Thanks to both of you for the comments. When I caught her, she was just relaxing in the mid-afternoon sun. Yes, she looks like you could pet her, but I saw her get up and tussle with the male. I'll stay back! ;-)

Just wonderful....I was going to joke that your front yard makes me nervous...you maybe should have left out that these were in the zoo....lol.

But seriously, superb...!
