AS I TAKE TGE BOWL OF MEAT ON THE TABLE & THE HOUSE LOOKS SHREDDED...OBVIOUSLY A WILD ANIMAL LIVES THERE...LIKE A TIGER OR BIG CAT...(That's my take) LOVE LARSONS STUFF!!!

I love the irony of the 'BIG CATS' logo in the top right.

Good thing those cats were Cheetah's, most easily deterred of all the big cats. Had that been lions, tigers or leopards they would have been fooked.

One of my favorite big cats. Truly a *Quality post about a very misunderstood cat. Thank you *promote

Big cats are so beautiful. I would love the chance to interact with them safely somehow. (By which I mean, I'd like to cuddle a tiger without having my intestines clawed out.)

BIG cats, not just any cat.

There is another awesome big cat rescue in Indiana. You can even rent a room on site and spend a night with panthers and jaguars right outside... It's awesome.

An absolutely awesome place.

Awesome. It's amazing how close you can get to such a powerful wild animal.

In India and Africa the large game animals have learned to regard the vehicles in much the same way as they regard trees. they know they're there, they just don't bother with them in any way.

When we were in India on a tiger safari we had a very similar experience. The amazing thing was that people live and work in these forests. 100yds down the road from the situation in the video may be a party of women collecting firewood. Or one time we found a mahout looking for his elephant that had wandered off in the night!

Tigers are incredibly beautiful animals. they have a quality that sets them apart from lions and other big cats. They are so different in the wild to the animals you might see in zoos. If you've ever wanted to see what real natural beauty looks like then go and see the wild tigers, they're breathtaking.

There's the naturey drama, several big cats, and the meta-drama around the film maker. I'd say there's something for everyone there.

For once, not a crazy story out of Florida . . . may everyday be this good. Then again, this is Florida . . .

Yey kitty! Shame they couldn't take him to Big Cat Rescue.

All the big cats are like "Snacks For ME!!!" And I think that one Baboon said "Toss My Salad"

Big cats differ from domestic cats in lots of ways but one of the less obvious ways is that they can only purr on the exhale. You can hear this in the video, the leopard purrs for what seems a long time but then has to stop to breath in and then the purr starts again. Domestic cats can purr continuously :0)

Gotta stand your ground. I know that's true of geese, and I hear it's true of gorillas. It's probably easier to actually pull off with geese though. God I hate those things.

Anyways, this got me thinking: Since when it's that time of year, geese land just wherever the hell they want, are they ever eaten by big cats at zoos?

"Big" Cats (Lions, Tigers) hunt by themselves, with a straight line-of-sight chase.

"Big" dogs (Wolves, Hyenas) hunt in packs, using communication and coordination.

Cooperation is a huge sign of intelligence.
