Zoos, Circuses, Safaris: A Gallery of Captivity
|
this is a video from the Kristiansand animal park where I work.
This is the first time there was born lions in the park and actuall the first time ever in Norway, we introdused the first and smallest male Aragon to the cubs first, and the lionesses Kila and Sera did really protect the cubs as real lion mothers does, incredible. 
I'd think that videos like these would be better suited for the captive gallery thread already going. Do you have anything in text for this thread?

He was weighed at 850 pounds at the age of 12. @Kingtheropod can confirm it via the email from the park manager.

Outside of Ligers of course.
And a side note, we already have a thread dedicated to captive lions and tigers, I doubt we need two more.

Jaipur is one of the heaviest captive tigers ever recorded, but not the longest nor the tallest. Jaipur is slightly heavier than Baikal because he is fatter, but in the body dimension wise, Baikal holds an edge in every department.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author These are from Shizzys Wild Cat Rescue https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...tos_stream Some big ole tigers here Edit: A side note, I'm going to the LA zoo tomorrow, Ill take some photos of the Lions, Sumatran Tigers and Jaguars and anything I think you guys will find interesting.
LA Zoo Notes:
-Got to see Lion pair, Sumatran Tiger and Snow leopard (all sleeping) -Jaguar wasn't in its enclosure -One horned rhino -Asian Elephant -Hippo -Harpy Eagle -Chimps and lots of different monkeys -Lots of snakes (green mamba and gaboon Viper are my favorites) -Black Bear (sleeping) Not a bad price but still sad to see these animals locked in small enclosures, they need to invest money into the place. They also openly breed the animals to continue the trend of captive animals, all n all, its not bad.
Here are some videos from the images at Shizzy wild cat rescue.
Check out the size of these Tigers and Lions. Massive! They found these two Tigers literally wondering the side of the Road in Carolina. How unbelievable is that? https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater Must watch this Guy!!!! Gigantic Tiger https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater Big Boy and still agile as can be https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater Now compare these guys to Shere Khan From Noahs Ark https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater Shere Khan is quoted as being a small tiger though Roman, beautiful male lion https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater Heres a video of him feeding a couple of tigers and a lion https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater Big Tigress https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater I must say, these are some of the best looking captive cats I have seen. They are massive, healthy and in shape, at least as in shape as I have seen in captive cats.
