Tiger Teeth

I went to the zoo today. Zoos in the summer are sort of boring because the animals are all so hot they are just sitting around in the shade (which I wish I had been doing) The one cool thing that happened was that we were watching the tiger in it's new cage and it was wading into the pool there right next to the window and then someone took a picture and the flash seemed to spook it and it turned and growled and bared (all) it's teeth at us, which is definitely something to behold when you are only 5 feet away with nothing but plexiglass as a shield.... then it got out and left. Right after that a zoo keeper came and was asking us about what had happened. Turns out that was the first time ever that the tiger had gone into the water in the pool, it had been too afraid and would never go near it so we saw it go in for the first time, that also explains why it freaked out.
