I took this at the Bronx Zoo in New York. I did no cropping to this picture I actually took it this way because this tiger was sitting right up against the glass watching a duck that landed inside the enclosure. I then got right up against the glass to capture the intensity of his watch and he didnt even notice me, lol. Guess the duck was way more interesting than the little red head with her camera… —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- Please have a look at some of my other photos: / People/Portrait / Animals/Pets / Travel/Scenics / Flowers/Insects/Macros / BlackWhite / StillLife / Photoshop Image copyright © 2006, Jamie Lee. / Please note that copying, displaying or redistribution of this image without written permission from the artist is strictly prohibited.

Drawn 2008. Age 21. How do you know if someone has a strong heart or what does it mean to have a soul? Is it through people’s words or by our actions… Is it something you can just sense… just know…? To me, if our souls could be illustrated in form, then they would be portrayed as animals… Animals, after all, are more closely connected with the spiritual nature of earth then we are… In my opinion no other animal portrays a stong heart, a strong soul, better then the tiger. .. And thus the idea for this image was born.

Not much is known about the Asian Golden Cat. It is a rather elusive predator, and most of what is known about it has been found out in captivity. The Asian Golden Cat lives throughout Southeast Asia, ranging from Tibet and Nepal to Southern China, India, and Sumatra. It prefers forest habitats interspersed with rocky areas, and is found in deciduous, subtropical evergreen, and tropical rainforests. The Asian Golden Cat is occasionally found in more open terrain. It ranges from the lowlands to altitudes of up to 3000 meters in the Himalayas. The exact population of the Asian Golden Cat is unknown. It is hunted for its fur and, increasingly, for its bones in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the greatest risk posed towards the species is habitat destruction. There are few of these felines in zoos, and they do not breed well in captivity. If you would like to buy a card, print or poster just go to ‘buy/preview’

What caused The White Bengal Tiger to be endangered? / Poachers. They also used to be killed as a part of a sport carried out by Indian and British royalties. / What is the current population of the animal and how does this compare to the past? / It is estimated that only 5,100 to 7,500 individual tigers now remain in the entire world. Wild white tigers are very rare, and today they can only be seen in zoos. As of June 1998, there were 30 white tigers in U.S. zoos that participate in SSP (species survival plan) programs. / What is the solution to this problem? / Various programs have been set up around the world to help the tiger population increase. / What individuals or groups are actively involved in solving this problem? / - WWF- World Wide Fund for Nature – CITES, the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora – Emergency Rapid Response Fund / What are they doing? / They are intensifying their activities involving the monitoring of illegal trade in tiger parts as well as stepping up their support to anti-poaching activities in tiger habitats. White Tiger (Panthera tigris) is a tiger with a genetic condition that nearly eliminates pigment in the normally orange fur although they still have dark stripes. This occurs when a tiger inherits two copies of the recessive gene for the paler coloration: pink nose, grey-mottled skin, ice-blue eyes, and white to cream-coloured fur with black, grey, or chocolate-coloured stripes. (Another genetic condition also makes the stripes of the tiger very pale; white tigers of this type are called snow-white.) / White tigers do not constitute a separate subspecies of their own and can breed with orange ones, although all of the resulting offspring will be heterozygous for the recessive white gene, and their fur will be orange. The only exception would be if the orange parent was itself already a heterozygous tiger, which would give each cub a 50% chance of being either double-recessive white or heterozygous orange. / Compared to orange tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger both at birth and at full adult size. This may have given them an advantage in the wild despite their unusual coloration. Heterozygous orange tigers also tend to be larger than other orange tigers. Kailash Sankhala, the director of the New Delhi Zoo in the 1960s, suggested that “one of the functions of the white gene may have been to keep a size gene in the population, in case it’s ever needed.” / Dark-striped white individuals are well-documented in the Bengal Tiger subspecies (Panthera tigris tigris or P. t. bengalensis), may also have occurred in captive Siberian Tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), and may have been reported historically in several other subspecies. White pelage is most closely associated with the Bengal, or Indian subspecies. Currently, several hundred white tigers are in captivity worldwide with about 100 of them in India, and their numbers are on the increase. The modern population includes both pure Bengals and hybrid Bengal-Siberians, but it is unclear whether the recessive gene for white came only from Bengals, or from any of the Siberian ancestors as well. / The unusual coloration of white tigers has made them popular in zoos and entertainment that showcases exotic animals. The magicians Siegfried & Roy are famous for having bred and trained white tigers for their performances, referring to them as “royal white tigers” perhaps from the white tiger’s association with the Maharaja of Rewa. / It is a myth that white tigers did not thrive in the wild, where small groups had bred white for generations. India once planned to reintroduce them to the wild. A.A. Dunbar Brander wrote in “Wild Animals In Central India” (1923): “White tigers occasionally occur. There is a regular breed of these animals in the neighborhood of Amarkantak at the junction of the Rewa state and the Mandla and Bilaspur districts. / However, most white tigers are now bred in captivity, often by inbreeding parents and cubs to ensure the presence of the recessive gene. Such inbreeding often also leads to birth defects. / For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_tiger This picture of a white tiger I took in Ouwehands Animalpark in Rhenen in The Netherlands. It’s one of the better zoos, the animals are in the open air and have lots of space. Featured in the Endangered Species group, in For the Love of Cats group and in the Tiger, Tiger group.

