Tiger Cubs - 9 Months Old

A couple of weeks ago I went to the zoo for my monthly tiger cubs visit. This is the sight that greeted me. They said the tigers would be released within an hour . . . at least that's what I thought I heard.
I soooo wasn't interested in anything else at the zoo 'cause I already had by best picture-taking outing back in September of last year. So I half-heartedly wandered around.
I went to my next favorite exhibit, the bird cage, but it was locked.
I visited the spider monkeys . . . *yawn*.
I went to sit on this bench made of 966 milk jugs.
966 milk jugs!
Then I found a more confortable spot. Only thing is, when I'm at the zoo, if I stay in one location for too long, invisible bugs find me and I get soooooo itchy.
I ended up waiting almost two hours. I had to keep reminding myself of those National Geographic photographers who wait around in hostile conditions for days to get a good shot. Anyway, look how big they are compared to when they were 4 months old.

Cool monkey shot! Wow, those cubs don't look like cubs anymore. They are huge, they look scary now. Great through the fence shots!

Thanks Erick. You're right, I probably have to stop calling them cubs.

Yeah, these cubs are full grown now. Beautiful animals. Loved the peacock shot.
