Welcome to another YouTube Tuesday!
Travel Bloggers Give Back. Yep, we're still giving back, picking our favourite charities and promoting them through this season of goodwill!
Especially for Josh of Tiger Time, today we have tigers!
Charities struggle to raise funds to achieve the mission they set out to do, so the least we can do is publicise their work and encourage everyone to share a little. Hey, if everyone gives a little, that'll soon mount up to feed these tigers for a few days. Feeding them ain't cheap! Meat has to be bought to feed them, sanctuaries need to be securely fenced, vets bills need to be paid along with diesel, and power and all the other costs of providing a home for these wild animals to live out their lives with dignity and quality of life!
These tigers are at a sanctuary operated by National Wildlife Humane Society's Top Of the Rock sanctuary.
A true sanctuary operates on a "No Buy, No Sell, No Breed and No Exhibit" basis, ensuring exotic species can live out their lives with dignity and quality.
NWHS need funds to continue housing these graceful cats - they'll live for up to 35 years in well maintained environments - that's a hell of a lot of meat that needs paying for.
Donate here please. I'll be donating! Donate here.
Tigers Obi and Gizmo arrived at the NWHS sanctuary (Top Of The Rock) on September 13, 2011, and are now in their new enclosures. They came from a sanctuary in San Antonio, Texas that suffered financial distress and announced closure about a year ago. The San Antonio sanctuary had a great many animals, including, but not limited to, 400+ primates, 70+ big cats, 25+ bears, wolves & wolf hybrids and various other species.
Watch Obi, not a cat that likes to get his front paw wet! See how tigers will enter water backwards also. Interesting!

Kay and I are trying to rearrange our schedule on our Ecuador trip next month to take in the project
Touch The Jungle as we'll be in the region!
Tiger Tiger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat.
What dread hand? and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile His work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger Tiger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
The Tiger
