baby tigers in England playing in the snow
The best moment was when Mama nudged the baby into the snow-covered area.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Okay, it doesn't have anything to do with my class. But who doesn't love tiger cubs?
When we were in Thailand, we had to pay an extra fee and wait in a crowded, sweaty line just to see fucking pandas, which are the worst animals ever, but right after that we crossed over to the cat section of the zoo and played with baby lions! FOR FREE, no line. And then we fed a cheetah. We live in a crazy upside down world where pandas are the big attraction but you can play with lions, no problem!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I loved going to the MGM and walking through the lion exhibit. The walk through tunnel has a clear ceiling, and as we walked around the corner, there was a big shadow on the ceiling. We all peered up at it, looking at the paws and the tail dangling. "Is it dead?" asked a kid shakily. "No, it's a fake, honey," his mom said with certainty. Then the lion rolled over and peered down through the ceiling at all the people. It was hysterical how many people were suddenly scared. It was very cool to see the big fuzzy feet splayed over my head. Then the lion decided to show off his maleness by laying belly down on the ceiling with his back legs splayed out. No shame, these large carnivores.

Thanks, Kathy! I'll have to remember to tape that. There should be a Baltimore one coming up soon too.
