Back in the early '70's, we went to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. The tiger cages were wraught iron, there was a short draught iron fence in front (about 4 feet away). My boys were 3 & 4 standing on the bottom rung and holding on... Because you know how hard it is to see through the rails. The tiger was pacing back and forth seemingly agitated. Suddenly he backed up to the cage edge and shot a hot stream of urine right into my 3 yr old's belly .... Thank the Good Lord I always traveled with a suitcase with changes of clothes, and shampoo. The smell was over powering ... I threw his clothes away.
