Thanks for all the comments, I am quite pleased with both my entries to this first challenge of mine. Considering both shots were taken through 3/4" perspex viewing windows, I have managed to keep some sharpness. Did get some funny looks cleaning the viewing panels with wet wipes! I have to agree, that although Marwell does some great captive breeding, these aninals should be in the wild. - Steve aka redbull99

Love the shape of his head with those wide-spaced ears. Very cute cat. And perfect for this challenge. Ann C

Great catch and nicely composed but what's a cute little cat like this doing in the zoo :)

Edit: I just read that the Sand cat is one of the smallest of all the wild cat species. Quit interestinghttp://dspace.dial.pipex.com/agarman/sandcat.htm

Ok, I am a sucker for the animals and I will admit it, flower shots. LOL This is so cute. Yvonne
