A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, I don't know where this is, but they are gorgeous pictures, including the ones below of the lions also.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
Ask Joe. I told him I would post them anonymously, to see if you liked them better then the elephant ones he took.
Wade
Wade, I'm so gullible that I actually fell for this and called Joe at work. He said No, he didn't send you any pictures, then I noticed the website in fine print (glasses again), and told him what you wrote. We both started laughing.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
I have advised you about those glasses before. I have 7 pairs and only let six out of my "sight" at a time. I have admitted the bloom is off my rose, why don't you call it a day also. LOL
Wade
Looks like Busch Gardens old tiger exhibit. Very inovative at the time with water fall.
Darryl,
You are absolutely correct and I am a moron. I took a picture there in 1983 or so of a gold tiger leaning down and drinking water. The light and reflection was so beautiful, I had it blown up to 8 X 10 and have it framed and on my wall to this day. I just looked, and I'll be damned your right.(Do me a favor, don't tell Herriott. He'll be whacking me for the next ten years with that bit of information, telling me I'm an arrogant light/water reflection photographer wannabe.)
Wade
Wade, that makes two of us morons, because I was the first to say that I didn't know it. If it weren't such a close-up, or if Ayla, the snow white, was in it, I might have known. I know, nice patch.
Mary Ann
Darryl, why did you call it the old tiger exhibit? We haven't been there in about ten years. Have they replaced Tiger Island?
Mary Ann
Yes have built a new area called Jungala an interactive display were you can view habitat from inside in glass enclosures. Have not seen yet in person.
Wade, if this is an older picture from the '80's, the white striped ones would be Silver and Blizzard, son and daughter of Bhim and Sumita. Silver and Blizzard were the parents of Kali and Ayla, the striped white and snow white exhibited there in the '90's. None of these have descendants, and any white tigers currently there have been obtained elsewhere.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
Hawthorn had a Silver and Blizzard. Try to convince me again how "cute names" are more appropriate then numbers. It's not like one Bootsy and one Fluffy living in your house. LOL
Wade
Darryl,
Are you sure it is Jungala. That creative board room idea sounds like a STD.
Wade
I know they received a white baby from the Alexandria Zoo during the winter of 06-07, because a vet I had out to the fairgrounds was doing the shipping and brought the little bugger for me to see it. I told him it looked like many nights of getting up every 3 or 4 hours to me.
Wade, LOL that's what they call it!
