We had new baby tigers at our zoo a few months ago -- a boy and a girl. It was amazing how fast they grey.

Kim Mailhot said...

ooooh, what a gorgeous family. I wish they we roaming wild on the Serengeti and you had gotten the photos with your telephoto lens while they were in the wild, but they are lovely pics just the same !(my first lion porn...looks a little dangerous !)

Karen said...

oooh how cute :-)

S. Etole said...

what a little cutie practicing that big roar ...

RNSANE said...

A special kitten, that's for sure! You've got to learn that big roar from Daddy!

Kimberly June said...

Great shots! The expression on mama's face in the 2nd from bottom is AH-MAZE-ING!

Scrappy Grams said...

wonderful!

Hilary said...

Wow.. you were there for it all. Wonderful photos.. such gorgeous creatures.

Country Girl said...

From caught in the act to baby roars. Well done.

JaneK said...

okay, pretty cool you saw it all from a gleam in daddy's eye to living breathing frisky creature. I love the last shot where he looks like he is trying to roar like his daddy :)

ds said...

Magnificent. Thank you.

Mark said...

Love it! Just love those big cats.

Jeanie said...

Fabulous photos. Hard for me to decide if I like the b/w or color best -- they both bring their mood and I'm glad you decided to share both of my favorite wild animal!

This series of photos made me chuckle and smile at the same time. Wonderful!

Barbara Shallue said...

Oh, so cute!! Makes me want to go to the zoo.

Snappy Di said...

Large cats are such fabulous creatures. Too bad we can't just step over the fence and pet them.
