Possibly my last butterfly shot of the season, I decided to forego any post tweaking, as most of the elements already came together nicely for this shot. Though excited for the potentials Fall will bring, it's always sad to see the summer go.
One of the tigers had THREE cubs recently and they just started letting them out for the public to view them. They are soooooooooo cute!! Here's one of them. :)

This was one of my first pictures I ever posted on Flickr. I decided to try to edit it with Picnic and I wasn't happy with the results. I Fixed it and now I am re-posting it. Taken at the Calgary Zoo
I think this tiger had tired of me taking pictures of him and began trying to climb the wall to get a closer look. He never broke eye contact with me. It was rather intimidating .
Happy Furry Friday

a whole bunch of tiger swallowtail butterflies gathered in my creek.....more than likely something pee'ed in the sand....but when i stepped on my bridge that morning it just looked like something out of a fairy tale.
Portrait of an Amur (Siberian) Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), seen at Dartmoor Zoological Park in Devon, England.
The Amur tiger is the largest and heaviest subspecies of tiger, growing up to 3.5m in length and weighing about
300kg.
Amur (Siberian) tigers, whose habitat is the Russian Far East, are one of the most endangered big cats on the planet. There are only 400 Amur tigers left in the wild in Russia.
Better larger (Press"L")
Thank you for visiting, and wish you all a wonderful weekend :)
The Sumatran tiger, numbering fewer than 400 individuals in the wild, is found exclusively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the last stronghold for tigers in Indonesia. Accelerating deforestation and rampant poaching across the Sumatran tiger's range mean that unless authorities enforce the law, this subspecies will soon follow the fate of its extinct Javan and Balinese relatives.
It is estimated that Sumatra has approximately 130,000 km2 of remaining habitat for tigers, only one-third of which has some form of protection from development and logging.
The wild Sumatran tiger population is estimated at fewer than 400 individuals.
Dutch colonists in the early 20th century report that tigers were so numerous and bold that they would enter the planters' estate house compounds.
A 1978 estimate put the population of Sumatran tigers at 1,000.
Today the wild population is estimated at fewer than 400 individuals.
Over half the population is found in the Kerinci Seblat - Bukit Barisan Selatan landscape, which stretches from Tesso Nilo in Riau to Bukit Tigapuluh, and then from Kerinci Seblat to Bukit Barisan Selatan.
Habitat for the Sumatran tiger has been drastically reduced by logging, clearing for agriculture and plantations, and settlement.
Indonesian forestry officials acknowledge that in many parts of the island, illegal timber harvesting and forest conversion are out of control.
Approximately 67,000 km² of forest was lost in Sumatra from 1985 to 1997, most of this being lowland rainforest. Moreover, the annual rate of forest loss has been increasing across Indonesia.
Today, around 130,000km² of tiger habitat remains on Sumatra, with just 42,000km² of this protected as some form of conservation area.
Even protected areas face problems. National parks have been isolated from one another through logging and forest conversion, and as a result there is little to no interchange and gene flow between the separated tiger populations.
This is my cat Tiger. He died few months ago I really miss him. I hope he's having fun in heaven now.

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a member of the Felidae family; the heaviest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 4 metres (13 ft) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), the larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids. Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognizable feature is the pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts. The largest subspecies of tiger is the Siberian tiger.
