I was visiting the zoo in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Let's just say there was much less distance between the animals and the people than at American zoos. I could have easily touched some of the adult big cats if I was stupid enough to try. And you could feed many of the animals without any supervision from zoo staff. It was both exciting and a little scary.

There was this dude who said for $20 I could hold a baby tiger. So...I did! It was really cool. It licked me and its tongue felt like a regular cat's tongue. Its tiny teeth were still really sharp.
