SriRacha
Tiger Zoo, as the name suggests, is a zoological garden housing more
than 200 tigers. What makes it special is the fact that SriRacha Tiger
Zoo is the largest tiger zoo in the entire world. As soon as the
tourists step in, they feel as they have stepped into the tigerland.
Stretching over an 100 acre piece of land, it keeps great number of
tigers, crocodiles as well as other animals.
Tigers
Main feature of the zoo are more than 200 Bengal tigers which can be
seen at various locations. The zoo has successfully maintained a tiger
breeding program. Many tigers in the zoo were born there. Tigers living
in the natural environment have their own grace and charm. These
majestic animals, when put behind bars in the closed zoos, lose their
charm. To watch them in the open zoo is a different kind of experience.
Some of these tigers are trained for performing tricks like walking on
their hind legs and jumping through a circle of fire. For kids, it could
be very entertaining.
Activities
You could see a large magnificent looking tiger in close quarters. It
would not bother why it is the centre of your interest. After some time
it would get up, casually look at you and walk away. You could hold a
tiger cub in your arms, feed it with milk and take an intriguing picture
which would thrill you for ever. Getting into the role of the tiger
cub's nanny would thrill you. You could just site in the grass and enjoy
verdant landscape all around. It is a tigers' playground and you would
see tigers busy in their own world there.
