Tiger in B&W

{converted to BW from color)
This one has a story. So the plexiglass is about 3/4" thick and this guy and his kid are standing right next to us. Well the Tiger comes up and decides to eat the kid! It jumps really hard and unbelievably quick at the girl..really whamo! on the glass, shakes the whole glass or plastic panel like crazy, really scared the guy...maybe this tiger doesn't like cameras, was just a split second after this shot. Kinda scared me a bit too, I got an action shot but so blurred you couldn't tell what it was...don't think even if I'd have had the predictive AF on it would have been fast enough that close...and at the 1/250th of this shot wouldn't have been anywhere fast enough. I've never seen anything so big move so fast.

Canon EOS 10D
1/250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

I missed this one earlier. Hmmm... zoo, or did you get your time machine going again? ;)
