Your morning adorable: Tigers and...dolphins, oh my
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom staff recently made an introduction that would never have taken place in the wild.
Akaasha, a 6-month-old female Bengal tiger, is taken on a daily walk around the park. On Thursday, her stroll took her past the bottlenose dolphin exhibit, where she had an up-close-and-personal encounter with some Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.
More photos of the unusual meeting after the jump!

What beautiful photos! You can see the communication and curiosity between both parties. And I utterly adore the dolphin who has the hula hoop on it's flipper throughout the meeting - just heartwarming!
