This afternoon after our Cango Cave adventure, we visited the Cango Ranch to see some more animals! Again, this experience was AWESOME! We went on a guided tour in which we saw the following animals:
- bats
- vultures and a mean stork
- flamingos
- hippopotamus
- otter
- cheetahs - adult and 9 month old babies!
- tiger cubs - 5 months old!! :D
- lions - full grown compared to the young ones yesterday
- leopards
- bengals
But the real fun came after the guided tour, which was getting to play with the baby tigers. Although expensive, it was totally worth it. I wanted to get in there, especially after watching the trainers work with them. They were so playful, and hardly aggressive. The white tiger cub even came up behind me and jumped up on my legs. Sadly, the trainer swatted him away, back into the water. While I wish they would not have driven them to the pool in the cage and we could have interacted for more than five minutes, I am so glad I got to pet and push these little cuties around! AHHHH, it was so great! Even better than riding the elephants yesterday, and definitely better than merely just having to sit behind Joseph the cheetah and stroke in one direction on his fur. Getting to chase and scrounge around with the 5 month year old tigers was PHENOMENAL! :D
