Floating, Spinning Tigers at Australia Zoo, Christmas Eve 2009

Tigers playing for the first time with thier new toy, the base of a cut off water tank which they used as a boat. The keepers having as much fun as the tigers. Tigers spinning around, sailing and sinking. There was a tug off war between the tigers and keepers when they tried to take thier new toy away. Sorry about the glare and the shakey video, it was a busy, bright day with a silly little camera at Australia Zoo.

Good Comment Roxxello, I would not normally recommend supporting a zoo that has " caged animals" but Australia Zoo Prides themselves with putting all the money it raises into the conservation of endangered specis and public awareness of the trade that is still going on in wildlife products. The cubs were hand raised so that they could have a better quality of life by interacting with their keepers. Im just sorry I could not get a bettter quality video as I jostled for a space with the crowd

I've seen many zoological facilities where tigers are bored, overweight and pacing back and forth behind a cage. But not at Australia Zoo! These guys have over 40 hectares devoted to them and are obviously very happy with their active and varied lifestyle. And most importantly, visitors are able to easily gain a love and respect for these beautiful Bengals and Sumatrans!

Hi. Love your vid as i think you got a better one. It is hard to get when it is so full hey. You did well. They are so good at the zoo their. Least we got the same vid. Keep up the good work. It was so sad without Steve there. Thanks for posting. :)

Awesome!!

Humanity's perception of the Tiger has come a long way. Hopefully its not too late to save them.
