Florida zoo lets visitors join a tiger tug of war

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

A Florida zoo is giving visitors the chance to play games with tigers.

The Daily Mail reports that visitors to Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Florida are queuing up to take part in the 'tiger tug', where volunteers hold one end of a rope, while the tigers tries to pull the other end using its mouth.

The rope is fed through a hole in the tiger enclosure and even children can test their strength against the big cats.

The challenge has been running for several years, but earlier this week staff put an invitation on the zoo's Facebook Page, where more than 1,500 users have clicked to say that they like it.
