Yesterday I shared the dolphins at the Secret Garden, today I am sharing the Big Cats. They were magic! Even though our pugs are featured frequently on my blog I am a cat person. Seeing these beauties and photographing them was a real treat!
Just so there is no confusion and no one thinks I was actually in the cat’s enclosures in the later pics here is a shot of a baby leopard through the fence. Yes, all of the cats are securely behind fencing.

For the next images I shot as wide open as my lens would go, 2.8, and made the fence disappear, for the most part.

Aw, just like kittens in a basket.

King of the jungle
I think he was posing for me. I can’t blame him I would pose too if I looked like that.
Was he thinking we looked tasty?
When we catch our cats at home with their tongues out like this we make fun of them.
I wouldn’t make fun of this one though! Look at those teeth!
Hope you enjoyed my big cat pics as much as I enjoyed taking them! Thanks for stopping by. Next up from Las Vegas- street scenes.

Hi maria! These are so beautiful!!! I love the third one – and the close ups of the lion – pretty amazing, huh?
I love your animal shots! Love love love…. How you can capture these through a gated area in a confined zoo environment and make them look wild and engaged is amazing! And wow, those fangs and so yellow too as if blood stained. Yikes.
Penguins, elephants and tigers are my top three fav. animals! these are amazing! i love the second last one. look at those fangs! wow!
okay, i am not a cat person at all, in fact I love seeing your PUg shots, but this kitties are very PUUUURRRRDY!!!!!!
