Mar 30, 2006		     Oh and I forgot to add that this is at least a 50% crop of the original. I was using full zoom, 5mp ez mode and this is still a big crop of that. Didn't want to stretch the image quality too drastically.

Mar 30, 2006		     Thank you for your comments. Puffikat, these were taken at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. They raised the two together. The dog is 5 months old and the lion is 4 months old. They can't let them play in the nursery any more because they get too intense. They are supervised by a trainer in this outdoor area. It was great to see them play and be able to talk to the trainer about them. I was just lucky to catch them out playing early on a Monday morning with the place empty except for my sons, the trainer and the stars of the show, the lion and dog.

Mar 27, 2006		     Now how cute is that! Where do dogs and wild cats get to play like this? I might have cropped it a little to really focus on the two playmates.
