Tiger Temple in Western Thailand. Yes, I did a lot of research before I went, and it seems totally legitimate and well meaning. The tigers all appear healthy and are visited by a vet on a regular basis. The temple is run by some monks and a lot of western volunteers.
Absolutely amazing experience!

Hot summers day at Marwell Zoo. Many animals trying to sleep comfortably on the floor. Greatest time in the zoo was seeing the lions play fight in the water!

The Tigers Nest is located 500 meters up the mountain on the edge of cliff.
The Tigers Nest is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex, located in the cliffside of the upper Paro valley, in Bhutan. A temple complex was first built in 1692, around the Taktsang Senge Samdup (stag tshang seng ge bsam grub) cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours in the 8th century. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan
The tiger is the largest cat species, most recognisable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. The species is classified in the genus Panthera with the lion, leopard, jaguar and snow leopard. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.
