Girl keeps a tiger in her bedroom
A teenager from Florida has an unusual pet to cuddle up to when she goes to sleep – a six-month-old Bengal tiger called Will!
The big cat is being hand-raised by Felicia Frisco and her parents and the giant cat has been sleeping on her bed since he was born.
“I get a lot of hair up my nose and over my sheets!” admits the teenager, “And he likes to lick me a lot too!”
But the fur and licking hasn’t stopped Felicia, and she plans to let Will sleep on her bed until he is one year old.
Will lives at an educational centre called Tiger Encounter in Tampa, which is run by Felicia’s parents. Will is the second tiger Felicia has helped raise.
