It's Amur Tiger Time

It's been quite a while since I posted on my favorite animal. Here's a very short video of this gorgeous cat.



OK, here's another one, now don't get bored with this. Sir David Attenborough just retired. I just love his voice. This is a great video. I hope I do not live to see the Amur Tiger's extinction.

Amur Tiger Time

Sad edition.


[Normally closed during the winter, the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton, Canada, opened its doors to allow visitors to say goodbye to Tomar, the Siberian tiger who has been the face of the zoo for 20 years. Tomar is suffering from kidney failure and isn't expected to live much longer.]

Amur Tiger Time, Sad Edition



Too bad.
The smallest of three rare Siberian tiger cubs born at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium died Thursday, zoo officials said.

Respiratory problems likely caused the 5-week-old cub's death, the zoo said. But results of a necropsy performed Thursday won't be available for several weeks.

Zookeepers noticed the cub was lethargic Wednesday when its mother, Toma, allowed her three cubs to leave the den where they were born Aug. 8. Veterinarians tried to treat the cub, but its condition worsened.

The 4-pound female was half the size of her brother and sister, the zoo said.

There are only about 400 Siberian tigers in the wild and about 190 in U.S. zoos. Their mortality rate in the wild is about 30 to 40 percent.

Amur Tiger Time

It's a slow a.m. here in coldH2Oland. The chimney sweep is replacing the flue tiles with a stainless steel liner, we had a chimney fire last fall, & I'm relegated to herding dogs in & out & around, so the guys can get the job done. I've brushed my teeth & combed my hair, but I know that the sight of my geezer body will only send the workers into either gagging horror or uproarious laughter, both of which will delay the job, I'm going to chill out this a.m. & not take a shower, which is located in the basement, site of much of the work. Here are some Amur tigers for your pleasure & wonder.
