Antwerpen Tigers
There's a tiger couple at the Antwerpen Zoo which is always one of the highlights of our annual visits, because their personalities and dynamics are hilarious.
Feeding with enrichment on a hot summer day in 2010:
The tiger feeding:
The boy tiger is quite ready to be fed:
The girl tiger is skeptical abut this method of food delivery:
Here he goes after it:
Second block of meat is thrown:
...but the lady tiger is having none of it:
She did wade briefly in:
Meanwhile the boy tiger is playing with meat #2:
Random fun shot from 2012:
From our 2014 visit. As seen above, the male loves water:
And apparently also playing with sticks:
The female just watched him very skeptically from the shade:
He swam out with his stick:
This is his peeing wall:
He's all, "Cuddles?"
And she's like, "No, idiot! You're all wet!"
They do look magestic, though:
Well.... mostly...
