I had the opportunity to tour the Big Cat Rescue outside of Tampa, FL. After the tour, we were taken on a private photo tour, where we could get inside the outer fence, to actually get our camera lenses through the inner fence. What an awesome experience. My favorite cats, of course, were the tigers, but I have always been fascinated by Black Panthers. They seemed likewise fascintated with me, and I was actually stalked. I wish those pictures would have come out, but I was just a bit shaken. Enjoy this magnificent beast, and good luck to all the contestants here! :)

Taken at Out of Africa wild life park. The female let's the much larger male know she's had enough. He backed off rather quickly. It happened so fast I didn't have time to frame the shot, but thought this turned out OK. It shows that females RULE!

Yes, they really do like water!

Sleeping in the shade is about the best thing to do when it is as hot as this day
