That is so cool. They treated the pumpkins like big catnip seeds.

Now I want to go to Tampa.

Imp- Will be looking for some tiny pumpkins for my little big cats

Many zoos all across the country give pumpkins to most of the animals, its awesome enrichment. We used to cut them open and hide treats inside - the anteater would love to shred one open to get to an applesauce honey mix. The bison and elk would go bowling with them

Cats love smells, plus its a novel item. Our female bobcat used to go into a drooling coma for an orange, I would jam it onto a branch high up and make her climb to get it down and then she would roll around with it.

Zookeeping - 95% poop, 5% pure entertainment

As I watched, all I could think was: Dang, I didn't know tigers could look that goofy.

They're just like oversized pet cats! Except a pet cat would try to escape and eat you if it were that big.

Ironic, tigers are not as evil as domestic cats.
