aren't clouded leopards adorable?

against everyone around here's better judgment, i went to the zoo for an hour today. =) it definitely wore me out (it's 80 degrees and humid outside), but i had a great time. apparently the heat was getting to this clouded leopard too. for the record, my yawn's not quite as intimidating.

Lab2112 says:

A truly great shot, man! As I can see, everyone else agrees. :)

If you're able to see this question buried in the avalanche of praise (which you deserve!), is the 300mm focal length the extreme range of a Tamron or a Sigma 70-300mm? I have the Sigma APO version, and have been lovin' it so far.
