This is the day Cubby went for a walk with Me & Sis in the Woods - Still have a few photos to share from that day
This cub wanted to come check out my little den but I told him he needed to go downriver and catch up with his mom.
His mom was down in the water way over to the right and out of the frame. I'd been standing on the porch of my cabin waiting for the two of them to head on downriver so I could go get some coffee.
But this little guy was so curious and walked up close to my porch where I was standing. Don't worry, I was right by my door and could have stepped in very quickly.
He was just curious and wanted to check me out for a second and then went on down the way to catch up with mom.
There's no crop on this
Still waiting for him cat tree to arrive, but in the meantime, I brought this tower in the den... he squeezed into the top cubby!!
Cubby's Tongue - Not a good macro but their tongues are much different than a dogs - The tongue of a cat has tiny, backward-facing barbs (papillae) on it and they’re the things that create that rough sensation. The barbs serve several important functions. They make it easier for a cat to rasp the meat from the bones of his prey. The barbs also aid in grooming as they collect dirt, debris and loose hair from the cat’s coat.
Two polar bears snuggle up to keep warm. Mama bear had just gotten up and was not far to the left lookin around.
There’s nothing like lion cubs. I had a few opportunities to photograph them, and those experiences will stay with me for life. Because Simon’s safari vehicle lets you shoot at floor level, often my head was just a couple feet off the ground. Lions would frequently walk right in front of me, not giving me a glance (usually). Cubs sometimes would dart under the truck, right under my camera. Lion cubs love to touch each other, rubbing faces like domestic cats, rough housing with their siblings or adult caretakers, or playing with whatever comes across their path. It’s adorable to watch. These two little guys were lagging behind their mothers who were leading them back to their den location when one couldn’t resist an affectionate rub and it looks to me like the other is smiling.
