Moment 40 - Baby White Tiger

We visited Avilon Zoo in Montalban, Rizal for the first time. We went there early in the morning and went home late in the afternoon. The place is huge and one whole day of picture taking will definitely be a good experience.

Along the way, a zoo keeper brought with him his new prized thing, a baby white tiger. He said that it was the first baby white tiger born in captivity here in the Philippines. Barely five weeks old, the cub was basically curious about his environment and everything else. 

Our fascination of this little thing grew every second. Though we were forbidden to touch it, this cub initiated the contact just like any feline. Maybe it is already embedded in their genes that they yearn any warm contacts from humans. 

As I had my fill of this exciting encounter, the moment he went towards me and rub his body against my legs, I could not resist the urge to caress the cub. And that was amazing.
