Always a Fan Favorite

With the arrival of the new Sumatran Tiger pair at Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Asian Tiger may soon become a rare sight on the Maharajah Jungle Trek. But even if they move to other zoos, we will never forget how beautiful and awe-inspiring they were.

Licking the Chops

The tigers on the Maharajah Jungle Trek are amazing, but often times look like nothing more than a tiger print lump in the grass. But sometimes you can be lucky enough to see them during feeding times. This photo was snapped just before the chow came...

Happy Big Cat Day!

That's correct, today Disney's Animal Kingdom is celebrating Big Cat Day, which is also know in the conservation community as Global Tiger Day.  So what would make a better choice for today's photo safari than a picture of one of the majestic tigers at the Maharajah Jungle Trek?

Just Resting Her Eyes

I really could make an entire blog of just tiger photographs I have taken over the years at the Maharajah Jungle Trek, I have that many photos in my archive.  And this is a favorite of mine from around 2007 or so.

I simply love the chilled out and relaxed expression this girl has.  My wife has this look a lot on a weekend afternoon and when I ask if she is taking a nap the response I get is "I'm just resting my eyes."  Life is good in Disney's Animal Kingdom I guess.

Soak Up The Sun

I have an enduring affection for the tigers of Maharajah Jungle Trek.  I can trace my love of Disney's Animal Kingdom directly back to an evening spent watching these girls and snapping away with my old Nikon film camera.

Wakey Wakey Mister Tiger

Today's photo comes from a morning trip to the Maharajah Jungle Trek, where apparently Jungle Jim's Hawaiian shirt and Bermuda shorts combo must have been loud enough to wake this tiger from a nice nap.
