Later the week after graduation, those of us who were still around went up to see the tigers. Other than me, no one had been there before. I do not think they enforce this rule.
I did not pay to go in with the tigers this time, so I handed my camera to Fon and asked her to take some pictures inside. The whole gruop went in at the same time, so the pictures are not quite as close-up and personal as you have seen before.
Norah and Fon gingerly try to get acquainted with a feline. Norah and Fon are from the same Lahu village. Fon's father is not living, and Norah's mother, by all accounts a sweet and loving lady, helps Fon out with some expenses.
Seng Mai was not thrilled about being in there with the tigers and she did not stay in long, and would not actually touch the tigers. She did get this close, however, so I gave her a copy of this picture and told her to save it to show her chldren and grandchildren that she was in a cage with tigers.
I have no idea what these tigers were doing, but it is a great picture. Rockettes?
Elainea making eye contact.
Hkawn Din and Beka.
David getting some one-on-one time with a tiger that actually looks awake.
People do not usually yawn when they are around Fon...but I suppose we can excuse this guy. (or is that a gal?)
La Nu Nan, Elainea, new friend and handler.
Lallian acts like he does this every day.
Beka cuddles up with an alert one.
Nice couple.
Mahulee and Mayulah. Which one is up to something? They could not go in the cages due to the 10 year old limit in force due to the age of the youngest cubs.
