Fw: A Tiger's Tale


Today we finally got to go the Siberian Tiger Preserve. It is a large complex towards the outskirts of the city. We had planned to find a way there, but our guide and driver offered to take us. I guess I'm glad they did. It was a long distance and it was nice to have our guide assist us. Once in the park, you get into a bus. The first thing you will notice is that all vehicles going into the tiger areas have cages around the windows, doors, and tires. The best seats are nearest a window. Once we were seated and the tickets taken, went headed into the tiger areas. The park is laid out like Jurassic Park. The vehicle goes up to a gate and it opens. We drive in and the gate closes behind us. .Then they drive around looking for tigers. We got to see Siberian tigers, white tigers, lovers, etc. The breeds are in their own section. At the end, they strip us off at a walking tour. This is a caged in boardwalk. At certain areas, they have openings. This is where they drop live chickens. I guess you c as n pay for this, but we did not get to witness a feeding. For the most part, the animals stayed in the shade. It was neat to see all these animals.

If you want to see what a feeding is like, look up Siberian Tiger Preserve Harbin, China and feeding on Youtube.  Be warned, it's graphic.
