Wow! What a great shot of the tiger having fun! He is absolutely gorgeous! I wish the zoo near my house had an enclosure more like that one. Then the poor tigers wouldn't pace so much from boredom.

That water looks so inviting! I'd love to strap on my snorkelling gear and take a swim!

Ah, so his name is King!
When I went there last year I saw this guy and the other orange Bengal Tiger.
Sadly, neither wanted to swim for anyone and were just moping around.
Wonderful shot c:

Thank you! It helped that we had one of the keeper's with us while we were playing hide-and-seek. That and it was a really warm day. I think this was the first time I've actually seen one of them swimming in the water.

That's pretty awesome.
Every time I go there the keepers are always away somewhere, so I never get to see them - but you're quite lucky then! ^^

Like that the tiger is shown half in and half out of the water.
