    I did! When I was a kid we were at the zoo and the caretaker was taking the lion cub back to mom after taking it to the vet and we were on the way. It was a week day and it was very empty so she let us hold the cub to take a picture! it was like a heavy puppy. Sooo cute. I still.have the picture somewhere.

        In the ancient times, when we, old people, were young, there were no phones or even digital cameras! We would have to take pictures on mobile analog cameras, take the film to a chemist that would, through magic, print that on paper! It was crazy!

        anyways… the paper picture (and 5 thousand others) is somewhere under my mother’s bed at her house lol not very easy to find

      When the circus came to town I got my picture with a tiger. I was about six or so, I think. Maybe seven. I also rode an elephant and that was terrifying. Circuses are evil, but I got those two unusual experiences before I was old enough to know.
