Usually a tag team like this isn’t really fair, but somehow I think that Mama Tiger can handle herself with these two. :) It’s nice to see tiger breeding programs in action, as tigers are on the critically endangered list. Unfortunately, these beautiful animals are the white bengal variant, which is not found naturally in the wild and is a product of the white tiger breeding trade. These beautiful and innocent tiger cubs were not bred by the zoo; rather, the mother tiger was rescued from a breeder and she was already pregnant when the zoo rescued her. In fact, the American Zoological Association prohibits its members from acquiring and breeding white tigers because the rate of genetic defects is high and the white tiger trade engages in terribly unethical practices.

I don’t think it is a coincidence that the eyes of a white bengal tiger are blue, as they always seem to be filled with sadness… As you probably know, I take a lot of photos of white bengal tigers. But I always have mixed feelings when I upload them… Yes, the animals are stunning, but the white tiger isn’t something that is found in nature, and is a product of humans breeding them for the “white tiger trade.” All white tigers can be traced back to a single tiger born with a genetic mutation in the 1950s that created a white coat and blue eyes. This tiger’s “owner” immediately saw dollar signs and started to breed him to produce other white tigers. Naturally, this required a great deal of inbreeding, which has led to many white tigers having all sorts of genetic problems. Not only this, but about 3/4 of the cubs born in the white tiger trade are actually orange. These “undesirables” are either killed or sold to game farms where brave hunters pay to shoot and kill these captive animals. Because of these horribly unethical practices, the American Zoological Association prohibits its members from purchasing white tigers from such breeders and from breeding them due to the high rate of genetic defects. All of the white tigers I have photographed have been those that were fortunate enough to have been rescued from the breeding trade (including the shot Tag Team ). Most white tigers aren’t so lucky. You can help put an end to this trade by not going to circuses and animal parks that purchase white tigers from breeders. When the demand ceases, this practice will cease as well. This shot was taken with a 50mm macro lens and isn’t a crop… Yes, I was that close!! 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Big Cat Rescue.

What drew me to this shot (apart from the stunning beauty of the jaguar) was that here she was, trying to hide behind trees and leaves, yet she was literally just glowing in the sunlight… As if she couldn’t hide her beauty and strength no matter how hard she tried… I’m sure you know people in your life like this, or maybe even you yourself are like this… They hide behind screen names or job roles or maybe just shyness, but their personality, their inner glow, isn’t able to be hidden and just shines on… The jaguar is classified as a near-threatened species, which means that they could be threatened with extinction in the near future. Their main threats are deforestation, poaching, and conflicts with ranchers who kill them. However, things have gotten a little better for the jaguar; during the 1960s, their numbers saw serious declines due to the pelt trade, with around 15,000 jaguar skins being shipped out of South America each year. But the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in 1973 decreased that number sharply, which just goes to show that positive legislation and treaties really can make a difference in helping species survive. 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

Honey (named after the colour of her eyes) and her three cubs were very obliging to rest on this ridge whilst they scanned the plains for breakfast. Taken in the Masai Mara early one morning about half an hour after sunrise, this is one of my favourite images and I find myself always coming back to it. / / (Masai Mara – Kenya) / / / >< / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Most people see strength and power when they look at the begal tiger. However, I see vulnerability for this critically endangered species. We have lost three subspecies of tiger in the past 50 years due to hunting: the Balinese tiger, the Javan tiger, and the Caspian tiger. The south China tiger is extinct in the wild, as the last known tiger of this subspecies was shot and killed in 1994. The remaining tigers are dependent upon for their survival the very same species that is causing their numbers to decline from illegal poaching: humans. I’d say that’s a pretty vulnerable position in which to find oneself. / . / Click to see all of my tiger photos. / . / 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Big Cat Rescue.

. / My 2008 Calendar is now on sale – Click Here / . Unlike the other big cats, Cheetah’s cannot roar, but they do purr. Like most of the other animals I have photographed, Cheetah’s are a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and hunting by man. Despite being the oldest of the big cats (appearing millions of years ago) they may be the first to go. Sadly, this photograph may last longer than the species, if we continue to kill them. 50% of my profits from my Cheetah photos will go to the Cheetah Conservation Fund. . / . . / Click to see more of my photographic artwork / Click to visit me! / / . / .

This was one of the feral kittens born to feral parents (an orange tabby and and a grey striped tabby) – Oscar (the orange) was very friendly with me. He lost his mamma as a kitten (spent his kitten-hood in our back yard with the little striped tabby). I don’t know where they ‘stayed’, but they came to my backdoor every morning for water and food (they knew I was such a sucker). The following spring there were four new little faces – this photo was just one of the kittens. I fed all 6 of them all summer, but worried about them over the coming winter that was to come. In October we live-trapped them and took them to the shelter where, happily, they all found homes – the kittens were parceled out one at a time (that made me sad) and Oscar and Mama (that’s what we called her) went together to a farm. 75% of my profit from all sales of this card will be donated to the local animal shelter.

By request, one of my most viewed [and bought] images – Midnight Sleeper, has now been recreated large enough for Wall Art. The first and slightly different version [below] is only available as a card. / / / / The lion used in this shot is a Barbary Lion, and is completely extinct in the wild – there are only about 60 left in captivity in the world. the photograph was taken at Port Lympne, Kent, UK. / / Thanks for looking and hope you like it. / Since posting this image, Vanesse contacted me to explain how much this image has moved her. She has kindly allowed me to use her written work Until We Meet Again to accompany this work. / / Until We Meet Again… Dad… No one in this entire world could ever take your place. / Inside my heart, my mind, my soul, I see your handsome face. I never got the chance to thank you, for always being there for me. / Even through the hard times you gave me love abundantly. I felt your love tremendously, in even the little things you’d do. / I treasure every single moment that I ever shared with you. Suddenly our time together became sweet memories of the past. / Those memories I will treasure each day… Until we meet again at last!!! Written “With All My Love” / By: Vanesse Cathleen

Obviously I have a great love for these critically endangered bengal tigers, as they are amongst my favorite photographic subjects. It always amazes me how such large and powerful creatures can also be so gentle and affectionate. I could sit and watch Mama Tiger and her cubs for hours and never get tired of it… The white tiger isn’t something that is found in nature, and is a product of humans breeding them for the “white tiger trade.” All white tigers can be traced back to a single tiger born with a genetic mutation in the 1950s that created a white coat and blue eyes.

This is a gorgeous white and critically endangered bengal tiger. I love the softness of her expression, and the gentleness in her eyes. It’s so sad that we let such magnificent creatures come so close to extinction… What a loss it would be for this planet. All species of tiger are on the critically endangered list… Please support tiger conservation efforts, or we may lose these beautiful creatures. / . / Click to see all of my tiger photos. / . 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Big Cat Rescue.

This is one of about 240 amur leopards left on the planet. Only 40 or so remain in the wild; the remainder are in zoos which are attempting breeding programs to save this creature from extinction. Is there hope for the amur leopard, or will it go the way of the countless other species that are lost to us on a daily basis… 100% of the profits from the sale of this print will be donated to Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.
