Tigers...a must see exhibit at the SedCo Zoo

If you haven't been to the Sedgwick County Zoo to see the new tiger exhibit, then you're missing out.

The folks at the Zoo and WDM Architects have once again created a fabulous addition to one of the nation's greatest zoo experiences.

The tigers in the new Slawson Family Tiger exhibit are active and they're so close you can nearly reach out and touch them...which, as you can see by the reaction from my daughter, might be fun to pet and cuddle with. I had to explain to her that the kitties in this cage are not as cute and cuddlesome as her Jack Russell Terrier is at home.

The only downside to the new exhibit might be the complaints from the ducks and other water fowl that land in the exhibit. Twice while we were watching, a duck landed in the water and was quickly hunted by the tigers. As the giants cats tried to pounce, the ducks flew away in a hurry. Oh well, I guess they'll soon learn as they did in the bear and lion exhibits!
