These stunning pictures show a normally vicious tiger calmly swimming in a pool of algae.
The powerful cat takes a refreshing break by taking a dip in the bright green algae.
But it looks like this big cat is scared of getting his head wet as he strains to keep it above the water.
After splashing around for a bit the tiger gets out and tries to air-dry with specks of the vegetation dripping off his fur.
The striking pictures were taken at Copenhagen zoo by snapper Soren Lundgren Neilson.
Soren said: "I felt extremely blessed to witness the tiger playing around in the water.
"Especially when he stared right into the camera lens - it felt like I was in the right place at the right time.
"The tiger went for four swims in the 10 minutes I was photographing him - he just seemed to be having lots of fun."
Soren, 30, is a software developer by day but is a keen photographer who likes capturing sport, aviation and natural landscapes.
