Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

As mentioned in the last post, I have a friend (and now her daughter) that I take photography trips with. We decided to go to the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Sanctuary in Eureka Springs, Ar to take photos . Most of my photos actually ended up not really coming out great because of the cages.
So here are a few of the shots I got. The photos are of three different tigers (actually, I THINK they were of a tiger, a tigon and a liger, but I can't remember for certain).

Ligers and tigons are not natural made, they are man created. If I remember correctly, they are sterile and are unable to breed.

Ok. so I know this isn't an animal, but I HAD to get a shot of it!

I think he got bored posing!

He decided to have fun with the ball....

This little guy decided he wanted to join in on the fun.... but he couldn't get in right away. He instead walked around the pool a few times first.

We thought he was having a blast with the ball. Then we figured out the ball was stuck on his tooth!

This is his second time around, he's having trouble showing disinterest....

He decided to test the waters first...

He finally got in, just in time for the other cat to take a nip!

This is a different cat altogether. He just looks so regal!

This is actually a great place to visit. They focus primarily on cats, but they have a monkey and a bear too! If you're interested in visiting them, or would like more information, you can check out their website at www.turpentinecreek.org

I hope you enjoyed. Please upvote/comment/resteem! Thanks!

They are so very beautiful. All cats have been my favorite since I'm very young. I have a hard time picking a favorite out of all of them. Such regal and fun loving photos. Thank you for posting. : )

Thanks! And You're welcome! I think cats are absolutely beautiful and elegant, I was glad I got to go!

Tigers are very special animals! <3
Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos with us!

They're beautiful! And you're welcome!

Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience.

I have found that, in the composition of the human body as compared with the bodies of animals, the organs of sense are duller and coarser. Thus, it is composed of less ingenious instruments, and of spaces less capacious for receiving the faculties of sense.

My interest in photography is not to capture an image I see or even have in my mind, but to explore the potential of moments I can only begin to imagine.

I'm really interested in photography, like every other human being.

I just love tigers so much!! Great photos!

Thanks Lisa! Btw... your dad opened a steemit account too! I don't think he's done anything with it yet though....

What is his Steemit name?
