A Tiger in the Siberian Tiger Park

Annoyingly, the Tiger never said cheese or smiled. You can see that this tiger has been in a scuffle, the top of its right ear is missing. I wonder what were the extent of injuries to the other tiger.

Please tell me you didn't get as close as it looks to the tiger. All I can say is WOW!

Well there was a bit of glass and a lot of metal between us (I was in a minibus and the tiger lying on a small wooden shack). It wasn't like I wandered casually up to it and asked it politely to watch the birdie...

Oh yeah, and a decent zoom lens came in handy as well.
