This meerkat looks pretty mean in this picture. I caught this meerkat when it was yawning & the image came across like it was some kind of psycho about to kill me.

Komodo Dragon: Singapore Zoo
Looks like they found that the origin of Komodo Dragons has been found to be Australia, not Indonesia as many may have thought.
I remember reading a Douglas Adams’ book called Last Chance to See, in which he claimed that the Komodo Dragon had the worst breath that would probably kill you.
Jaguar: Chiang Mai Zoo
This picture of a Jaguar was modified using Picnik from this original here. As you can see from the original, the glass of the cage put some strange aberrations in the photo that couldn’t be easily corrected with any of the tools I had at my disposal (I don’t use Photoshop because I haven’t had the time to really learn it). I used Picnik to change the color to black & white, played around with the contrast a little bit, and then went for a focal zoom effect on Picnik to create some “movement” in the picture.
Female Lioness: San Francisco Zoo
Out of all of the animals in the animal kingdom, I have a special place in my heart for all members of the Big Cat family. Lions are interesting to me because they’re more of a social group than other members of the cat family, something that is fairly unusual (Tigers, for example, are pretty much solitary animals once they mature).

Polar Bear Sticking Tongue Out: San Francisco Zoo
This is a picture of a Polar Bear sticking his tongue out (not at me, I hope!) from the San Francisco Zoo a little bit ago. A couple of things about this picture stand out to me:
1. The color of the Polar Bear’s tongue is kind of mottled.
2. The skin of the Polar Bear is actually not quite as white as I would have expected. While I assume this to be an issue of the living conditions in a zoo, I think many people think the fur is going to be as white as snow.
