Though not as rude as a peeing tiger which is a very rude thing indeed. You would be very welcome in the unlikely event he describes to come and clean up at our place, we have a hose pipe in the garden.<br /><br />The tiger in question lifted its tail and did the tom cat thing out of the mesh of its enclosure. The resulting arc easily cleared the ten feet or so of ground to the safety barrier and landed on the path where I had been standing a moment before. I didn't hang around to notice what it smelled like.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572597865932195411.post-61446217360552882662013-06-08T09:45:20.363-07:002013-06-08T09:45:20.363-07:00On reflection, having owned a tomcat I suspect tha...On reflection, having owned a tomcat I suspect that a male tiger would smell similar, multiplied by a factor of a hundred so...<br /><br /><br /> Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365391659955928592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572597865932195411.post-16080561062516236942013-06-08T02:34:25.576-07:002013-06-08T02:34:25.576-07:00Julia, stop fantasising!

The binturong is very elusive, as is the 'fishing cat' but we don't mind that, we all have days when we don't want to be social! <br /><br />I'd recommend the zoo, as you can tell from what I wrote I am very much for animal rights and I approve. And it's a nice place in which to wander, just the right size, lovely plants and contented animals.<br /><br />The only thing we haven't tried is the kids' play area :)<br /><br />I wonder if it's good luck to have a tiger pee on you? I expect it's quite aromatic! Is it part of the mating ritual? That would worry me a little, but quite flattering!

He's doubtful about zoos but I'm sure this will set his mind at rest!<br /><br />Have you actually seen the snow leopard? The zoo's information is quite honest about the fact that they're nocturnal so not necessarily very visible. In fact it seems to me a sign of a good zoo if you can't always easily see the animals as it means they've got space to retire to. Love the story about the free-thinking orangutan! A tiger in the zoo at Lyon once tried to pee on me. They can't half shoot it a long way...Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.com
