A fine set of whiskers and great timing on your part.
WOW what a fantastic shot Lillian, perfect in every way IMHO 
Hugh
Excellent timing, Lillian, the snarl says she's not that keen on you taking the shot 
Dave
What a beautiful animal Lillian. I am not at all anti zoo's and collections but what a shame that such a creature must be contained in such a way. I do understand all the reasons for zoo's to exist but in my mind I have an image of this glorious creature bounding free.
I shall now dry my eyes and vote !!!
Ron
Fab detail Lillian especially taken through glass,
Geoff.
Bit disappointed Lillian! You get in an enclosure with a fox and let it jump all over you, and you take this behind glass, she is a pussy after all.
Only kidding this is excellent and would not know that there was glass, excellent capture!

Trev.
Those front teeth look pretty long, too, Lillian! A very well timed shot to catch her snarling like that, and of course, an excellent quality image 
Trev
Thank You all
Ron, the WHF is a breeding program where they hope to breed and release into their natual habitat,
there has been so many terrible acts against all the big cats in the wild
this is their way to get them back into the wild, and it was the only place to photograph without us giving any germs
to them and they do have fantastic large runs to roam in
I prefer to sponsor a cat there (ZIZI) each year ..instead of xmas cards and postage...think about it!
Lillian
fine expression captured Lillian think she fancied you as a wee pre lunch snackette
Graham
A fantastic shot of this fiercesome beast, most impressive given that it was taken through glass
WOW! this Cat would think it couldn't get through a Barn Door with those Whiskers Lillian.
Great shot.
John
So glad to hear about the breeding program, Lillian, and I therefore feel a lot better about this beautiful creature behind glass.
they are so graceful, even if they show you the teeth.
fantastic quality Lillian, through glass that is superb.
