F 3.5 G (VR), 200 mm (Nikor ED Af AD 70-300mm), 1/500, ISO 200, Toronto Zoo, 10:45 AM - This female Jaguar saw me and started running over.
Allan L. Whitehead May 07, 2004
This magnificent female Jaguar saw me and started running over. She yelled out "we heard you went to 'African Lion Safari'. You told us we had an exclusive contract Dr. Love for his show and now you're jeopordizing our chances of joining TSS, by cutting a special deal with that 'jungle' in Hamilton. We're all really very upset with you. Potions are being prepared, spells are being written, someone will pay for this, eh… (he, he, he) #125438Colette M. Metcalf May 07, 2004
LOL Allan! Beautiful image!!! #524137Paul Michko May 07, 2004
Nothing runs like a Jag, especially when they are in danger of not hooking up with the DOCTOR LOL!!! Great capture, Allan. #524152Ron Bolger May 07, 2004
Great capture Allan, so proud and majestic. Sounds like the word is out on you though. LOL Ron #524160Claudia Kuhn May 07, 2004

Thanx everybody (Kelly, Barbara, and Casey) for the greatly appreciated comments. Kelly, I do. Casey, she is hungry, its her lunch time. Barbara, its not her eyes that I was worried about, eh… - Allan #525051Robin L. Wehrman May 07, 2004
Excellent shot Allan! Great color and motion in this photo, well done! #525085Leonard Pierce May 07, 2004
Great job here, Allan with the photo AND the story!!! #525115Allan L. Whitehead May 07, 2004
Thanx Robin, and Len, for the nice comments which are truly always appreciated. To me, photographs are informative, the stories are an awful lot of fun, and the reaction back from all my wonderrful BP friends make each day rewarding and heart-felt. Thank you all, so very much, again - your dear friend, Allan #525163Bonnie C. Lackey May 07, 2004
Allan, she was just wondering if you were the guy with the broccoli whistle! Great stalking shot... #525169Allan L. Whitehead May 07, 2004
Thank you so much Bonnie for the great comments. Brocoli whistles have been banned in Canadian Zoos and preserves. They were being used so much the animals heads would revolve 360º over and over. They would levitate and the game keepers would have a heck of a time getting them back on the ground, eh… Allan #525188Terry R. Hatfield May 07, 2004
Another Great Story Allan! And This Beautiful Animal Deserves Some Recognition I Like The Motion Allan Very Good!! #525255Susan T. Parady May 07, 2004

I really like how you captured the detail in her spots alongside the action blur, Allan, hope she doesn't hold a grudge for long so you can get some more wonderful photos of her! #525572Evy Johansen May 07, 2004
:-) Wonderful capture, Allan! #525673Allan L. Whitehead May 08, 2004
Thanx for the great comments Carol and Evy, as always, they are appreciated. Not to worry, Carol, I am re-negotiating the contract with the Zoo and Dr. Love because now I have "Safari" as a ploy, eh… I "Cat" wait till we're done, so I can purr a little - your friend, Allan #525891Karen Engelbreth May 08, 2004
