I’ll be posting here in the next few days and weeks with additional details and pictures from my trip to Berlin which is now, sadly, over. For today, please enjoy some (mostly) non-tiger pictures from my visit to the Berlin Zoo on Monday, September 15.

My first view of the tigers was so close, just on the other side of this window

The tiger’s front paw, through the glass.

This seal was posing so proudly for such a long time


This wolf seemed to enjoy engaging with the people watching him

Don’t know what kind of animal this is but there were several of them and they were very actively engaged with each other

This lion’s mane was just gorgeous – it’s too bad he was only inside the entire length of my visit

Big yawn from a sleepy lion
