Number 3 is a great action shot. Number one is nice too, is the tiger really that colour?

man look at the teeth on that thing... :shock: I would hate to be that piece of meat flying thru the air about now :D

Number 3 is a great action shot


:agree:

#2 shows him in a less gracefull pose :) swimming is obviously not their forte :roll: nice capture though.

Thanks Marvin. Yep, they really are that colour - note, they are true white tigers, not albinos. If they were albinos, they would be totally white (no stripes) and their eyes would be pink, these white tigers have blue eyes.

Thanks biggerry - hehe.. yeah, not quite as graceful in water as on land, but they are pretty good swimmers compared to other big (and small) cats :) - think he's looking like that 'cos the keepers were throwing fish feed into the water (you can just make out the specs of fish feed in the air) and hitting him with it (the water is chruned more because of the fish too)
