Description I don't think you guys have met Two-Paw yet, he's hard to get shots of cause every time I go to the fence he's right there chuffing and wanting attention. We adopted Two-Paw and his brother Kiran from another sanctuary that rescued them (along with their four other siblings, from a tiger breeder that was shut down) we call him Two-Paw cause one of his hind paws has only two toes. We were told it was a circulation problem he was born with that needed to be amputated but I've always suspected it might be a botched declaw job. Anyways, Two-Paw is a sweet heart, come visit him some time!

He's a great guy, but his brother Kiran is the pretty boy of the family, I've always thought he is one of our prettiest tigers. I'll have to get a nice shot of him.

Most of the animals, like, the wild cats, they're all human-friendly over there?
You really do have a dream job!

As soon ad I can, I promise I will come and visit you guys.
Do you think you could give me a tour then? ^^
Now I can only dream of being so close to a wild cat ever in my life..

Great shot, btw, he looks so peaceful.

A lot of them are friendly towards people, which is great cause they enjoy having people visiting them and they don't get stressed out by large groups, but we still never interact with them one on one, there always has to be fence between.
If you come all the way over to the USA just to visit me and my animals I will make sure to give the grand tour.

There was a fence between us but I stuck my lens through the fence and he was laying down less then a foot away from me.
