SAN FRANCISCO, USA: Odin, the white Bengal Tiger, in his enclosure in San
Francisco. British keeper Lee Munro has been training Odin, who is the top
new attraction at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in San Francisco, since he
was just 6. The park is one of the only places in the world where people
can see a tiger diving for food.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures, but this information is't new, of course.
Of course.
Everybody knows that tigers are much better divers than, eg, lions: this is
reflected in their anatomy, as described by a German biologist years ago
(forgot his name - see discussion at AAT): large size, broad limbs, long
+-round body etc.
Don't forget the cats that really love the water:

"The Clouded Leopard is not a small cat, but the smallest of the big
cats and different .... Its claws do not fully retract and it has
slightly webbed feet;"
I wonder which one swims best, the capybara or the Clouded leopard?
One thing for sure, both swim better than the imaginary semi-aquatic
mountain beaver.
