What You Looking At, Tiger?

December 2009: KOLD News 13 held its Christmas Party at the Reid Park Zoo that year, taking in the magic of the twinkling "Zoo Lights," a private room for the festivities, and oh yeah, animals too.

Photos from my past and the tales they tell.

This tiger I photographed in honor of my alma mater, The University of Missouri. If I had taken a video, you would see it pacing around and around in a circular path behind some rocks and back up to the bars again, softly whimpering.

"Looks like me one hour before the newscast," I quipped. I'm not sure if it was looking for prey or prozac.
