Binghamton Zoo's tigers, Terney and Koosaka, celebrated Halloween early this year. On Monday, the keepers gave them each a forty-pound pumpkin. The tigers rolled on them, bit them, scratched them, and kicked them. They chased each other around the yard and stole each other's pumpkins. Terney even dumped hers in the pool! Then Terney decided she wanted the pumpkin out of the pool, so she sunk her teeth in, and effortlessly pulled it out. A forty-pound pumpkin. That took two keepers to carry. This just reinforces why we don't go in the exhibit with these girls!
There aren't many toys that can withstand being batted around by a tiger. No wonder Terney and Koosaka love pumpkins so much!
