    These two goofs were brother and sister. They were very affectionate not only with each other, but also with us keepers. Tigers "moan" when they want something, like when a dog whines for a tummy scratch. They also loved to swim and wrestle in the water with huge logs.
     Why did God make tiger fur so soft? So it feels good when you hug them :-) Clouded Leopard fur is even softer.

This is a painting (believe it or not) by Carl Brenders.

His work is incomprehensibly detailed and as you can see, photographic in its quality.

Such artistic talent is a reflection of the character of our Creator, not a product of chance mutations.

Any questions?

Tigers were created by the LORD to share in His love with men and women, playing in the garden of Eden.  Eden is gone, due to Satan and selfish sin, but one day the carnivores will lay down with the lambs and a little child will lead them (Isaiah 11 & 65):

Ringling Brothers Circus Trainer - Sarah Houke
Reminds me of Isaiah 11 & 65, lion laying down with a lamb.
One day, we'll all be able to play, safely with God's awesome creatures - for his glory.
