Teach Me, Tiger

Hey, wildcat. Yes, you. Sitting there all full of your bad self. Your hourly rate. The notches in your belt. Your commanding physical presence.

Time to go see what real animal magnetism looks like.

This weekend the Bronx Zoo unveils Tiger Mountain, a new home for its Siberian tigers. The natural habitat is the closest 718 has ever gotten to the Amur Valley (which sits on the border between China and Russia). Visitors can get up-close and personal access to the Siberians, which, in case you didn’t know it, are the biggest pusses of them all.

And don’t miss the underwater windows. Tigers? Afraid of water? These babies aren’t afraid of anything.

(Except, of course, extinction.)

You could stand to learn a lesson or two from them.
