Swimming Tiger, Hidden Lucy

I know, I know, enough with the zoo already. But seriously, how often do you see something like this? I couldn't believe how close I was to this guy. It was very, very cool.

We had front row seats for his swim.

 

That's Lucy's hand on the window.

I was very grateful for the glass wall between us. Even with it there, I swear I could almost feel his breath on my neck. He was crazy close.

 

It almost wouldn't have surprised me to see the kids sitting on the real tigers back. We consider him a friend now.
