Great shots, Col! Bet it was thrill touching a tiger

[FlashDrive (Poppy)]

Sure was Laurie...this one is the Cheeta licking a ' frozen fish ' ice -cream.....keeps them occupied and distracted while a few ' locals ' get up close.
This photo was taken by Staff....they didn't give me the ' digital ' original.....so I had to take a photo of this photo so I could post it here.
They have a very unusual feel to their fur.....not soft like I thought it would be.....kinda hard and firm texture about it.....

Yes it is ....she is just lovely to talk to.....she was walking past and I said hello.....she stopped and had a conversation with me.....before she departed, I asked for a photo....she was most happy to do so.....very gracious Lady she is.
That was the ' highlight ' of the day for me...

Woaw ! I se a trainer at Australia Zoo was mauled today by a tiger ,, lucky you went there today Flash .

The trainer is ok , wounds to his neck and in hospital , lucky .
Un-predictable wild animals are dangerous even in captivity .
