Kitties playing in the snow - pics

Big Kitties!


Siberian tigers play in the winter snow at Skopje ZOO February 7, 2012.










White lions play in the snow in the zoo in the Serbian capital Belgrade February 7, 2012. Zookeepers said it was highly unusual for lions to emerge from their cages and play in the winter snow, which has otherwise caused chaos in the Balkan country and across Europe.








A lion (R) plays with white lions in the snow in the zoo in the Serbian capital Belgrade February 7, 2012. Zookeepers said it was highly unusual for lions to emerge from their cages and play in the winter snow, which has otherwise caused chaos in the Balkan country and across Europe.


A lion cub plays with a snowball at the Belgrade Zoo on February 5, 2012. In Serbia, almost 70,000 people are still cut off from their villages and 32 municipalities have declared a state of emergency, mostly in the south and southwest of the country. So far, nine people have died of cold in the country. The snow, which stopped falling early today, is expected to start again overnight, with temperatures falling below minus 10 degrees Celsius.

on the planet.

And our housecats are so much like them in so very many ways. Which is why we like cats.

Why is it that some of the most efficient predators on this planet are also the most beautiful?

Cats are prime carnivores and with their size and killing abilities, they should be the top species on this planet. But then you get a scrawny primate with a Big Brain and powerful tools who covet their skins and their territories--then presto! The cats become endangered.

Large felines kill to eat. Naked apes kill for all sorts of reasons, sometimes just for the sake of killing. Not judging, just sayin.
