This is a beautiful capture of a very special animal ( thanks for the info) which looks so peaceful, but I expect that if he get a change to grasp one of the ducks (your uploads earlier this week) it will be a happy meal for him. Excellent capture!! Have a very nice evening Henk

So sad this species is endangered... I would not like to distract him, Dennis. He seems ready to pounce. A superb shot of this majestic creature. Diane.

What a gorgeous animal. I like the way you've cropped this - it highlights the idea of all that potential energy. Nice! (The first thing I thought of was "Confuse-A-Cat," but this guy looks okay to me!)

This is a great shot and I love how it shows that he is, indeed, ready to pounce. It breaks my heart to think that they are so critically endangered.
