This shot I thought really showed a tender moment between the founder of EFRC (Joe) and one of many tigers that he has saved over the last 21 years.

It all started with a couple of tigers, and now has grown to point that he has acquired over a 100 acres and has made this a haven for big cats of all kinds.

Thank you for your comments, and I hope you will enjoy this series.

As has been said why he put his hands on the fence especially the ones poking through, I'm not sure why, But some of the big cats have been raised by them from birth. I have another story for you along those lines a bit later, but I agree that they are always wild.
