One day I was standing in the Jungle Trek at the Malayan Tapir Enclosure (this animal is 830 lbs related to the Rhino and Horse but has a wierd look about her). As I was standing there People walk by and I tell them about the Animal. But there was one family who was listening to there patriach and obviously ignoring me cause he knew it all. He told his family this was clearly a Male (it is a girl though we don't tell guests that) ANTEATER (TAPIR) and it is common in australia (though the themed land they were in is ASIA). As if that was good I later saw them At the tiger exhibit and the father was going on that the three tigers he saw were male (all our tigers are female) and they were siberian tigers ( ours are actually mixed subspecies rescued from circus breeding programs) And that the largest tigers in the world are the white tigers (which are actually mixed and inbred tigers that don't occur in the wild and ours were rescued from a program designed to make white tigers). Thankfully a guest who worked at the Bronx zoo set him straight on the white tiger issue as i sat and watched with glee.

That would happen only after eating some SGs.

Not if they're prepared properly.

I suspect there are lots of CMs who would feel like they died and went to heaven, too, if the tigers were allowed to eat SGs! ;)

Oh, let's not be silly here! When was an SG *ever* properly prepared? I mean, isn't being unprepared part of the definition?

Not to mention, why would you need to have a SG "properly prepared?" Tigers eat raw meat, so there would be no preparation necessary.

Which now leads to a circular definition of "properly prepared SG." :D:

I don't know, it might not be good for them in the long run but a little MSG might help the taste...... ;)
