Cole is the biggest tiger at Bear Creek Sanctuary. He is truly a gentle giant, has a heart of gold and probably weighs about 800 pounds. Ussuri, however, is going to give him a run for his money when he's full-grown. Ussuri is already a very big boy.

Cole and Kyra, his twin sister, live together. Their enclosure includes runoff from Bear Creek and Cole loves to swim.

Cole pretty much defines "majestic"
Except when he's just done a belly-flop.
800 pounds of tiger makes a big splash!
Cole and Kyra. Cole is on the right.

Cole has great "eyebrows".
