Where's the tail?

Obviously the last bird who snuck up behind him took it. He has reason to be so nervous!

[–]poNji 31 points32 points ago

I think that's also part of the reason why he lost balance so easily.

I think the missing tail may be why this happens, Cat rely so much on their tails for balance without one it may take too much concentration to do anything

Judging by the Tigers reaction, I'd say it was eaten by a small bird.

I know some zoos will take rescued animals. The Detroit Zoo has a rescued circus bear. Perhaps this guy was abused in his past.

We'd probably be a big joke among spiders if we didn't CRUSH THEM WITH HEAVY THINGS occasionally.

hardly representative of the proud wild tiger, this poor animal has been physically mutilated, it has no tail! I'm guessing it's been done to it by it's owner for aesthetic reasons, like with some dogs. I am outraged and call for a public lynching by a mob with pitchforks!

I should make a firefox addon that finds and replaces every text instance of "pussy/pussies" with "vagina". This would totally be something the internet needs.

I am extremely upset and disturbed by the title of this post. Allow me to tell you why you ought to be as well:

One of the most wonderful things in the world is a tiger. I hope you don't think I sound exaggerated when I say that a tiger's a truly wonderful creature.

I went on a conservation mission in Southeast Asia which discovered some important information that was never known before about tigers.

For instance:

  • Did you know that tigers have evolved a special adaptation to protect their craniums from damaging impacts while running. The same kinds of fibers only found in the bodies of certain flowering plants, like the Hevea brasiliensis, are created in the fur of the scull of the tiger.

  • Furthermore, tigers have a very advanced "springing" mechanism in the muscle and bone structures of their hind legs. This mechanism goes far beyond the normal abilities of most predatory animals. The bones actually "lock shut" until enough power has built up in the muscles, so that, when they release, impulses in the animal's anatomy (in parts) approach the speed of sound.

Tigers are:

  • lively

  • besting

  • prancing

  • and striking

fuck you!

EDIT

now that I've gotten the downvotes, I'll give you a hint to decode it.

Hevea brasiliensis are rubber trees.

Also, tigers are really fun. they are about 5 times as fun as creatures that are simply "fun".

[–]Iamsqueegee 1 point2 points ago

Tigers also secrete a scentless poison from their sweat glands that zombies are deathly afraid of. Use this to your advantage.

I feel like no one should have to announce the joke to get you your justly deserved points equilibrium. Your negative score is a symbol of the lowest common denominator, let it shine brightly! It's almost painful with you having to drop hints.

Did you mean tiggers? As in the wonderful thing about tiggers is that tiggers are wonderful things? Unless you're William Blake, and then you probably mean tygers. Or if you're Napoleon Dynamite, then you mean ligers because they're pretty much your favorite animal and bred for their skills in magic... PS - Tigers ARE awesome!!!! ∑:3 They're gRRRReat! <3

At the fort worth zoo, some years ago, a zoo worker was on a path walking between the cages. The path was protected by tempered steel cables of some thickness ( I don't know how thick). Anyhow, the tiger being a big cat and exhibiting the behaviour of all cats everywhere, saw his movement through the tall grass of bamboo and went into stalking mode. When the cat made his move for his 'prey' he went right through the tempered steel cables like dry noodles. He didn't kill the guy, but he was injured, obviously.

is it wierd I would like to have a tiger as an companion? not a pet but a companion, yea that'd be cool.

[–]FaKeShAdOw 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But... pets are companions. Unless you meant like the shitty owner kind of pet that is only barely cared for, I guess. Then yeah.

I think if my tiger companion wanted me to ride on his back, I still wouldn't do it. He might rape me.
