Malayan Tiger Cub
Link to The Cincinnati Zoo's Website..............
One of six living subspecies of tiger, the Malayan tiger wears the characteristic striping pattern of black stripes on orange and white that provides excellent camouflage in the forest. Using its quiet stalking ability, a tiger will ambush large prey, often pouncing on it from the rear. Other than females with their young, tigers are solitary and come together only to mate. Each tiger defends its own territory from others of the same gender. Territories must be large to provide enough prey for a tiger to eat. As more and more forests disappear, tigers struggle to maintain a territory with sufficient prey.
A tiger may travel up to 20 miles a night in search of prey.
Unlike most cats, tigers seem to enjoy swimming and soaking in water.
A tiger’s roar can be heard up to two miles away.
One out of every 10,000 tigers will lack the orange coloring. These white tigers are not albinos; they simply express a recessive gene.

I'm so sorry that I ended up missing so many of your photos today. I had planned on being here but a number of things came up and so I couldn't do it. I'll try to catch up with you all sometime tomorrow. I really wanted to post something cute tonight to give me a smile. I hope this little guy makes you smile too. Good Night everyone and have Sweet Dreams. Hugs!
From 4 November to 30 December you can follow in the furry footsteps of the world's favourite Peruvian explorer. Fifty Paddington statues will be placed across London close to museums, parks, shops and key landmarks in an inspiring trail. Each of the statues will be created by artists, designers and celebrities with the trail following the travelling bear’s favourite places in London
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has adorned this Paddington with just a handful of the capital's iconic figures and landmarks (he would need to be a very big Paddington to get all of them on). How many can you name?
Boris's special design displays the diversity and accessibility that makes London such a popular place to visit. In such a prominent London position, The Bear of London is certain to make a lot of new friends as they pass through the impressive Trafalgar Square.
Much like Paddington, Boris was born in a faraway land (the USA, not Peru though) but eventually made the journey to London. Both he and Paddington are proud to call themselves Londoners today.

I'm sure alot of Habs fans are feelling this way right now. The drive for the 25th Stanly Cup is done for us
Finally, the statue seen from the shore. It's nearly excalibur but not quite.
Secret doors, tunnels to islands... we only needed a couple more people and a dog for it to be Enid Blyton stuff. But sadly the adventure is at an end. We head off. I have to get the last train back to London, back to reality. But fantasy land was fun for the hours we were there.
I was going to caption this 'lost' or something, but my 8yr old daughter instead insisted she was exploring.

The roses in our gardens are in overdrive at the moment. With way more than 100 bushes they are everywhere! This is a good thing for our garden party today. I have loads to do to get ready for it so I won't have much Flickr time until after the festivities.

Enjoy your Sunday!
There was some kind of demonstration around the Palais de Chaillot when we visited and I saw these 3 Gendarme looking quite menacing. I really wanted to get a shot of them but not too obviously as I was a bit scared of them! Just at the point of me taking a couple of shots they started smiling and laughing hence looking a lot less menacing.
Explored on July 5th, position 418, really appreciate all your views, comments and favourites.
Coolidge is a Semi-Ghost Town in western Hamilton County. A once-important Santa Fe Trail town with a bank, schools and an opera house, Coolidge today is a tiny place with about 80 people, but does still have an active bed & breakfast!

The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.
