neat stuff : )
~~~
i can vouch for large and beautiful!! : )
a few years back, we went to a rare tiger preserve where we were pretty close to the tigers and other animals. here are some pics, ~ it was an incredible experience being with those animals,,

. though my one thought was always, " what if they break free of their chains! or if the handler loses his grip,, " ~
our group is standing on the deck o' the structure in the background here:
our group sat around the pool watching them "play", ~
a small group sat around and had tiger cubs and lynxes running around over us; here's hubby : ),~
,, and we sat on a wooden deck with a liger about 8 feet behind us, ~ now
that was scarey, but very, very cool : ). so was the falcon and a few other animals. what an experience to be so up close and personal w/them without the animals being in cages,,
