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

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!!!!!

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