lol I love the title, nice shot! The lions at my local zoo have yet to even be seen awake (by me at least).

Thanks! We got lucky on this trip. The lions had their eyes open and the tigers were positively frisky.

Look how proud and handsome he is. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a domestic version the size of a house cat about 8 pounds?

LOL! I HAVE one...although he's more like 19 pounds and really acts more like a tiger. He even chuffs like a tiger to say hello. The attitude is certainly there...as is the mane. Try a Maine Coon - you can have your own big cat!

Heh. Don't push it hon! Pound for pound the most dangerous animal on the planet is the domestic house cat. Lots of zoo vets say the lions are easier to handle! Besides, they are velcro cats...meaning they are attached to you. Trust me, you don't want them any heavier when they walk across your bladder in the middle of the night.

We may have passed each other then! DA people need like a secret handshake or a tattoo proclaiming us to each other.

Most definitely!!

It should be required to wear a secret pin, like you said a tattoo!!
