We went to
The Secret Garden that was setup by Siegfried and Roy at the Mirage. We thought it was a little pricey, but how often do we get the chance to see white tigers and white lions? The day we visited we saw a total of eight large cats and quite a few dolphins getting fed along with a few tricks.

| Big mouth and teeth! |
What I loved was how close we could get to the tigers and lions if they came to the fence. Only one came close enough for us to see his pale blue eyes and to take in just how big he was compared to us. Notice the double fence...keeps paws in and hands out. Plus, bushes made a two-foot barrier between us and the fence.
Still they are gorgeous creatures and I can see why Siegfried and Roy love them so much.

| Big paws! |
And as gorgeous as they are, our thoughts were: they are not the kind of surprise encounter we would want to meet in the wild. That's for sure!

Ol' White Tiger is a pretty funny guy! I'm glad HE didn't come into my backyard with those cute little kitties!! Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteNow I want to get up close and personal with those big cats, of course with the fence between me and them. They are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous! I definitely wouldn't want to meet one in the wild either, but they are still beautiful to admire from a distance.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Looks like you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, but so fierce. Great pictures.
