There are only about 400 wild Sumatran tigers in the world, so the Taronga Zoo in Sydney is blessed that Jumilah and Satu gave birth to three cubs in 2011. This is dad, staring intently as if sizing me up for dinner. Speaking of eating, you can bid for the chance to sponsor a “Big Cats Dinner” at the Taronga Zoo during their annual fundraiser. Twenty people have a close experience with the leopards and tigers before being served a three-course gourmet dinner by candlelight next to the lions. The tax-deductible event often goes for over $25,000. Those on a budget will prefer the Big Cat Encounter for $59.
