This article is about the story by Ray Bradbury. For the Stephen King story, see Here There Be Tygers (1968 short story). "Here There Be Tygers" is a short story written by
Ray Bradbury, originally published in
New Tales of Space and Time in 1951. It was later collected in Bradbury's short story collections
R is for Rocket and
The Golden Apples of the Sun. It deals with a rocket expedition sent to a planet to see whether or not its natural resources can be harvested for the human race. They discover a paradise which seems to provide for them whatever they desire even as they think of it. They ultimately decide to leave the planet and report that it is hostile and of no benefit to humans. A teleplay of this story was written by Bradbury for possible use on the television program
The Twilight Zone, but
Rod Serling and the producers of the show deemed it too expensive to film on the show's rather tight budget. This led to the end of Ray Bradbury's rather brief association with the show, which resulted in just one of his stories (
I Sing the Body Electric) being used.
