Very nice shots. I went there this past week as well. The tigers were playful, but no natural looking opportunities, and the red pandas wouldn't cooperate for me. I did get some nice shots of the lions and cheetahs though.

For those that asked about timing, the lions and tigers are not released to their outside pens until 10AM. The cheetahs and pandas are out around 8AM. The orangutans come out between 11 and 11:30AM.

Beautiful series. I expected to see some hungry-looking grizzly for the bear... after the first two intense shots, the panda was a welcome surprise. Although, I hear they can be rather nasty, given the right (wrong?) circumstances.

Yes, Pandas are indeed bears in every sense. In fact, they can be more aggressive than our domestic black bear. It always cracks me up watching people next to me at the zoo cooing and baby talking to the pandas - if given half the chance - these pandas would rip their face off. :lol:

Oh My is what you would epect to say, but if the tiger was in the wild and you were that close, Oh My might become "OH SH..!"
Great photos - I love the tiger, and the lion and panda are great

That was my exact thought when I read that.....or OH CRAP if I could get my wits about me to use my manners..

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p
