Kitties at Koh Kong Safari World

It was amazing to see the bangle tigers up close: their elegant body stripes, their powerful paws that can take down a cow easily with one strike, their ferocious sharp fangs and eyes... What a beautiful predator!

These adults weigh probably 200-250 Kgs. The zoo keeper said they were captured from the jungle somewhere in Cambodia. Hopefully, their population is not dying out from human destruction.

So...do you wanna check up my teeth, Doc?
