What a beautiful Sumatran, I just knew it was a Sumatran due to the dark coat

It takes a lot of 'waiting for the right moment'

That's why I hang out at the zoo pretty much every week

(So if you hop by every now and then, you'll see much more )

I see her almost every week now, some days she works with me, some days she's not... But I can't wait till summer, when she spends most of her time outside

Oh wow. She's gorgeous. I can't wait to go to more zoos so I can get some more amazing shots of wild animals myself.

Oh gosh, he's beautiful! So dark! Is that a Sumatran tiger? They must be my favourite species of all tigers, because of their very strong colours!

Wereldreizigster In reply to Katzilla13 [2008-01-14 22:13:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they are Sumatran

And you're right, they are gorgeous

Where is this zoo, may I ask? (just so that I can raid it myself in the future ). It looks as if it has nice, big enclosures for its animals.

Wereldreizigster In reply to Katzilla13 [2008-01-15 12:17:55 +0000 UTC]

It's the zoo of Rotterdam (Diergaarde Blijdorp). They do have nice enclosures for most of the animals (and the other ones are planned or on the way)

I think it's a whole lot of patience as well

katikat In reply to Wereldreizigster [2008-01-14 09:28:16 +0000 UTC]

It's that too ^___^


I never get any great shot from tigers because i never get any near them and there is not clean glasses so all captures i go is tigers are lying on the rock or in grass or if they are awake, they are sitting on the rock which is too far that my camera's zoom won't capture them.

Wereldreizigster In reply to katikat [2008-01-14 11:34:32 +0000 UTC]

They have a heated rock here, right in front of the glass... That works...
