Description
This here is Tugar, an Amur (or Siberian) tiger from Port Lympne Wild Animal Park here in Kent. And when he's not snoozing or eating, he wants to eat me! Seriously.

Despite this, he is my absolute favorite animal in the world!

I was so lucky to be able to work with him a few years back, and he still to this day remembers me. Its quite funny, regardless of what hes doing (except if he's eating or if one of his proper keepers - people he knows better than me) as son as I approach his enclosure he'll start stalking me - pisses the photographers off no end. He'll chase me if I run up and down in front of his enclosure and he even tried to pounce at me once - through a glass window (he's not the brightest of tigers)

And yet its only me he wants to eat, everyone else he's as nice as pie to! But I love him anyway.
