This is a White Siberian Tiger. He looks large and in charge. There weren't any actual bars between us and this huge cat, just a really deep trench and steep rock looking concrete to deter him from leaving...but we're pretty sure he could have jumped across if he REALLY wanted to.

Here's Haylie and Mufasa. He mostly just chilled out, but he did let out some very lionlike growls that could be heard from miles away. We were not shaken.

This is our Chiang Mai Zoo souvenier. We had to check him under the plane, he was too big for carry on.
Ah, this is so cool! I wish I could be there with you. Haylie, you look marvelous...you too Stu! xoxo, love you guys so much!
