Swimming With Tigers
20 Oct
One of those things which always turns up on various ’50 things to do before you die’ lists is swimming with Dolphins but that is just so last year. This year it’s all about swimming with Tigers.
A centre in Miami called The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, or TIGERS has trained it’s tame tigers to swim with people in a specially designed pool. Personally I prefer the idea of swimming with Tigers to swimming with Dolphins, those smiles creep me out. Having said that I would worry that I might end up being little more than a light snack and a gory video clip on Youtube.
Bhagavan Antle, the Director of TIGERS has said:
“At the institute we feel that swimming with the big cats gives them a closer bond between the animal and their human companions. We found that in the water people and tigers were on a more equal footing when the tiger was swimming around on the top.”
