Tiger Zoo in Sriracha - a Revisit in June 2009


Feeding the baby Tiger Milk - See the Sharp Claws


Me and 2 Cold Blooded Poikilotherms

Roughly 2 years since I last visited the Tiger Zoo in Sriracha Thailand, I decided to drop in to visit the Zoo once again in June, together with my Thailand Sales Manager, Tawatchai.Located approximately 150 km from Bangkok near the city of Sriracha, the Tiger Zoo is an amazing place where animal social experiments are taking place. They have glass enclosures where the female tiger is suckling baby pigs dressed up in tiger coats to camoflouge their true forms.There is also an enclosure where a young tiger is taking a nap with a fully grown dog and the dog is quite irritated by the tiger's playful bites.

Other interesting exhibits are the Scorpion enclosure where the famous Scorpion Lady is wearing a blouse with over 100 scorpions all over !


Crocodile Show

There is the ubiquitous Crocodile Show where the artiste kisses the crocodiles plus put his head into the open snout of the crocodile. There are also Tiger and Elephant shows and the piglet races.

Possibly the highlght of the zoo is the feeding by bottle of baby tigers and one can get up close and personal with the baby carnivores and see the sharp claws they have even at barely 6 months old !

Thanks to Tawatchai for arranging this trip. Its 2nd time but twice as good.
