Continuing my latest 'sweeps month' (November, 2017), I have the first in a series of 'photo-ops' taken back in July of this year, at the Palm Beach Zoo in Dreher Park (located in West Palm Beach, Florida).

My good friend Kevin Duane and I ventured to this particular zoo - which I haven't been to since the late 1990s. I wanted Kevin to hang out with me, since he was nice enough to help me out (earlier in the year) with the replacing of my last PC. Together, we took in as much of the zoo as possible - taking lots of pictures of the animals there with our respective cameras (I, with a disposable camera, and Kevin with his smartphone).

One of the animals I was looking forward to seeing was the tiger. Most people associate these big cats with Siberia and/or Bengal. But the ones at the Palm Beach Zoo are Malaysian tigers. Equally beautiful in appearance and majesty, they never fail to attract big crowds.

This is one of three snapshots I took of this Malaysian tiger, as it was pacing around its caged enclosure. You'll be even more amazed at the next two 'photo-ops' of it, and what it did - the moment the crowds left the area. And you can find out more about these big cats by going to the zoo's website at https://www.palmbeachzoo.org
