As you can see the Tiger, Bengal, has one tooth missing. He was Gunther's first tiger and of course it was a learning curve for him to understand wild cats. But then he also treated his animals sometimes like children. When Bengal had a very bad toothache and his gums where swollen Gunther would sit in his cage with him and Bengal had his head in Gunther's lap waning and moaning. And Gunther would put warm chamomile teabags on his tooth and gums and the pain eventually went away. Everybody thought Gunther was crazy but for him it was a normal thing to do and it never came in to his head that the tiger could hurt him.

I forgot to say that the tooth was eventually extracted by a vet because it gotten so bad that the teabags didn't help anymore
