Swimming With Jaguars!

One of the truly most amazing experiences I have had to date so far in South Africa was taking our two young Jaguars for a swim in our natural waterhole...and boy did they love it!

These Jaguars were about 5 months old at the time and they were siblings called Tia and Tiago.  

The Jags loved the experience and they were really great swimmers.  They were even capable of swimming underwater for quite some time.  It is so amazing to see captive bred animals like these who are so trusting of the people they work with and being so friendly and playfull with us!  Was definitely one of the best things I have ever gotten to do in South Africa so far...
