It's an amazing feeling when you realize for the first time that you have a normal pet's complete trust. I can't even imagine the feeling when you realize that with a huge predator. It's got to be completely mind-blowing.

@Stellvia J Hoenheim U are not wrong, but I would argue that keeping some in captivity to help prevent their extinction justifies it a little bit

[@l.e.6263]

That’s why tigers are doomed to life imprisonment in zoos instead of thriving in biodiverse wild. Ppl pay to “touch them”, & have photos taken with tiger, esp cubs.

It is called bonding

You can really tell that Kaitlyn and Giles have a strong level of trust between them. Most animals are fiercely protective of their young, and yet she had no problem with him being there scratching her ear and even holding the cubs the next morning. Granted she was within attacking distance if he tried anything but she really seemed relaxed when he was around. It really goes to show just how much the people at Australia Zoo care about their animals.

[@anyascelticcreations]
