Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah is a little tiny zoo, mostly they have lots of different Macaws, a couple kinds of lemurs, and reindeer and alpaca. But they also have 2 Bengal Tigers and 2 Cougars. They don't use glass walls, preferring wire cages and metal bars for the exhibits.

This was my first real trip out with my 100-400mm lens, and I loved it. I didn't actually even get a bad shot, just ones that weren't as good as others, and a couple that were photographer error.

Wow, I haven't been to the zoo since I was little, and I live about a mile away. I didn't know they had a golden bengal. What a majestic animal.


It looks like you're having fun with that new lens. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Chandler. I've made a few trips up to that zoo, it's small but it's great for testing new lenses because even on weekends, there's hardly anyone there.
