Saturday baby animal pic thread. Big cats ..... little kittens

[Monk06]

First up. Guess who

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Awww! Snow leopards?

[Monk06]

2. One for you ocelot ..............

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Oh, way too easy. That's MY baby!

Ocelots rule.

[Bunny]

3. Okay, here's one:

[Monk06]

6. Skinny Tigger .............. Here's a chubby one .........

[Bunny]

7. Goodness, that's a fearsome look!

:scared:

[LadyAziz]

30. I agree...

i might get nightmares.

[Haole Girl]

5. Baby Lions are so cute...

[Monk06]

8. Bubba Loo back at you ....................

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. How about this one?

I love baby cats.

[Monk06]

10. Cute I have that one but this one will kill ya ..............

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Judging by the huge ears, the dark nose and the black lines by the eyes,

I'd say that's a baby serval. Awwww! (I assume you guessed the identity of my cougar kitten).

[Monk06]

12. Yes to both questions. Servals are really beautifull. Love the fox ears.

[havocmom]

34. Marguey?

?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. OK, let's get a little more obscure. What are these guys?

[Monk06]

14. I was going to say leopards but your properties say Ocelots. Try this

????????????????

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Actually, they are Fishing Cats.

A rather obscure species of wildcat that live in southeast Asia. They swim and catch fish.

Your picture looks like a very annoyed cougar with unusually dark markings.

[Monk06]

16. Fishing Cats? I don't have one of those. Your close on mine but try again

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

OK, I'm stumped.

The face shape and markings look like a cougar. No ear tufts, so it can't be a bobcat or lynx. Florida panther, maybe?

[Monk06]

18. You got it Florida Panther. The rarest of the rare.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Delete - computer hiccup.

[joneschick]

19. may I play?

[Monk06]

20. That's a beauty. Did you get the cat to match the bedspread?

[joneschick]

22. I wish!

Actually, I'm not sure how I feel about some of the boutique breeds, but they sure are gorgeous!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Those ears!

Can he pick up radio broadcasts from Mars?

[benny05]

21. How About this one?

[Monk06]

23. Looks like Ocelot's fishing cat.

[joneschick]

24. what a face!

this is the one I really wanted to find. (I couldn't for the life of me, spell the name properly)

[benny05]

26. Those are of the lynx family aren't they?

But not certain what they are...cutesobabes, tho'

[joneschick]

27. Probably related to the lynx........

they were just my favorites at the zoo.

[Monk06]

29. Baby Lynx twins

[joneschick]

32. omg. :heart melting:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. Caracals?

[benny05]

25. This one is also obscure

Geoffroy Cat

[joneschick]

33. Oh my! what a beauty!

[havocmom]

35. Not the kitten editions, but some of my old favs to visit

comes in gray or brownish tan

and this shy little critter, I got to see when there were babies in the den


Oh, how I loved visiting 'Cat Canyon' at the Desert Museum.

[benny05]

36. How Cool

Is this the Desert Museum near Phoenix?

[havocmom]

37. Just west of Tucson, over Gate's Pass

It is a fantastic place. Great plant/animal info and gardens. There is a camp ground on the way and it is just so peaceful. But there are critters about one must respect.

Used to keep membership at the Desert Museum. Went often. They have a program in summer where they are open Saturday nights and it is a whole different game! There is star gazing in the little ampitheater. If it is cloudy, there is Native American storytelling. The night critters are about and the docents are most interesting.

They also have camp programs and sleepovers for kids in summer. Great reference library.

But is it best for the good it does one's blood pressure ;)