This beauty was having so much fun playing with the pumpkin. She would sneak up on it, bat it, roll it, chew on it, just like a house cat plays with her toys.

“Survivors” is an oil painting showing two orphaned cheetah cubs from Namibia who were rescued soon after their mother was trapped by a farmer. Their little faces depict the sadness, fear and uncertainty the future holds for them. Original oil painting on canvas: 20×30 inches (original sold) Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on earth, reaching speeds of up to 100 kph (70mph). Beautiful and sleek, they are the smallest of the big cats and their prey is often stolen by other predators. Highly threatened, these animals are in great need of protection. They need plenty of space for hunting and that space is steadily being reduced by human expansion. Out of all the big cats, the cheetah is the least able to adapt to new environments. It has always proved difficult to breed in captivity, although recently a few zoos have managed to succeed at this. Once widely hunted for its fur, the cheetah now suffers more from the loss of both habitat and prey.

Oil painting of a leopard and her cub. Photographic reference by kind permission of famous wildlife photographers Michel and Christine Denis-Huot. This is my favourite painting depicting what is rumoured to be Halftail and Zawadi (Shadow) of Big Cat Diary fame but I cannot confirm whether this is true. Sadly, both Halftail and Shadow were killed and it still breaks my heart to think that these beautiful and precious animals are no longer with us. The painting is 20×30 inches and took me more than three months to complete. A substantial percentage of any sale of a wildlife painting will be donated to conservation and animal protection.

This photo is taken at the Olmense Zoo (Olmen, Belgium). / Don’t you just love their cute look (claws and teeth not included) (: A quick bio on these beautifull creatures: class: Mammalia (mammals) / order: Carnivora (carnivores) / family: felidae (felines) / genus: puma They go under the names Puma, Panther, Mountain Lion, American Lion and Cougar etc…. The cougar holds the Guinness record for the animal with the highest number of names, presumably due to its wide distribution across North and South America. It has over 40 names in English alone!!! Being the largest of the small cats, they are slender and agile cats. / And although they resemble the domestic cat, they are about the same size as an adult human, with a maximum of about 3 metres!! An adult paw print is approximately 10 cm… that’s 4 inches! The gray wolf and the cougar compete more directly for prey, especially during the winter. While individually more powerful than the gray wolf, a solitary cougar may be dominated by the pack structure of the wolves. / Wolves can steal killings of the cougar and occasionally kill the cougar as well. Cougars (as well as other cat-likes) deserve respect and admiration from all humans! They may look like domestic cats, but are none the less wild animals living on survival instincts only!

Here we are, all alone again / All alone, but not afraid / Here we kneel, at the end of our time, / nowhere near the end of our ideas / Time to surrender and resign to / accept our destiny But we must believe / Another day will come for us who defy / and join once again in our struggle
