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.

Another guy teaching tigers to jump like monkeys. This trick is very unnatural.
Which shows you what a good trainer he is!!!!
And he's even got a name - which he can be proud of.
Wade - where do dredge up these anonymouses?
Darryl,
The leap frog picture is Tora jumping Kali and Jai
The backwards hind leg is Sumsara
The hind leg jump is Jai
Anonymous,
I have a pretty good guess who you are, as I have heard the "monkey" term once before. I feel that if you now despise me as much as the despise the first guy to have "tigers jumping like monkeys" I must be starting to get some where with these cats. Of course, I realize you only disliked the first guy cause he was a big meanie, and you were absolutely never jealous....
As far as natural, I can hardly wait to hear your answer, what part of any of the cats life is "natural"? And if you try telling us all that the Kiss-O-death is natural, and thats why you did it for years, I am going to throw up in my mouth,,,lol
Casey: Just so you know, I was not the anonymous.
Casey,
Whoop's, somebody found a shoe that fit.
The first guy's tiger did a true corbette which is a series of vertical leaps, collected and controlled. A vertical/horizontal movement would be called "pushing through your hand's" if you were mounted. On the ground it is simply "pushing you out of the way."
Wade
Wade - don't you think that the second guy's tiger is well on the way to doing a "true" courbette?
Steve,
With a new tiger yes. If they are not given the time to develop the natural strength of the back legs, and collected with the body by jumping over low, gradually heightened cavallettes, they will jump to "hard" and come horizontal. This one has learned to "escape" vertical. Slow, slow time will give the result, accepting that each animal is different and will take differing amounts of time.
Wade
Thanks Casey
