Fw: Tiger Island, Dreamworld

 
-----
Subject: Tiger Island, Dreamworld

Tuesday morning dawned bright and sunny, a good day for the long awaited visit to Dreamworld to see the tigers at Tiger Island. Twice a day the handlers put on a show, no tricks, just a display of natural behaviour such as tree climbing and jumping over logs and into the pool. Revenue from Tiger Island supports tiger conservation around the globe. In just a decade, numbers in the wild have fallen 96% to just around 4000.
The two female cubs born a year ago will go to other zoos for breeding, one to New Zealand, the other to Canberra.
