First tiger pic

This is one of the professional stills of Husband and myself with Mohan, a 14-year-old white tiger at Dreamworld:



I have much to do and much to write. But not just yet.

It seemed more than appropriate :-)

That is such a nice pic. Husband looks a teeny bit nervous. Tiger looks like he has just consumed the photographer's assistant.

It says "Contact" and is next year's Swancon T-shirt.

Awesome photo but how is it that tigga didn't want to eat you both? Mellow, well fed tiger? :)
BTW; Dubbo Zoo does a tiger feeding thingy also.

There were three handlers just out of shot, and the tiger was on a very short chain attached to the platform. We only had a couple of seconds to take the photos, and the rest of the time there was a handler at the tiger's head. Full story (and video!) to follow.
