Snorkel the Tiger 1989 - 2010 Tigers10 Sadly Snorkel the tiger at Big Cat Rescue has died, he was 21. He had a bad start in life but ended his days in the best place for any captive Tiger, here is what BCR said about him and a video tribute to a truely handsome Tiger.

As a cub, Snorkel spent his early years forced to pose as a prop with people for their photos. Then he ended up caged for years at a family owned circus. Luckily, he found a true safe haven at Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL in 2005. Watch as he finally enjoys a taste of the wild and, for the first time in his life, was able to run...still much less than he truly deserves.

Here is a longer tribute to Snorkel and the tributes from his keepers, there is a typo in the dates, Snorkel was born in 1989

RIP Snorkel, Sleep easily and peacefully I love you

That's such a sad story but with a happy outcome in Snorkel being rescued. What amazing work they do at BCR. An amazing video to a truly wonderful cat.

RIP Snorkel.

Choked! Such a lovely tribute. Im glad even with the start in life he lived out the rest of his life with BCR.

RIP Snorkel, go run through the jungle in the sky!
