happy b3tadayspeaking of cats, I went to Edinburgh Zoo and the daddy tiger now only has one eye :( Must have happened recently as I was there just after xmas and he definitely had 2 eyes.
I hope the CST will not only be focusing on Survival but also on eyecare.

Big cats have rather huge claws which naturally results in injuries all the timein captivity or the wild; and tend to have rather scarred faces. What amazes me is the amount of people who contact Terry (and quite frankly from the USA) amazed he doesn't declaw his cats; which is a horrific thing to do to an animal.
Those documentaries where we see of 'experts' rolling around with lions are complete bollocks; in the case of that kiwi, they were all declawed and also drugged out of their minds before filming. No one on in their right mind would play with a big cat like a lion that hadn't been de-clawed; one bash with it's claws out and you are dead. Slightly smaller cats such as leopards is still the same; you simply can't roll around with them safely ever. Cute as cubs, but as they grow time to keep your distance.
Which is why the last video is so amazing: www.vimeo.com/19445408
