Well, this week I have been fortunate enough to pet many animals at the county fair that one usually does not get to! On Thursday I went on the radio with Oslo, and two 7 month old Black Bear cubs were on before us, and I petted them! They were adorable, but I know what they grow up to be! The lady rescued them and she runs educational shows with them and their 3 other full grown bears. Today I fed a Brahma Bull and made the mistake of holding my cup of feed too close to him while I was feeding him out of my other habd and he took my whole left hand in his mouth! Luckily I stayed very calm (thinkg like these have happened before) and balled up my fist so he couldn't reach my skin with his teeth untill he let go, and I'm fine. I also petted Llamas and kangaroos, mountain goats and a water buffalo! I payed 15 whole bucks:eek: :eek: :o To pet a white Bengal Tiger cub! I got a picture, though too. His name was King, and his brother's name was Prince. They were owned by this private company that "rescues" them and does the "real work" for zoos, moving the large animals and raising the zoo's orphans.:rolleyes: They were a little sketchy, but I got to pet a tiger cub! I have made up my mind that I won't be intirely happy unless I'm taking care of large animals and big cats. I want to get a zoology degree and animal behaviour.
Here is King.

You are SO lucky! *faints* :eek: When I was about 8 I got to pet a BIG full grown male tiger... and get my picture with him. I remember almost stepping on his tail... I wonder how that would have turned out. :o Anyways, the bear cubs sound CUTE too! I looovee white tigers, though. I also want to get a zoology degree. BTW, the tiger striped bunny in your av is adorable. :-D

LUCKY! I saw on the "Awsome Pawsome" show on animal planet that they walk the adult tigers through the park for guests to pet!:eek: The tiger bun must have taken soooo long for someone to do! I found it on www.bunnyrabbit.com they have great products for rabbits there.

yeah, like I said before, I'm pretty sure that that was a picture of a rabbit that someone spent a loooooonnnng time in photoshop putting the stripes on.
