Ambush attitude - a photo on Flickriver

Ambush attitude

            A big male Siberian tiger looks at the visitators of Cornelle park, hiding himself in the shadow. Looking at this photo I wonder if he had  placed himself under wind, ready to attack.
I do not like to see animals in captivity, but kids love zoos, and my son is no exception.
This park states that one of his goals is trying to promote the preservation of endangered species, like Siberian Tigers and the White Tigers of Benghala. Both the species had cubs born in captivity, in the park, during the last years.


Un grande maschio di tigre siberiana guarda i visitatori del parco delle Cornelle, nascondendosi nell'ombra. Guardando questa foto mi chiedo se si fosse anche messo sottovento, pronto a colpire.
Non mi piace vedere gli animali in cattività, ma i bambini adorano gli zoo e mio figlio non fa eccezione.
Questo parco afferma che uno dei suoi obiettivi è cercare di promuovere la conservazione delle specie in via di estinzione, come le tigri siberiane e le tigri bianche del Bengala. Entrambe le specie hanno avuto cuccioli nati in cattività, nel parco, negli ultimi anni.
