Why am I here

One of the two Tiger cubs (rescued from a captive breeding centre), which were being hand reared at Tiger Canyons, goes for a swim when we took it and his sister for a walk.
They will eventually be released into the wide open spaces of this quite large reserve, where hopefully they will learn all of the things necessary for survival, including killing their own food, but most importantly contributing to the genetic diversity.

Ken, interesting image, good color, but I would like to have seen more of the cubs face, either higher in the water, if possible, or more head turn towards the camera. Thanks for sharing.
