Christmas Morning at the San Diego Zoo - Tiger and Fishing Cat

I spent a few hours on Christmas morning with the Malayan Tiger and the Fishing Cat at the San Diego Zoo. I've been going to the Zoo on Christmas morning for years, and really enjoy it. For some reason I seem to meet more interesting people that one day than almost any other, and this year was no exception.

Most of my time was spent watching Connor, the Malayan Tiger, and at the same time visiting with some friends who also photograph there on a regular basis.  

After a few hours with Connor my friends and I decided to take a short lunch break. On our way up the hill we spotted the female Fishing Cat sitting on top of a log in the bright sunlight. Lunch would have to wait a bit.

I guess this is a comfortable way to stretch out in the sun?
