This little guys name is Mikey. He and his brothers and sister are 13 months old and just magnificent animals. All the tigers here are hand raised and used to people. I as well as other visitors contribute to the raising by scatching their bellies, as you can see he hates the attention.




You can approach a tiger from the rear and not have much chance of them thinking you want to play. I can't imagine play with one of these brutes, one swipe of their paw and it could easily break your neck. Mikey liked to be upstage most of the time anyway so who was I to argue.
