How do you feed a 200 lb. tiger? Well, carefully of course. But at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, Washington, you feed your young tiger through the chain link fence. The zookeeper, who still has all her fingers, pushes meatballs* through the fence with a special stick. We watched this feeding plus observed some colliding walruses, fluorescent jellyfish, and goofy gibbons, while spending a day at the zoo with my extended family.

*The meatballs were made from horse meat because beef has too much fat and gives the tigers indigestion!
