Up near Camp Verde, Arizona lies a unique park called Out of Africa. They are known for their collection of large cats, and they offer shows that allow guests a glimpse into the animal's nature. The shot above was taken during a show where the cats are encouraged to jump and play with trainers in a large pool of water. They tempt them into the pool with toys. The toys can be anything from inflatable animals to shoes tied to a pole. (Believe it or not the shoe is quite a popular toy for the cats.) Often the cats don't want to give the toys up once they have caught them, so they are bribed with bits of meat in trade for the returning the toys.
