On the one hand, I am grateful for the opportunity to see actual tigers. On the other hand, they’ve got to be SO bored in there.

Paying my respects
What would a visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom be without a visit with the goddess in the garden?
Strutting his stuff
This beautifully colored peacock came right up to the fence, curious to view the humans on display on the other side 😉
Just batty in there
Bats are pollinators! Some of them drink flower nectar, just like bees. Other bats eat fruit and spread the seeds around which helps more plants to grow.
Dragon lost his head
The Komodo dragon is sleeping on his rock in the background. I imagine the cooler weather makes him a bit sluggish.

Baloo is a primary color… as are red and yellow 😉

My old friend, the Goddess of the Garden
I think she should probably invest in an Epilady…

Fruit trees on the Maharajah Jungle Trek
The tangerines are RIPE and falling to the ground. I could sit here all day drinking in their honey-sweet aroma!

Perhaps he was eaten by TIGERS!

Remains in the Royal Forest
Many stalwart trekkers have lost their lives, not to mention their lids, while traversing the Royal Forest

The usual array of window hogs are preventing a better shot. Every time some mom or dad says, “We have to wait our turn", I want to tell them, "yeah, good luck with that".

Tigers of The Royal Forest of Anandapur, Disney’s Animal Kingdom
(a Camera Critters post)

Last week, I wrote about my Favorite Critters At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and one of them was the tiger. In that post, I explained that Disney has placed their tigers in a setting that is similar to the “temple of the tigers”, a preserve in India that had at one time been royal hunting grounds.
Disney places the tigers along the Maharajah Jungle Trek in the Asia section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and calls the forested section “The Royal Forest of Anandapur”. I googled “Anandapur” and found two villages, one in the state of Crissa in India, and the other is in Bangladesh, from whence the Royal Bengal tiger comes. Well they also hang out in Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and Myanmar (Burma), but a “Bengal” is someone from Bangladesh, so there you go.
The first image above is actually trash can art, and was captured just outside the Maharajah Jungle Trek entrance. The second image heralds your arrival in the Royal Forest of Anandapur, where the tigers frolic amongst the ruins of a royal palace that is crumbling with antiquity.
Please excuse the “ghosts” on these photos; they were shot through glass, and I think it’s remarkable that they are as clear as they are, given how many little fingers leave their imprints on a daily basis 🙂 This tiger guards a crumbling fountain; he doesn’t see what I see behind him…. maybe he’s got tiger “spidey sense” that allows him to know somehow, but I didn’t consider that at the time and I thought we, the tourists of Anandapur, were about to see some action…
No, I have no idea why there appears to be a board in the water, but I’m glad you noticed because I was kind of wondering myself. A second tiger stealthily skirts the fountain pool, looking for all the world like s/he was stalking the first one. What will happen? Is there going to be a conflict, a great, fierce battle? The tourists of Anandapur hold their collective breath!
Whew! It looks like the second tiger is disinterested in conflict after all, passing by without a even a passing glance, never mind a roar or even a growl. The tourists of Anandapur, lungs bursting, release their collective breath.
Peace descends upon the Royal Forest of Anandapur. Happy ending – YAY! 🙂
