In this touching moment, rescued tigers made their first river entry after being freed from the zoo. Lilo and Cati were rescued from a zoo in New York.
When the tigers were eleven years old, they were moved to a refuge in Nevada where conditions were as natural as possible.
Following so many trying years, they were now able to appreciate nature’s bounty and the feeling of being tigers. The volunteer Kelley observed the tigers swimming in their new habitat for the first time.
Cats generally loathe water, according to popular belief. Except for the tigers, who like playing in the water, the worker said.
Wild cats are naturally able to bathe, given the context of this tale. Organizations dedicated to helping wild animals and rescuing them from substandard conditions are fantastic.
