We visited a zoo in Thailand where we got up close with some local animals.
I think my daughter is pretty wise. She chose to hold this tiny one instead of some much larger ones.
This is advertised as “Hold the Baby Tiger.” But in fact it’s simply a photo opportunity. It’s not about holding the tiger at all; it’s about posing for a picture! The whole process takes about 15 seconds. DD wanted to enjoy petting the tiger and admiring it rather than posing for a photo. (But she did give me a smile!) My animal-lover DD felt totally betrayed! When the zoo workers started taking the tiger off her lap, she pulled it back! We asked if we could pay extra to simply hold and pet the animal, but we were refused. 
But it was a fun outing anyway!
