John Varty & Tiger Canyon

[Negans94]

Hunting feats of Tiger Canyon's first tigers — Ron and Julie. The feats below will really be important since Ron and Julie were not trained by a female wild tiger. These are captive-born tigers who were able to learn survival skills in the wild, thanks to the conditions created by naturalist John Varty and trainer Dave Salmoni. Brother and sister Ron and Julie were released into the reserve after they successfully became wild. I cut the first 10 videos from "Living with Tigers", and the next 2 videos I cut from "Tiger Man of Africa".

Ron caught the warthog, and Julie joined in the killing.

Age of Tigers: ~ 1 year 4 months.

Chasing a herd of blesboks. Julie cuts off one blesbok from the herd and drives it into the thicket. She caught her first antelope.
