I live in Niigata, Japan and I work in the Ueno Zoo part-time as a biologist. Anyways, This Tiger and Panda lately have been following me around their cages. They're young but not young enough to mistake me for their mom and whenever my boss comes to check on me, they protect me by circle Him(My boss) or by standing by my side and growling and make a hissing sound. When my boss was watching me, he gave me a comment about being able to talk to them. And when I thought about it, I relized t was sorta true. I could seem to know what they want when they wanted it and knew best for them. So now I take care of those two as my main job and I'm begining to think theyre my familiars!

I really love tigers, and I would love to be able to be that close to one. Panda's are also really cute, and exotic and I like them too. You are very lucky to be able to have contact with those animals.
