Blaine was obsessed with the Tiger King documentary when it first premiered via Netflix at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and his obsession with the documentary has yet to diminish. He will start re-watching the series every now and then, and while he doesn’t always finish every time he starts re-watching it, he certainly enjoys Joe Exotic’s story and his possession of a variety of big cats.
He started watching it again a few nights ago, and viewing segments of it prompted me to consider how much I personally know about tigers, and further, how much knowledge the general public possesses about them. So, I figured I would do a bit of research and see what I could find about these majestic creatures, and this information comes from ranthamborenationalpark.com.
“1. Tigers are the largest amongst other wild cats
