Sumatran Tiger 0095

Description

Breaking up the monotony of endless snow leopards and lion cubs to bring you a head shot of the female Sumatran tiger at the Sacramento Zoo. Sadly, Castro, the male I've photographed before, who was battling cancer died late last year, and the cub that he and this girl had has grown up and moved zoos, so I think she's all on her own right now. Sacramento's definitely involved in the breeding program for this species though, so I'm sure she'll have company again sooner rather than later. :)
