Took a shot at this beautiful 3 month/old tiger 2 days ago at Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Cute little guy! You didn't take any more photos?

Of course I took many

Here, another one

Awww, so cute! Were you able to pet him/her???

we played with them for about 15 minutes but we have to be careful. Its not a domestic cat. Altough this baby tiger has only 3 month old, you have to see the size of his paw/claw..
and they can bit like a pitbull.. We had our guide close by telling us how to approach him and what to not do..

Wow that is super cool you got to see him like that! I imagine it would be quite dangerous. Very cool experience!

For sure it was an awesome experience.
Here is the notice at the entrance of the cage.
We cannot grab the tiger by our self. We have to let him come to us

HAha cool! I wonder why you have to approach them from behind... wouldn't that scare them ? I assume it would have something to do with the natural instinct of the tiger, though.

in South Africa i use to go to the lion park regularly
there you also get to play with the cubs, includung elbino lion cubs
they are seriously cute, very playful
its amazing how strong they are even at 3months and yeah their paws are massive

once i was on my haunches stroking a cub, and a slightly older elbino cub did the whole crouch and stalk me thing from behind, go onto a rock and then pounced on me, knocking me over with easy, he thought it was fun
