If there is one thing my mom adores, it’s tigers. She has always wanted to pet one. I knew there was a place in Australia but finances have never allowed for me to take her there. Then, one day, I stumbled across a place in Florida that had a swim with a tiger cub program. Being only a couple of weeks away from her birthday, I booked the trip. …and how convenient that it was right outside Orlando. Hmm, can’t go to Orlando without stopping by Disney World. 🙂 The tiger’s name was Tony. He was so cute! He made those cute little tiger cub noises. My mom was very happy to finally get to pet a tiger.

I have heard a few bad things about the place since, unfortunately. The next time I go on an exotic animal adventure it will be to Myrtle Beach Safari.  They do a lot for animal conservation.
