Unbelievable Never Before Seen Footage | | NEW!! TIGER RUN - Myrtle Beach Safari |
The Myrtle Beach Safari is the only place in the world where you can see tigers running at full speed. This is an excellent form of enrichment and exercise which helps contribute to these animals leading happy, healthy lives. This video illustrates the amazing coordination needed to safely and successfully have full grown tigers chase a high speed lure. It also showcases some of the phenomenal slow motion footage of a tiger running at full speed...something that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.
The Myrtle Beach Safari and the Rare Species Fund help educate the public about the plight of wild animals and uses funding generated through these educational experiences to help save those wild animals.

 SAVE THE TIGER, SAVE THE WORLD
"For tigers to survive, we need wide open spaces, pristine lakes and rivers, clean clear skies, plentiful prey, and people who care. In other words, if we save the tiger, we save the world."
-Bhagavan "Doc" Antle
As Robert Johnson mentioned in the closing of this remarkable video, watching a tiger run at a speed reaching 40 miles per hour has an astonishing, transformative effect on humans that leads us to care about these animals and engage in helping save the WILD tiger. Our Save The Tiger, Save The World project begins with a simple bracelet in South Carolina but ends in the Kanha National Park in central India. The sales proceeds from the Save the Tiger, Save the World bracelet supplies villagers, in what were once pristine tiger preserves, with lanterns and solar-powered charging stations.
The results have  been outstanding. Communities that lived in darkness and ventured into tiger territory to collect wood for light, now have a renewable source of energy in which children can utilize to study after dark and villagers can help guard against crop-raiding herbivores. The reduction in fossil fuel consumption has improved the health of villages plus encroachment on tiger habitats has gone down. All of this from a simple bracelet and a group of caring individuals.
