Last post with pictures from the Tiger Temple. This time with photos on non-tiger animals. There were a lot of other animals roaming around freely on the temple grounds and I didn't waste any opportunity to take photographs of them. They were mostly farm animals, but we saw some wild animals too. These are the best pictures I managed to take on them.
