The Cheetah or the Tiger.
The Cheetah, has been a long time favourite. They have my admiration and they are so beautiful.
In a visit to the Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand, I had the privilege of bottle feeding a little baby tiger on my lap. It was only weeks old and about the size of a domestic cat. The darling little cat fell asleep in my arms. I wanted to take it home!
I also bottle feed 4 larger baby tigers in large holding pens.
But the most awesome experience was going into a fully grown adult tiger's cage and sitting beside the tiger with my arm resting on its back. The tiger was chained to its sleeping pad and 4 keepers were with me to keep things under control. The tiger was massive and its coat was not as soft as I expected. Going in the cage was a dare from my husband. The sign outside the cage said "Tiger Photos 100bt." When the tiger and I were both settled, my husband came in to take some photos. In these photos the tiger and I looked relaxed. Then the keepers persuaded him to sit by the tiger as well, and funny thing is, in those photos, both he and the tiger look a bit worried.
