TITAN |
| Titan and Lilly, both Bengal tigers,
came from the tragedy in Pine County, MN where a woman was
killed by Tango, a third tiger. Authorities immediately called
TWS to help with the emergency but when our staff arrived
at the scene, it was too late for Tango and his owner. Authorities
seized the remaining two tigers (Titan and Lilly) from the
property. Within 48 hours, TWS was able to respond and transport
the wildcats to our new site in Sandstone, MN.
Titan weighed only 260 lbs when he arrived at TWS. Today he weighs
more than 500 lbs. He is learning to trust people again, but still
vocalizes his concern when new men arrive. He is learning how to
be a tiger and still unsure of the pool in his enclosure. But we
are hoping with time, he will learn that tigers love water.
We truly hope he can find it in his heart to forgive what humans
have done to him and trust that all we want to do is allow him to
be safe and wild at heart.
