About this audio guide
This guide to Tiger Kingdom traces eleven days in February when tigers in the park's enclosures stopped eating and began running fevers, an outbreak vets eventually traced to two fast-spreading infections. It follows how the deaths added up here and at the sister park down the road, against the routine economics of a park where tourists pay to sit beside a tiger for a photo. The owner reportedly keeps hundreds of tigers across six parks like this one.
