Beautiful cat. It always makes me nervous when zoo animals lick their chops, watching me from the other side of the fence. :) Good thing the barrier is there, right?
They are fascinating to watch, aren't they - those big kitties? So graceful, sleek and well, predatory. Every move seems pre-planned, every muscle responding to the brain command. The picture of control, something I think, that fascinates humans.
wow, wow, and wow! what beautiful pictures capturing a beautiful animal. i seem to stay away from the zoo as of late. i think it might be seeing the majestic creatures pace back and forth in front of their cages. but, at least they are safe and being cared for & not in jeopardy due to poachers, etc.
That's a kitty I wouldn't want to meet. Was she looking at you as a snack? Your post about butterflies was amazing too. I love those butterfly buildings. Sounds like that museum is a place to go...
Just as my horse was looking to see where I was and what I was doing...your Jaguar here...um-looks like he is licking his chops over some thoughts of fresh meat! Tee hehe! Nice shots! KK

Snap: What a neat shot of the leopard. I like the one when he was licking his lips thinking you were tasty.
