HUGE MAGNIFICENT BENGAL TIGERS FOUND IN BELIZE

HUGE MAGNIFICANT BENGAL TIGERS FOUND IN BELIZE.

  On the way yesterday morning, got stuck behind a long convoy of semi-trailers of a traveling circus, while heading to the Western Border immigration post at Benque Viejo.  The particular vehicle I was behind, was a two tandem long trailer, composed of two sets of cages for Bengal Tigers.  Not sure if there were seven or eight.  But they were huge.  I was just ten feet behind the cage, and the two in that set were pacing back and forth.  They looked well fed and cared for.  I estimate their length from nose to butt, to be about 9 feet.  The height about 4.5 feet or even 5 feet.  Certainly they were OVER a 1000 lbs of wild cat.  Predators supreme.  They had a tan fur coat, with black stripes up the side and went under their bellies.  Huge tigers!  Make our Jaguar look like small house cats, more like rodents.
  I guess they were heading from Mexico, through Belize to Guatemala?  They certainly reached the frontier alright, when I finally got to pass the parked convey of tractor trailers.
