Great Cats - National Zoo FONZ

The Great Cats exhibit on Lion/Tiger Hill features Sumatran tigers and an African lion—living, breathing, roaring great cats. They are ambassadors for their wild relatives, and for the Zoo’s conservation and science initiatives for tigers, lions, and many other cats, which, even if not great in size, are still great!

to me, a tiger is the most beautiful of big cats.

I'd love to scratch their nose and paws (but would lose my hand and a few other entrails !).

Aww, they're sooo cute! I wish I could have one, but it would probably eat me when it got a little bigger. LOL
