Flashback to September 2010 . . . Amur tiger Uri at Nordens Ark wildlife park in Sweden. Over the years I took more than 400 pictures of this magnificent boy, who was born at Linton Zoo in Cambridgeshire, UK. He passed away in 2019 at the age of 14.

Six years ago today. I was so young and starry eyed back then, just an intern learning how to be a professional tiger for the first time. Those were the days! #tiger #tigers #tigersofbluesky #catsofbluesky

Even more friends staying over for a while: Adora-ble is Adora, seen her pondering soup recipe options with her femur bone. #tiger #tigers #tigersofbluesky #catsofbluesky
More new friends staying over for a while. This lady’s got a room down the hall from me. I think she got terribly frightened at one point and that’s how she lost all of her colors! #tiger #tigers #tigersofbluesky #catsofbluesky
A tiger laying on straw.
New friends crashing at my place: This is King David, he’s got the room on the other side of mine and boy is he a H-U-N-K! #tiger #tigers #tigersofbluesky #catsofbluesky
