Don't disturb the king


I made a trip to the Phoenix Zoo yesterday and I must have hit it at the wrong time.  Everyone was asleep!


The Lion!


The Tiger!


The Bobcat!

  3. Reminds me of a famous English cricketer who was known as The Cat; not because of his speed and agility but because he was usually asleep!

  5. I'm sure that the zoo is different now than when I visited it in the '60's. I have a sweet photo of a giraffe and me during that visit, so long ago. Your photo of the King of the Beasts is wonderful; both strong pictures of beautiful cats

  6. That has happened to me, too. Although I think it was mostly cats...they sleep a lot. Heck out little kitties sleep 16 hours a day, I think.

    Cute pictures. Don't try to pet these guys, though.

  7. Be aware. The Lion can't trust his teeth!

  9. I don't think I have ever been to the zoo when the big cats weren't asleep. At least they were still enough to get good pictures!
