Big Cat Profile

This is one of the older female Amur Tigers at my local zoo.  She's not so old that she can't mate, and I believe she produced a litter of three cubs two years ago.  She is missing a canine on one side of her mouth, but that's about it for her problems.  Her fur, too, is a little rough and crinkled, but it's not causing her any trouble.  She's looking off into the distance because she can spot the other tigers in the next enclosure moving around.  © 2012-2016.
