The temperatures could not have been better for viewing the animals. -4C and cloudy. Made for a great walk about. While all of the cats were out, the viewing areas were in poor condition at a number of the pens, preventing clear shots. Dropping the depth of field simply made for a haze. A side note - the photos were all taken with my camera hand held.

I had not seen the tigers so active. The female was in the large pen, posing for us near the viewing booth, while the male was in the smaller pen.

Every previous visit, the snow leopards had been in their dens. This was the only clear shot. One other was walking the fence line but did not provide a clear field of view.

The penguins were also lounging around. A couple of weeks ago, a number of these penguins drowned in the holding pool, apparently being startled at night and all jumping into the pool at the same time, one on top of the other,
