his staff (left to right),
Kody Antle, Moksha
Bybee, and China York,
in a pool used in his
tiger show at Myrtle
Beach Safari in South
Carolina. Young cubs
are a big part of the
business; packages
for playing and hav-
ing photos taken with
them run from $339
to $689 a person. At
about 12 weeks old,
cubs are considered
too big and dangerous
for tourists to pet.
