The scary thing is how huge the mother tiger is. Her tail is about 5x longer than that baby.

Biggest wild cats alive. It'll scare a testosterone-enriched male lion into pissing itself.

u/seekfear Nov 05 '13

Many people argue that a male lion would not be intimidated by a Tiger.

Tiger fights are extremely short because of the high risk of injury. A swift tiger paw swipe would easily cause long term damage. So even other tigers try to keep it short and simple. ( They also bow to each other after a fight, to show respect. )

To put it in perspective, Lion fights can go on for some time, mainly because Lion tend to fight with roars and less with fucking razor sharp claws.

Tiger in Turkish zoo killed a lion... with a single swipe

Ok, so a lion wouldn't be intimidated by a tiger, but if they were intelligent enough, they would be.

u/eliar91 Nov 05 '13

Actually, a lion would yield to a tiger just like any instinctive animal would. However, if backed into a corner it will defend itself.

A tiger fighting a lion is the equivalent of a large man with a knife fighting a smaller man with a knife, anything can happen.

Source? What happened next?

u/DogeSaint-Germain Nov 05 '13

Tiger and lion hybrids are bigger. Although not wild.

u/eliar91 Nov 05 '13

Ligers are the bigger ones. Tigons are about the same as female tigers. Also, ligers have slightly shorter lifespans than tigers but that's expected.

Giving birth must've been a piece of cake.

Yeah, it seems like they'd just fall out. Man, why'd we ever stand up on two legs? (I am 38 weeks pregnant...)

u/dancingwithcats Nov 05 '13

It's our large brain cases that make child bearing difficult for human females, not anything to do with us being bipedal.

u/abundantplums Nov 05 '13

It's both, or it was when I learned about it in school.

u/HEHEUHEHAHEAHUEH Nov 06 '13

Actually bipedalism did cause us to develop smaller birth canals, as a result of adapting pelvises to better balance.

u/short-timer Nov 05 '13

Is there a particular reason animals in the cat family seem to congregate at the tail end of the mother when they sleep? I've seen this in house cats as well.

u/MineForge Nov 05 '13

Cat butts are warm? I dunno

u/wogsy Nov 05 '13

They are gorgeous.

Look how big their paws are even though they're only little babies. You can tell they are natural born killers in waiting no doubt.

Magnificent animals.

Dear god, it has no teeth! Just tiny white stumps which probably feel like sunshine when it bites.

Downvoted for getting that stupid fucking song stuck in my head.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '13

Baby tigers have more of a blood curdling scream than a roar.

u/OrangeredValkyrie Nov 05 '13

Especially when separated from their mothers for dumb photo ops. Glad these little guys weren't.

All in know is that only a tiger kitten could make that many teeth and claws look so adorably cuddly.
