see her in the lower left of the shot in the shadows.
As for posting that last shot on its own... Something I've battled over with flickr. I try to consider how cluttered my stream will be a week or month or year from now. That and I doubted if the stand alone shot would "catch people's eyes" on flickr. AND I think it is best appreciated as part of this sequence. -thanks.

Jon- I never get tired of these little guys (or the previous batch). Your tigers are one of the very best parts of the flickr universe!
