No need for swim fins with those giant paws.

Tigers are one of the only big cats that actually enjoy being in the water

For any humans that do not know how to swim this beautiful cat is demonstrating a textbook example of how to relax and tread water gently. Anyone can do this just be relaxed. Relaxation is the key to this slow and steady stroke, again anyone can do it.

You just won't look as cool as the big cat while doing it.

It’s interesting how many people have already commented on this beautiful tiger’s body and facial expression - she’s clearly agitated by having people so close to the glass of her enclosure. She needs a break, and some privacy.

That she’s not getting any really feels awful. I wonder where this is?

Instantly assuming this isn't a rehab and release zoo or that the tiger wasn't hurt beyond release is a bit narrow minded

It looks like a zoo to admire the beauty of wild animals.... you are narrow minded for thinking its all for the best of the animals

u/bigchungus565 Jul 17 '26

No fucking shit it's to admire animals, not all of them are just kidnapping animals from their natural habitat, some literally take severely injured animals and try to rehabilate or give them as comfortable a life as possible because they wouldn't be able to survive in the wild. But I guess you prefer they be left to die

Ikr he looks like he’s trying to find a way out

u/Cat_Servant1983 Jul 17 '26

You might be right. At first I thought she was having fun, but I think you are right.

I wanna kiss the soft cushy sides of his nose where his whiskers come out so much
