Amur Tiger "Anna" gave birth to a male cub in May named Yuri. This is Anna's first cub at the Erie Zoo. Unfortunately Yuri needed to be separated from his mom after he got a cut on his neck from some rough carrying by mom and over grooming. Luckily animal keepers took great care of little Yuri and he is now doing well.

As a nature photographer, I frequently shoot photos at the Erie Zoo. And I love taking pictures of tigers, especially cubs. 🙂
Yuri is currently on my blog, if you want to see what he looked like in September and how much hes grown. Check out my page:

Me too! I love all cats, great and small! Such truly magnificent creatures. I can’t wait to go back to the Bronx Zoo, so much has changed there since I was a child…back in the 50s and 60s!
