Jango (critically endangered Malayan Tiger) doing a biiiig stretch before treat time.
He did a big stretch yesterday before his keepers tried to check him out (just a visual check for possible health issues and doing activities to keep him healthy). He decided a nap was more important so he came over and stretched, ignored all the food they had here, slowly walked instead of ran to a keeper up the hill for a treat, then took a nap. We got a nice lesson in choice and control and how the animals decide if they want to participate in training or not and had a tiger-less tiger keeper chat.
