penmage | It's a boy!

strangerface pointed out to me that my babies had a baby! And he is SO CUTE OMG.

Chana and Avigdor, the tigers at the Jerusalem Zoo, were released into thier brand spanking new enclosure right at the end of my time there. It was very exciting. They were building it for a while, and let me tell you--that is one gorgeous enclosure. I was there for the staff-only ceremony when Dennis, the Carnivores guy, released them into the enclosure and they roared their mighty roar.

It's so exciting to see that they had a cub (too bad Chana is such a bad mom.) Nili and Liz (the vet in the last picture) were two of the vets I worked with when I was there. It's fun seeing their names and faces, and pictures from the clinic where I spent so many hours. I remember when we raised Roo, the baby leopard.

I bet it's just as fun (and dangerous) raising this little guy.
