What is the difference between a Zoo tiger and Circus Tiger ? I know the similarity. Both of them have a nightmare about their past history - A fierce tiger in the forest. But what could be differences ?
My idea is, only the zoo tiger has less rules. Not too many when comparing to circus tiger.
If the circus tiger got it's old forest tiger's ego and behave differently, then it will get it's piece of shit. And Need to follow lots of rules but the rules are very minimal in the case of Zoo tiger.
But the Zoo Tiger will live happily. My understanding is, the zoo tiger is completely surrendered and just follows the simple rules without any ego.
Once upon a time, when I was a tiger cub, I thought, I will roam around forest but situations forced me to become a circus tiger. I got my piece of shit whenever I tried to mimic the as tiger in my dream. On January 15, I decided to become a zoo tiger.
Just Less Rules and Complete surrender. So life will go easy. Let us see how I am enjoying in the Zoo :-)
