The Tigers Are Growing Up
I went to te Zoo Late last night.
The tiger cubs are getting a lot bigger.
They are two males and one female.
Melati And Her Cubs
This is a library of all the pictures that I took today, that are worth uploading.
If you think these are bad, then you ought to see the ones I discarded.
Like Mother Like Cub
London Zoo’s tiger cubs were a bit reluctant to show themselves. But I did get this picture of their mother, who is called Melati.
Sumatran Tiger Melati
Then one of the cubs decided to imitate his or her mother.

I have published some more pictures.
Tiger Shooting In North London
I went tiger hunting in North London yesterday and only got this picture of a magnificent male, who looks like he’s eaten all the cream.
Tiger Shooting In North London
I was actually looking for a mother and three cubs, but despite the good weather, they decided to stay in their den. According to London Zoo, they are free to emerge as they choose into the enclosure.
Tigers Must Be Tougher Than We Are!
I popped into the Tiger Territory at the zoo and was half expecting to find that the tigers were fast asleep in the warm somewhere!
But as the pictures show, at least the male tiger; Jae Jae, was showing himself off.
But we mustn’t forget that tigers aren’t averse to water and have regularly been seen in snow in Siberia in wildlife programmes.
On the other hand, these are Sumatran tigers, more used to sun and rain than snow!
It was also rather pleasing to see that there were quite a few visitors. Many seemed to be from overseas. I actually talked to some Germans, Ecuadorians and Chinese, who’d come to London for Christmas.
Tigers At The London Zoo
I am a member at the London Zoo and went there to check out their new restaurant and also see my old friends, the penguins.
I also ended up at their new Tiger Territory.
Incidentally, they’d just introduced their male and female tigers to each other. but the female was being rather coy and hiding in the long grass.
The territory is much better than anything I’ve seen for big cats in the past. Except of course for lions in the Masai Mara.
