Taj, the Tiger, Turns Two

It is hard to believe that it has only been two years since I first saw the two tigers, at Issaquah's Cougar Mountain Zoo. They arrived at the zoo as baby tigers, and they sure do grow up fast!

On Easter weekend, the zoo celebrated the birthday of the first born tiger, Taj, a Golden Bengal Tiger (pictured above and below).



The second tiger, is Almos. He is a Royal White Bangel Tiger, which I believe will be celebrating his birthday sometime this May.

Anyway, it looked like both tigers had fun celebrating Taj's birthday. I know the kids standing close to me did. It was pretty funny to hear them talking to the tigers through the glass, as the tigers ran around, tore open their "presents" which were boxes with paint (one in a boxy-zebra shape), and ate their "birthday cakes" made of what looked like steak and feathers (the feathers were only a garnish).
