Satu and stars

Satu, female Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae, tygr sumatersky) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic


I have a personal rule to post only one photo a day, but because my last submission was very crappy ([link]), I post also shot I am proud of today it is Satu, wonderful female in the water. I have never seen her in her pool before! I was also surprosed to find few fish in her tank - but I do not think she will ever try to catch them but it would be amazing sight! The tank is very big and quite deep, so I fish have a good chance to survive every fisnihing attempt of Satu or Dua I am so happy that I captured this moment!


Thank you for your comments and faves
