Beautiful to see them in their natural environment. This was the second tiger we saw, a beautiful tigress walking through the grass, looking for breakfast.
Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaicar) at the Highland Wildlife Park near Aviemore. Only a few hundred of these animals survive in the wild, and can be found in the far east of Russia and around the northern border of China and Korea. Also known as the Siberian Tiger, they are the largest living species of cat in the world. The animals here recently had 3 cubs, 1 male and 2 female.

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.

Sumatran tigers are the smallest and darkest of the tigers. Massively built animal with a rounded head, a long muscular body with powerful limbs, especially the forelimbs and shoulders which enables them to overpower prey larger than themselves. The tail is usually slightly shorter than half of the body length The Sumatran tiger has yellow eyes with binocular vision. The large, sharp claws, as with other cats, are retractable. The muzzle is broad with large canine teeth. Length of head and body: 1.8 - 2.5 m Length of tail: 0.5 - 0.75 m Weight: 100 - 140 kg (male); 75 - 110 kg (female).
I was going to crop this picture to just show the tiger eyes for this month's "eyes" theme ... but in the end, i decided i liked the picture uncropped.
This baby tiger is focusing on something. The photo was taken at the Indianapolis Zoo, ranked as one of the top 10 zoos in the country

I managed a few good shots of the younger tiger Kita. I couldn't decide on a couple if I liked them better in colour or B & W so I did both.
