I dropped by the Denver Zoo Sunday afternoon to take a few animal portraits. As usual, the lion cub was more than happy to pose for the camera. I like an animal that looks you right in the eye when you take their photograph. Those are the ones that make the best house pets. I imagine that's why that guy who was in the news a few months ago kept a 200 pound Bengal tiger and a 5 foot alligator in his Manhattan apartment. It is estimated by experts that 10,000 to 15,000 tigers are kept in captivity as pets, as opposed to just 5,000 who are left in the wild. I, for one, am convinced what great pets these wild animals can be. I assume, of course, that they come already housebroken.
