Day 29 - Tiger Kingdom

We could tell deep down that there was something not quite right about the idea of breeding Tigers in captivity and keeping them tame for the enjoyment of the paying customer.

But at the same time, this was just simply an awesome opportunity to get up close and enjoy one of the worlds most magnificent creatures, so morals and all that aside for the day. I also cant imagine this being allowed when the kids grow up... so we were all in!! (especially when they said we could'nt play with any of the big tigers as our children were too small...Phewee!!.. no argument there! - they were massive)

So these are two month old cubs, and we were clearly disturbing the 18hr of sleep they try to get a day!


Immy didnt get too much coverage - so here is a nice photo to, (more in the pics section)

  1. Wow Immy. Not many girls can say they have stroked Tiger cubs. You're two very luck children to have all these wonderful experiences along your travels.
    It's sounds like you're all having a ball.
    Auntie sized kisses and cuddles coming your way. Love to your mum and dad too. Xxx

  2. Hi Imogen, I've been following your journey and the elephants and the tiger cubs looked wicked, you are sooooo lucky, we are just about to start half term here and the weather is dull and wet and horrible.
