Striped pupils of Australia

Siberia. Spring. Old films. Old films are like the pages of a book: the longer they are stored, the more attractive they become. Especially when you forget where you hid your priceless trophies. Just recently I discovered a roll of films that I brought from mysterious Australia. Finally, their precious contents are encrypted in digital form. This is good.
One of the most unforgettable encounters on this sunny continent was meeting the beautiful, huge Bengal tigers. I had a real opportunity to see for myself that there are no predators in Australia, except for a small bird, an eternally hungry dog, and another not entirely clear glutton. I remember well that we did not look for the tiger enclosure on the map. The tigers roared so loudly and so heartbreakingly that we were scared even at the entrance to the zoo. We did not walk to the tiger enclosure, we carefully crept. For ten to twenty minutes, we slowly walked towards the loud animal call of the tiger, trying not to make too much noise. We were scared. We did not know then that this was the voice of perhaps the kindest, smartest, most beautiful Bengal tigers. We did not know then that this was the voice of Australia's extraordinary striped pets. Absolutely right, Bengal tigers living in Australia do not eat cabbage. Judging by their fangs, they are big fans of raw meat. Despite this, in Australia these predators are kind, beautiful, huge, striped, carefree cats. I think that even on an empty stomach, they would not hurt even a mouse. Perhaps, the warm Australian sun, clean air, cool ocean breeze and dietary food have such a beneficial effect on them. Or maybe it is the merit of their brave and wise trainers, who, judging by the magazine chronicle and news reports, sometimes get it hard from their angry striped pets. We then received great pleasure and unforgettable impressions from prolonged communication with these beautiful striped pets of Australia.
