Swimming with the Big Cats

South Africa's Kevin Richardson made a splash recently (pun intended) by swimming with some of the lions he cares for. Video here.

I thought I'd offer a video of people swimming with big cats a little closer to home. This was filmed at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species in South Carolina. It's maybe not quite on the same level as watching Kevin Richardson with lions in water, mostly because tigers really love to be in water, but you do get to see a full-body view of a tiger swimming, which is a beautiful thing to see.
