Odin, the swimmer

Odin, a six year old white Bengal tiger who lives at the six flags discovery zoo in Vallejo, California, has no qualms about diving into water after a piece of meat thrown in by his trainer. Most cats shy away from water, but Odin loves a cool dip, especially at dinner time. Some scientists believe that because tigers evolved in eastern Asia they dislike excessive heat and may use a refreshing swim as a way to keep cool.
