Johnson, get your butt into my office!
What did I do now, Boss? I thought I was improving as a news photographer.
You are! I see all of our clients used YOUR photos of new those tiger cubs at the zoo. It’s as if the competition didn’t even send anybody!
They did send a photographer, Boss. The tigers ate him. It was pretty gross.
And while this poor guy was being torn limb from limb, you just kept shooting the cute little cubs?
Er, yes I did, Boss.
Huzzah, Johnson! You’re turning into a real professional, right before my eyes! Uh, Johnson? What happened to his cameras?
It was the damnedest thing, Boss. The tigers took his equipment and started playing journalist.
It’s their instinct, Johnson. You never heard of cub reporters?

We can paws a moment to honor the new cub reporter. He seems to have a nose for news as well as paws…
They are beautiful, BG. But I think I’ll keep my distance.
BAAAABIEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!
When we go to Busch Gardens, I spend hours watching the tigers. Though I would love to play with them, Onedoor is right…I’ll respect them for the wild animals they are and keep my distance.
They kinda look like baby Zeeba’s.
Going for the head before the prey is incapacitated, that is definitely a rookie mistake. A skull is too hard to try to crack while the prey is still able to thrash about. That little tiger is lucky his bros came in to help take down the reporter or things coulda gotten ugly. So much to learn little one, so much to learn.
Not surprising that it took a whole photographer to fill up these three cubs. Everyone knows that journalists are all fluff and no substance. If it had been a fashion photographer, they would still be hungry!
AllThatJazz…and if it were a fashion MODEL, not the photographer, they would have probably found no meat at all!
Are those paws or what… and I definitely dont want them anywhere near my head… babies or not..
I once had a tiny stray kitten I’d rescued that was happiest sitting on my head. I got used to it and just let it sit there nibbling my hair as I wandered around the office I worked in at the time. People would ask “Um… You do know there’s a cat on your head, right?” I missed him when I found him a home. But I didn’t miss the dribbling.
With a nod to Ray Bradbury:
Cute and fluffy and
oh-so-cute, but beware for

CG, you say the most amazing things…
PS: The camera survived.

According to reports, there has been a sudden spike in the sales of the Nikon Safari….
