My children think pandas are cute, but sadly we are not allowed to have one as a pet. There's a good reason for that which applies to many other animals you cannot have as pets in Illinois or else.
It's not often you'll be this close to the birth of 3 rare tiger cubs like the ones just born at the St. Louis Zoo. There are photos and a video to show how special this extremely rare event is.
When you're a tiger, you do things different. A tiger in an Illinois zoo this week gave a clinic on how you clean cameras in the most tiger way possible.
My wife and kids love tigers, but never knew this. An Illinois zoo has wonderfully explained why their tigers (and all tigers) seem to have "eyes" on their ears.
If you ever road trip to Branson or plan to and you love exotic animals, know there is a place there that allows you to hang out with them almost literally.
It's sad news to pass along from a Midwestern zoo that has an ironic twist. A male tiger just died of cardiac failure while undergoing a procedure. His name was Putin.
It's natural to think of Missouri when you talk about tigers thanks to the university in Columbia. However, did you know there's also a national tiger sanctuary in the Show Me State? There is and I have videos to prove it.
The St. Louis Zoo holds a special history with my family. So many trips and so many memories which include Big Cat Country, our favorite part of the zoo. Sadly, the zoo is mourning the loss of one of their tigers from that area and also a penguin.
