clipped from www.funlobby.com T.I.G.E.R.S - The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, is an animal center in in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that features exotic animal performances in an open environment. It’s half open zoo, half circus, and has a focus on animal conservation. The animal actors and trainers from T.I.G.E.R.S have appeared on the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and The Tonight Show. 'Tigers have a natural desire and ability to swim,' said Dr Bhagavan Antle, who set up the tiger pool at his animal park in South Carolina 'It is rarely seen and we wanted to be able to present it to people so they could really get the feel of that incredible beauty and grace that a tiger has in the water. 'Tigers have modified webbing between their toes that makes their feet like flippers and they are superior swimmers. 'At the institute we feel that swimming with the big cats gives them a closer bond between the animal and their human companions.
