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.

Hi Wade!
This is an awesome picture. Is it recent? To my non-expert eye it appears to be a white tiger about to courbette over two other white tigers. If I'm correct, it answers the question of whether you still do it. If I'm wrong, please don't laugh.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann
Wade, again I say this is one of the most amazing tricks ever! Congrats my friend.
Mary Ann,
This picture was taken in November of 2006, by Josip Marcan. Some will suggest the photographer/trainer is more skilled then the presenter/trainer. They can suggest all they want. LOL

Joey,
Thank you. High praise indeed from you. It was suggested one time that it took me 33 years to find a tiger with that talent. I suggested that they had always been around, but I just wasn't skilled enough to realize it. Look beyond the obvious. Long ago, somebody said, "I think an elephant can stand on one front foot?" How long before somebody say's, I wonder if they can stand on one back foot?" I remember when Axel Gautier showed me his walking long mount, and when I commended him, he walked them backwards!!!!!

Wade, could you please tell me the name of your courbette tiger/tigress?

Mary Ann,
Her name is Karma. Did you see the other white tiger pictures of Mohini, and the Bristol England tigers?
Wade
