Bored

White tiger at the aquarium in Houston. This is why I do not like seeing animals in zoos or cages. Wouldn’t you be bored if you were a jungle animal and you were put in a cage like this? They are beautiful, but I would prefer they were free.

such a beautiful animal – its a shame that we cage them all up just for our enjoyment…lets let them all loose!
Charles Dobbs, about 1 year ago

Hi Heather! I agree…let’s set them all free! These appeared to be in good health and the area they were in was very clean. I have certainly seen worse. I guess you could look at it another way in that we have the opportunity to see such beautiful animals. But that is not my belief. I don’t even like my dog having to sit in a cage at the groomer!

Love these big cats, I want one for a pet!!, I’ve had the flu for the past month and this looks how i feel. I relate to this cat!. Gee, aren’t they amazing!?.
Gregoryno6, about 1 year ago

How large was the enclosure, Charles, and was it all tiled? Seems strange to me to put a large animal in that environment.
Halima Mitchell, about 1 year ago

Ooooooooooooooo. My mother loves tigers. I have to show this to her. Nice one. :)
Jeffrey Phillips, about 1 year ago

i agree its a shame, but without adequate protection unfortunately most free tigers end up as dodgy medicine or floor rugs. which is an even bigger shame.
Jeff Burns, about 1 year ago

Sweet capture. Love the stare that the Tiger is giving

beautiful.
SpaceAce07, 11 months ago

I agree such beautiful animals should be left to roam free and not caged. How about we get the people that capture these creatures and cage them then they can see for themselves what it’s like.
It’s a beautiful shot too btw. He dose looke very bored.
Adela Hriscu, 11 months ago

ohmy goodness isnt he ALL ONE WANTS and desire to photograph…SUPER JOB
Julie Langford, 9 months ago

Wow – beautiful image Charles and as you rightly say, its so sad to see wild animals caged. As for setting them all free – most would die if released as they have no knowledge of the forest and how to hunt etc. Education is the way forward to protecting all wild animals in the wild and also working with third world countries to promote alternative livelihood options for hunters and their families.
stevenlove, 9 months ago

Beautiful Tiger. His eyes do look sad, or at least very bored.
One thing people in the western world have to remember is that zoos do more than just entertain us. Zoos also act as a haven for species that are in danger of extinction. I saw a program on TV about the Hiacinth Macaw Parrot. There are more of them in zoos than there are in the wild because poachers in their native lands have hunted them to the brink of extinction. Unless people in the Third World countries where many of these animal reside get their act together Zoos may be the only place where these animals can be protected.

But zoos also need to do their part by making the animals they protect more comfortable by providing a more realistic habitat for them so that they can return to their natural behavior.

Lucindawind, 8 months ago

oh how I love these cats ! beautiful !
LoreLeft27, 8 months ago

this is awesome but if you let them go who is going to protect them from other tigers that can kill it i was watching a special on tv and they had to train big cats that was human raised and train them to hunt and take care of themselves i wish they could be free too but they cant be taken care of if a poacher kills em
LoreLeft27, 8 months ago

i do not trust other people who may be greedy i would keep the animal myself than to let it end up on someones back
Darlene, 8 months ago

KevinH, 7 months ago

he looks so sad :( nice shot though
saleire, 6 months ago

I agree…...set them loose…...they are too beautiful and too wild to be caged up…...and cage up the people who endangering them. Gorgeous creature…...I am not surprised he is bored…...on the other hand…..I am not going in to ask if he wants to play a game :o)
Shaida Parveen, 6 months ago

Rosina Lamberti, 6 months ago

This is awesome.
Margot Kiesskalt, 6 months ago

Great capture, Charles. I also would prefer they were free (if, that is, we could guarantee their safety from hunters and habitat-destroyers in the wild).
Elizabeth Aust..., 6 months ago

He is a most magnificent creature, lovely capture – however, I agree wholeheartedly, he should not be on show in a zoo. There must be another way to ensure animals’ future. I can’t visit a zoo because I always start crying and feel as though my heart is breaking.
kcranmer, 5 months ago

Beautiful capture Charles, I adore white tigers!
BarbBarcikKeith, 5 months ago

I agree that it would be nice if he could be free but most of the animals in American Zoos are captive born. It is illegal to take any creatures from the wild anymore (that doesn’t stop OTHER countries from doing it) Most are hand reared and are human imprinted. To set such an animal free would be a disservice to them..

gorgeous creature
CathyJones, 5 months ago

susan ogden, 4 months ago

AWWWW! he needs a few big cat toys and a playmate! beautiful animal and shot!
JLHopgood, 2 months ago

our ‘local’ zoo is Marwell which is a preservation zoo. They aim to breed and keep extinction at bay. It’s a shame to see wild animals not getting what they really need but we need to keep them going too.

At least in places like Marwell we get to learn and appreciate the creatures and help keep the wild ones going too.

Beautiful capture

so pretty up close
ELENNE BOOTHE, 2 months ago

Hi Charles, this is a beautiful picture of him, and I to visit the zoo from time to time
and it truly hurts me to see these beautiful animals lock up.
the look in their eyes let’s one know they want to be free. but some don’t know about the wild because they was raise in the zoo or a cage.
again bwautiful shot.
MarissaBillings, 2 months ago

Rosalie Scanlo..., 2 months ago

What a beautiful animal. I agree, they should be free, or have a larger, more natural enclosure. wonderful photo.

So, gorgeous!
Stephen Chapple, 18 days ago

A beautiful image of such a sad looking animal. I agree with you about zoos but sometimes it is a way to share the beauty of these magnificent animals with people that can’t see them elsewhere! So many good zoos out there doing great things to maintain animals existence unfortunately there are still a few who aren’t!
