In the shade of a tree - the Ussuri tiger - Panthera tigris altaica

In the shade of a tree it's great to dream. How many pleasant thoughts appear in the coolness of the forest, when beyond its limits unbearable heat.

This cat, a fan of dreams. In her dreams there is much wisdom. What wisdom can a cat have? Japanese wisdom. Usurian tigers live near Japan. Do you remember the saying of Japanese samurai? It is possible that the samurai adopted this wisdom from the tigers.

If you sit for a long time on the river bank, you can see how the corpse of your enemy is passing by you.
So this saying sounds, if my English could correctly convey its meaning.

This tiger is in confinement. Everyone looks at him like a clown. But, Tiger does not think so. On the contrary, the clowns are around him, behind the glass. And one day, one of the courageous clowns can lose a sense of vigilance and then, nature will take its own.

I am grateful to this beautiful cat, for the opportunity to take these pictures. It is a pity that the glass that protected me from tigers was not transparent enough and clean. But, this is understandable. There are few who want to restore order in close proximity to tigers. Nobody wants to be that clown.

In general, the zoo of the city of Rivne, leaves only positive emotions. There is no strong feeling that the animals are in a cage. Valery is very spacious. The staff of the zoo, very caring. They treat animals with great love.
