IF you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

call of the wild

November 26, 2008

 

for some reason, pictures of young cubs (particularly huge cats) hold a compelling fascination for me — the wilder and more untamed, the better. i like looking at dog pictures, too, but wild animals are another matter. i suppose that’s just my ornery, perverse nature cropping up, but i just can’t resist ‘em.

the fact that they’re rarely seen (except in zoos and documentary films) and are savagely beautiful make them an irresistible magnet for a clueless tenderfoot like me. you may call it what you like, but there’s something about these pictures that connects with me on a basic level

three white lion cubs

 

a couple of bengal tigers

peek-a-boo: a snow leopard

 

this one’s named cinderella by its clearly besotted owner. she’s too domesticated to make the grade, but i’m including her in this gallery for contrast. nyeheh.
