Nina Says...I've Been On A High Fiber Diet For Years.... by Teresa Burnett
And I haven’t lost a single pound! Nina is one of only two remaining wild born Western Lowland gorillas at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. She is a grand old lady somewhere between 40 and 50 years old and she is wonderful! She has a fantastic sense of humor. She will sit looking so stoic for a while, then all of a sudden she will stick her tongue out and make faces! I just adore her! / Here she is basking in the glow of her heat lamps and enjoying a snack. She uses the stick you see in her hand as a cane at times when she is walking around. I suspect at her age, she has uncomfortable days just like the rest of us!

Jaguar Eye by Aquamojo
Close up of Parachromis Managuense…aka, Jaguar Cichlid. It’s not hard to get close to this fish when they are breeding. They are very protective of their spawning area and don’t appreciate the camera lens up close.

Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) by Mariann Rea
Featured in Zoophoria in September 2009 and in Penguins Galore in October 2009! Thank you!! Second place in the Penguins Galore challenge and also in Playful photogenic animals group challenge! There is a funny story with this penguin :) / This was in Belfast zoo. We were visiting with my husband and he had a map of the zoo in his hand. For some reason he touched the glass with the map and the penguin reacted immediately by trying to byte the paper through the glass. His beak hit the glass in effortless tries. It was sooo funny! :) Where ever my husband put the map the penguin followed. This went on for a while and there was a crowd starting to gather behind us. At one point another person decided to have a go at this fun game and took his car keys, put close to the glass and showed them to the penguin. I am telling you – the expression on that penguin’s face was priceless when he saw the keys!!! His eyes went big and he swam quickly away. It was almost like he was thinking: what the hell is this! Hahaha / Times like these I would really want to know what and how animals think :D Canon 20D / Canon EF 100-400mm L @ 100mm / ISO 100, 1/80sec, f/6,3

Siberian Tiger by Larry Trupp
! The largest subspecies of tiger is the Siberian (Amur) Tiger. This tiger (Panthera tigris) is a member of the Felidae family; the largest and the most powerful of the four “big cats” in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 4 metres (13 ft) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), the larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids. Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognizable feature is the pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts. Camera Details: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, 55-250mm Zoom Lens, Aperture exp 5.6, Shutter speed 1/40, ISO 200, white balance cloudy. Location: At the zoo in Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba
