to OP

beautiful photos, i also am envious

thanks for sharing

I added a bit of bg information of how the tiger ended up where he is now in my reply to CeltcOdyssey.

It is hard for me to see big cats in small cages and too small or unnatural environment in zoos and circuses but who am i to judge.
According to some biologists most lions do not have a problem living in a zoo because all they supposedly need to be happy is food and being lazy. Cheetahs need to be able to run but otherwise can be held like pets, whereas some tigers, mountain lions and all leopards and jaguars hate to be confined.
