Yaawwnnn…, by Kurien Koshy Yohannan

Got an opportunity to visit the Edinburgh Zoo recently. Though the entire focus is on the Giant Pandas at the moment, I for one love the big cats and hence take every opportunity to spend as much time as possible with these majestic beasts. It was when I was spending time with the Amur Leopards at the zoo that I managed to capture this shot of the Amur Leopard yawning. Though they look pretty cute when they yawn, one must never forget the strength that these animals possess.
