Big Boy

No, not Vincent (though of course he is).

Not this adorable Brazilian tapir either, right up against the fence, and twitching its sleepy nose at its fans.


But Malchek, son of Balkash, the previous biggest Siberian tiger (and therefore biggest big cat, excluding fakes like Hercules the liger) in the world. And, as he's bigger than his dad, that makes him the biggest tiger, and the biggest big cat, ever.

I could watch him all day. Like that other big boy we all love.
