What's For Dinner???


Many of you know my aversion to raw meat. I'm not a vegetarian, I just hate touching or even looking at raw meat. Thank heavens there was a guy sitting between me and the tiger guy. It really was amazing. We got in a jeepney which is like a large military jeep but this one had metal bars on the sides and plexi glass and metal for a top for protection. The first time we rode around the tiger had just been fed so he wasn't interested in our chicken. The guy stuck his arm out the window so the tiger would get a whiff of the meat but he kept to went off by himself in the grass. Since the current tigers were full and got to roam around in the grassy area it was time for their nap and 2 other tigers to get fed. We waited in the jeepney while they changed tigers and this time when we came towards them he ate happily from the jeep in front of us and ours too. As you can see, there is a hole in the bars for the chicken and the guy's arm to fit through. Once the tiger gets part of the chicken in his mouth they close the hole and then he eats the rest while the guy's hand is inside holding on to the chicken.

Dancing Dogs and Rodent World

We saw part of an animal show while waiting to go on our Jeepney. There were several dogs that danced with each other and rolled on a barrel. One even jumped over bamboo to music, the philippine bamboo music

I didn't look inside I just walked past it. I don't like rodents or snakes or other little furry creatures.

Lion Around


Me and Danny just lion around doing nothing.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

MONKEY SEE
MONKEY DO
I especially loved this one because I call Danny my monkey all the time.

It's for the birds


Justin and Danny liked feeding the birds. You couldn't get me to do that with a 10 foot pole or for $50 or $100. Gretch, I guess you are braver than me.

Feeding a Tiger


Prior to going I had seen a photo of friend's kids playing with a tiger so I told Danny that we were going to do that. Her photo of them actually playing with the tiger was of them in Thailand, not at Zubic. The photo of them at Zubic was just with the tiger in the background. So, the whole time we were there Danny kept asking, "When are we going to play with the tigers?" It took me a bit to figure out that you didn't actually get to play with them. At the end we got a photo taken of us feeding a tiger. Danny was a little bit afraid of him but it was pretty neat.

Growl Like a Tiger


Justin's boss had some extra tickets to Zoubic Safari so we got to go. It is a neat place about 2 1/2 hours away where there is a small zoo but the cool part is the tigers. They have a wooded area where the tigers roam around and you go in a jeepney (an extra large jeep) with bars on the windows and then they feed the tiger through a hole in the bars. The tiger comes right up to the bars and eats the raw chicken. Thank goodness I wasn't next to the chicken guy. You know how I feel about raw meat.
