Majestic lion:


Trust me, it's a yawn, not a roar:


Tiger on the prowl (an overexposed and corrected shot)

I feel that Mandai zoo is better. Washington Zoo is bigger and less things to see. After one exhibit, you have to walk further to see another. There're also less animal shows. But it's free!

couldn't remember exactly but teleconverter was used for the first 4 and I need to use digital zoom to prevent vignetting. would need to check on the settings back home.
