the "Parc des félins" in lumigny (France, close to Paris)

I visited this park twice. Like my Kitty, small and big cats spend most of their time sleeping so my pictures are not specialy spectacular!

What a wonderful park it must have been to see all these beautiful big cats!

.. big and rare small cats too, Pallas, golden, fishers, swamp..! :)

The white tiger there, proving that all cats large and small can lay in that front-half-facing-one-way-back-half-facing-the-other pose which looks extraordinary a human eye, but seems perfectly comfortable to a cat!

My favourite's the caracal, and great to see a jaguarundi for a change, I've never seen those in zoos (and not so often in nature programmes on tv, either, it took me a moment to remember their name!)

Great selection of cats and I too like the jaguarundi as I have not seen them in any zoo I've been too.

Clearly, the caracal got very excited when it saw another caracal! Great photos.

Oh goodness, that baby jaguarundi! What a special thing to see! It looks like an awesome place to visit, what cool animals. And that white tiger made me laugh. Very relaxed!!

George, Taos and Gill, jaguarundis are not common in zoo, I just met two other ones at the zoo of Berlin.. :)

Beautiful pics! I've been there a few years ago and it was very nice. The enclosure are wide so it's hard to take pictures (and like you said kitties spend their time to sleep ^^)
I need to find the pics from that day to post them here!
