Lions and Tigers and Bears .. and Ligers??

There is a non-profit animal refuge for great cats here in North Carolina called Tiger World. We visited there this morning for a field trip and had a great time. They really care about their animals there and shared the story of each animal, answering all of our questions. We learned a lot of things and even got to see a Liger! They are not mythical as some people think. Just the result of a lion and tiger co-habitating. Ligers are not found in the wild as tigers and lions don't normally associate. This "little" boys name is Radar and he is only 6 months old!



They had a variety of other animals too. But our favorite was the white Siberian Tigers absolutely GORGEOUS!



Their baby Miracle was adorable too!



It was also nice to share this with some very special friends!!!
