In what seems like a crazy reversal of roles, three Chinese youngsters have been recruited to observe 48 tigers for 72 hours in a safari park. The catch: They are enclosed in a 10-square- meter cage while the tigers roam free around them.
Qu Hongtao, spokesman of Qinling Wild Animal Safari in Xi’an, Shaanxi province told reporters that the purpose is to raise awareness for wildlife while celebrating the Year of the Tiger. After receiving over 650 applications for the positions, the park settled on three students.
The students have been given cameras and laptops to record the living habits of the tigers for the entire three days.
