If you're going to piss off a tiger, I guess its best to do it at a zoo and from the other side of the enclosure. We went to the Erie zoo today and we got to see the tiger up pretty close. He was just sitting their in some cool mud right near the glass. I took a few shots and then decided to get as close as I could to the glass and got down at eye level. The tiger didn't seem to care much for my shenanigans. I was wearing a pretty bright orange shirt too and wasn't sure if that didn't please him. I sorta felt bad that I disturbed him(and at this point I should say--I'm not sure it is a him or a her. In any event, i think if I were not protected by the good zoo enclosure that I would be in the form of tiger burps tonight. Below is a Jaguar, I saw the cat pacing back and forth and the sign and thought i might be able to make the picture below, a sort of optical illusion. Photographs by Richard Sayer.
