Living with Tigers
Hells yeah!
So a few years ago, I randomly caught a special on the Discovery Channel called "Living with Tigers." It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen, and I've forced most people in my life to listen to me talk about how awesome it was. Tomorrow (Sunday) night at 8pm (7 central time), Animal Planet is airing it. Watch it. NO, SERIOUSLY. WATCH IT. They train two captive born tigers to hunt (previously thought impossible), as well as explore the possibilities of building a controlled home for tigers in Africa. This involves not only teaching the tigers to hunt, but to hunt in a drastically different way than tigers naturally hunt because of the difference in prey and landscape. Also - there's tons of awesome behavioral stuff between the trainers/handlers and the tigers. They are truly 500lb kitty cats and even when they become hardcore killers, you still just wanna chew their ears a little.
TIVO it, DVR it, old school vhs it, or just watch it....it's not like the Simpsons won't be in reruns in two weeks anyway.
PS - Dear Livejournal - why am I no longer receiving email notifications even though my settings and email address remain the same? WTF, y'all?
