Swimming Tigers

WhiteBengal Tiger named Odin is six years old and 10 feet long from tail tonose. Odin lives at a Zoo in Vallejo, California, near San Francisco -and he likes to swim.

LeeMunro is his trainer; he says tigers are the most powerful swimmers outof all land-dwelling animals. The ferocious face he makes while divingis actually meant to close his nostrils to stop the water from goinginto his nose. For South-East Asia tigers it's just a good way to cooldown.
