Trip to the Zoo

We have never been to a zoo like this one before!  The kids were able to ride a camel and get kissed by a seal!  They even let you pay to feed tons of the animals by hand.  Colt and Kylie REALLY enjoyed it :) photo 3 photo 1Colt has developed a love for white tigers since we moved to Asia.  We bought him mama and baby white tiger stuffed animals for Christmas because that is what he wanted :) So, when we went to the zoo here in our city at the beginning of this month, naturally he wanted to see the white tigers! photo 1 photo 2

Imagine our surprise when we saw this in the news this week!! – –

A female Bengali white tiger drags a man by his shirt after the man climbed into the enclosure, at a zoo in Chengdu, Sichuan province on Sunday.

A deranged Chinese man was nearly mauled by a Bengal white tiger when he leapt into its enclosure at a zoo and began leaping and shouting.

Witnesses at the zoo in Chengdu, Sichuan on Sunday morning said the 20-year-old scaled the enclosure’s fence and began provoking the tigers and smearing a red substance on a glass pane inside the pen, according to reports.
