Reading "Tiger dancing"



The Chiang Mai Night Safari has a white tiger with an unusual skill.

Tiger dancing
When I first saw this photo from the Chiang Mai Night Safari a few days ago, I didn't what was happening.
Now, from today's Bangkok Post I know that this is Justin, a white tiger, and his trainer Siripas Intakanok.
But what are they doing? Are they boxing, muay Thai style? No, that's not what they are doing?
Are they dancing? Well, Justin is.

Siripas explained that when he was teaching Justin how to 'wai", the tiger often crossed his paws. This reminded Siripas of one of Psy's horse-riding moves in his famous Gangnam style video. So, he decided to teach Justin to move along to the beat of the Gangnam style music.

Now, every time the song blasts out from speakers, Justin gets up and dances, making him a very popular tiger indeed.

You can see Justin and his friend Maya daily at noon and 6pm at the Chiang Mai Night Safari. Maybe Maya will learn Psy's new dance moves from the just-released video 'Gentleman".
