He is Gorgeous, what a wonderful close-up, he's roaring to get back to his jungle poor dear...I've loved your series for its outstanding quality but still it saddened me greatly to see caged animal, but that's not your fault, so let me just say congratulations :)

White tigers are so beautiful and so majestic... look at this attitude !! a creature that we must protect absolutly... and may be in zoo it's possible because in the nature they are in danger... men are so crazy !!

@Evelyne Dubos: Unfortunatelly it's true. This is a very rare species that is in risk. All by our fault, the humans. :(
Thanks a lot Eve
@Dimitrios: Probably I could... but I guess this would be my first and last. :) Thanks Dimitrios

@Kylie Greenan: He was watching the cable car passing over his space. Probably was thinking in another meal. :)
I thought to post this one in "Caturday" but one of the rules is "no cats in cages" and this one is...
Thanks Kylie

Nice camera angle, a magnificent white lion, quite a rarity.

@Richard_Irwin: You are right. It's a magnificent species and it's disappearing. One day it will only be possible to see them in the zoos.
Thanks a lot Richard

An image of exceptional beauty, super angle, and the dabbling light is perfect. Lovely job Rui.

Rui, thank you for your response, I think I may have misled you, cats in zoo's are fine, but not an image of a cat physically confined in a small cage as it looks cruel, cat enclosurs of the zoo kind are fine... so I hope you will join us in the challenge!
