Mario’s Adventure: A Visit With A Baby Tiger!
This was such an exciting Day!
Mario got to spend 15 minutes with a baby tiger last summer (July 2013).
And ironically the baby tiger’s name is Summer!
There was a charity event in St. Augustine, FL and we were invited by a friend who had reserved a 15 minute visit with Summer for Mario.
Summer was 10 weeks old when we met her…
It was possibly a once in a lifetime experience, not only for Mario but for ME too…It was awesome to actually pet a REAL tiger!
Mario really loved spending time with Summer! I love seeing his face light up with amazement…
Here’s a short video I made of Mario’s visit with Summer to share with you all- Enjoy!
Also check out this article to read some myths about tigers. I didn’t know some of these, very interesting!
And….
Isn’t Summer adorable?

What an adorable video. Summer is so cute. I’m sure it was an awesome experience for Mario.
Hi Evelyn,
It was a great experience for him and Summer was so cute, just like a giant puppy (or cat I should say,lol).. Definitely a wonderful memory for Mario! Lori
Lovely pictures and great memories tigers are indeed beautiful creatures and sadly are decreasing in numbers
Hi Katie,
I agree, it’s so sad that tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. I hope that doesn’t happen..

Hi Judy,

That was so awesome! He looked like he was having such a great time with that little tiger! Makes me wish I had one. -RDub
Hi Randy,
Yes, the visit with Summer also made us wish we had one too, but considering how big they get (and quickly!) that wouldn’t be such a great idea after all,lol! But our homes would be VERY protected!
Lori
What an awesome experience!!! He will remember it always.
Hi Joan,
Yes, it was such a great experience! Summer was just so adorable, and we have a picture of Mario and Summer hanging in the living room. He loves it! Lori
Wow! This is the coolest thing I’ve seen all day. Mario and Summer are the two coolest cats ever lol! Those pictures and memories are priceless treasures that are going to last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Dennis,
Yes, it was definitely a cool experience, and a great memory! I posted the pics on Facebook and people were asking “Is that a REAL tiger?” lol.
Have a wonderful day,
Lori
I thought I had a cool Grandma but she never took to a place where I could play with a tiger! That’s really Cool! 🙂
Hi Steve,
LOL! I must be the coolest Grandma of all then! All Grandma’s need to be informed that a baby tiger visit is a MUST!
