p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A couple Cougar shots, and a Zebra's Butt!

I'm too old and can't afford to go on an African safari, but I can go out to my local Austin Rescue and Rehab Zoo and get some reasonable photos of the critter out there. I like to support the work they are doing with these animals, and it's a great learning experience for a lot of Austin school kids too.
They are privately funded through donations, fees, and gift sales. The staff is dedicated to caring for the animals, many of which would otherwise have to be euthanized.
Anyway, who would have thought such cool symmetry on a Zebra's butt? The Cougars shot were through chain-link fencing.

Thank you Morris. You're a nice guy, and an excellent photographer to boot!
I was impressed with the pattern on the Zebra butt -- I wouldn't have gotten the shot if he hadn't turned his back to me when he saw my camera -- just like my cat!

I don't think either of us are in danger of violating forum rules -- at least I hope not!
Thanks for the comment.

Just took a look at my cat, wonderful how they look so alike. I always feel bad for the animals, so thanks for your support, much respect

Well, no two zebra stripes are reportedly the same, so effectively that's one unique buttprint!

I like your 2 portraits. I too like you butt shot and would like it even more if it were offset a little left or the right.

Great tribute to those who care for these creatures. That is a handsome cat, and yes, a very nice zebooty!
