Seperated by thick glass it almost felt as though I could touch him.
Born at Mogo Zoo, New South Wales, Australia on 1 April, 2004.
Juma (the Indonesian name for mountain summit) is a stunning looking and powerful Sumatran tiger.
It is the smallest of the tigers alive today - a Sumatran male will measure an average of 2.4m from its nose to the tip of its tail and weigh between100-170kg.
Sumatran tigers are endangered species, with about 350 remaining in the wild.
With a very laid-back personality, Juma is often used for filming and is normally the first adult tiger to be introduced to new handlers at the Australian Zoo (also better known to some as the Steve Irwin zoo).

Beautifully taken - love the soft focus. Juma is such a handsome lad
Loving this shot too. You have captured the expression on his face so well, as well as the movement of the tiger. They are so beautiful, and you have done him justice with this photo. Beautiful!
