Tiger Cubs and the Zoo 12/27/08

We went to the zoo to visit the newborn cubs that were finally out in public. I must've spent a better part of an hour trying to get a good shot thru the fence and the closest I got was this. It was almost impossible to shoot thru the fence.
Most of my better shots came from the bird cage. This bird was very colorful. The underside of his wing was actually red.
This is a cute bird. He is always picking up twigs to build his large nest.More fowl shots.And finally, this Serval who lives in the bird cage for reasons unknown. I've only seen him sleeping but today, he was unusually lively allowing me to take these two shots thru his fence.

Too blur the fence you need a long 2.8 lens. Your pictures look good. I like the cat, he looks cool.

It was very challenging for me to try and get shots of the cubs. I got sooo many nice clear shots of the fence though. It was easier to autofocus when I zoomed in so that the puka through the fence got bigger.
