A scrappy handler discovers that the wild, unruly beasts everyone else writes off can be shaped into headline acts. As the creatures rise from chaos to stage-ready spectacle, the handler must balance fierce ambition with the bonds that make the transformation possible.
I'm rich. We sold more tickets today than we did all last month. If I can keep this up, I might actually save the zoo. A couple more strokes on the left.
I've been on my feet all day. I'm exhausted. That's why Siberian tiger is so well behaved. He looks just like my ragball cat at home.
Max, give everyone a proper roar. A tiger is still a cat Max really is my lucky cat But one Siberian tiger can't carry an entire zoo
While we're still getting attention I need to bring in a few more animals fast Emma, what's up? Uncle John, have you gotten any new animals lately
That aren't too expensive? I need something big to help draw people to the zoo So you're really getting the zoo back on its feet? All right. First, tell me your budget.
Only $100,000. $100,000 won't get you much in the way of a large, wild animal. The permits and transportation alone can cost a fortune. Uncle John, please, help me figure something out.
I just spent $50,000 on a Siberian tiger. If I pay much more this time, I'll be bankrupt by next month. $50,000 for a Siberian tiger? Tiger, don't tell me you bought Mike's crazy one.
