,The exhibit "Tigers: Tracking a Legend" has officially opened today at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. There are no live Tigers in the exhibit space, but visitors can do numerous things like learn about the physics behind a tiger bite, and try to mimic there growls and roars along with numerous other things.
Filmmaker Carol Amore spent years studying tigers in the wilds of India and, in 2001, spent six months following a tigress and her cubs. In the years since, she has produced a film about her experiences, then a book, and finally the traveling exhibit.
The Folino Theater at Chapman University will host a free screening at 7 p.m. Friday of Amore's one-hour documentary, also called "Tigers: Tracking a Legend." The theater is at 283 N. Cypress St. in Orange.
"If you help someone care," Amore said, "then they have already taken the biggest step toward conservation."
The tiger exhibit is making its world premiere at the Discovery Science Center and will be open there until early May. Admission to the center includes the exhibit and costs $12.95 for adults and $9.95 for children up to 17 years old.
The science center is at 2500 N. Main St. in Santa Ana.
