I really enjoy visiting the Amur tiger section at Longleat, as I find them extremely beautiful animals. The tigers at Longleat are well looked after, and the zoo keepers are very good at feeding times as they occasionally hide the meat in the branches of trees so that when the tigers are let into their enclosure they have to search for their food.

Amur tigers are fully mature and able to mate from 4 years of age. Their cubs are born small, helpless and blind and depend on their mother for safety and for the mother’s milk. Tiger cubs grow very fast and will be almost 4 times their original size after just one month.

The Amur tiger is also known as the Siberian tiger, and are considered to be the largest of all of the big cats. They have many stripes; however no two tigers have the same stripe pattern. Amur tigers are now protected by law in the wild and are linked to conservation projects

All six subspecies of tigers are critically endangered throughout their range from India to Siberia. These beautiful predators are the largest species of cat in the world.

Bandhavgarh National Park was the former hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa and at present is a famous natural hub for White Tigers. White Tigers, now a major attraction around the world's zoos, were first discovered in Rewa, not far from here. The terrain is broken, with rocky hill ranges, running roughly east west, interspersed with grassy swamps and forested valleys

To test my new Sony 70-300, and because I was a bit sad I wasn't in Tanzania on a real safari like last year, I headed down to the Copenhagen Zoo to experiment with some test shots. These are the results.

The male tiger had the enclosure all to himself, until the female tiger came along.

The expression on the female tiger's face (sitting) says it all that she wanted her own space!!

Bubblecars anni '50-'60 auto d'epoca Messerschmitt Tiger 1960

They are the famous Bubblecars, industrial phenomenon of the 50s. For about a decade, some manufacturers have produced these small cars with small engines of motorcycles, particularly economic. I find them delicious, they are witnesses to a period of great turmoil and the will to rise again after the disastrous experience of the 2nd World War.
