Some (not many) zoo pics *Update-tigers freed* :D

.. one photo manipulation. :D

Just a tiger and some Meercat pics I'm afraid, I took movies which filled up my cards. They - the movies - lost a lot of quality after being converted to avi and put together in movie maker. Oh, well, maybe I'll get myself a new camera by next visit. :D

I took a number of tiger pictures but this one is one of two I like best.

.. and I think they will be a lot happier once I've finished letting them out of their cage. :D

One of my very favourite creatures, the Meercat

I LOVE meerkats! I am so looking forward to seeing them at the zoo next week when Barbara and Siegmar come to visit!

Thank you for letting the tiger out.....I am sure he is much happier! ;) ;)

aww..I am in love with the Tiger! :)

Chris,
That is amazing - :eek:

Great shot of the tiger! That's cool how you got the fence out. I'm so lazy, I still haven't really tried to learn any photoshop tricks like that. :p Heck, I haven't even installed it yet on David's computer. ;) Soon!

Great pictures Chris. Does this mean the weather finally cooperated and you had another visit to Chester Zoo? Will I be seeing these cute little fellas when I come over next June?? ;)

Thanks ladies! :D

It sure did slick, it was a beautiful day. Will you be seeing the Meercats? You most certainly will ... can't wait to show them to you. :D

One tiger free and one to go. :D

Beautiful! Looks better without the fence. To be perfectly honest though, that fence doesn't look like it would keep a determined tiger in. Is there another line of defence?

Very nice pictures. I love the manipulation! Meercats are one of my favorites, too.

Aw, I love Chester zoo, I've been loads of times. I love the pic of the tigers, they are such beautiful creatures:D

Oh my gosh, I just went back and looked at this one more closely. Just look at the way this guy is sitting??? :D Any chance you can lighten this up Chris??

Great pics! The tiger is beautiful, and he looks much better out of his cage ;) The meercat is adorable too!

Sure, cropped and lightened. :D The dirty glass makes it fuzzy though ... makes me want to get a cloth and wipe it! :D

Nope, just a waist high wooden 'barrier' a few feet from the fence.

Does seem scary with a tiger pacing a few feet away doesn't it? Wasn't interested in us at all though, it was the goats in the pen behind us that had all his attention.

you did a great job on making the tigers look "outside the cage". they are such beautiful animals!

Great job! Zoos are my "comfort zone" lol :)

Thanks, glad you like them. :)

Your tiger picture does remind me of this at a visit to the Wildlife Park....

The Lion seems to say: A nice little snack sitting down there. :eek: ;)

Chris, I love that tiger!! Good job getting him out. ;)

I got a few from Animal Wild Life Park last year - a wonderful place! :)

Chris, great pictures of the Tiger - but I love the meercats the best.

Can't you just see them all lined up singing the songs from The Lion King.

Lots of little Timon's :D

On Animal Planet last night there was a new show about meerkats.....I missed it. DId anyone see it?

Sara, no, I don't have satellite tv so can't watch Animal Planet. :(
I love the lion against the glass picture. :) There is a glass screen viewing area at Chester but it is way over the other side and I guess it's wait and hope they go that way.

Randi, I love those pictures! Was that at San Diego? It's Dannielle's (my grandaughter and zoo visit companion) and my dream to go there one day.

I may get around in freeing more of them at some point. :D

Great to meet these freed tigers :D
I can see they are very happy to come to Pet Talk :D
