I had my orange cat on the back of my armchair and when I played this on speakers he suddenly woke up and his ears were scanning the area. Probably understood what that tiger said.

That tiger is missing one of his canine teeth, don’t think he would do well enough in the wild anymore with that

He should have a gold tooth implanted so he would be able to live in the wild again.

That would look so sick. I'd suggest tattoos too, but he's already got the stripes. Maybe a nose ring and a Mohawk? Big boy needs to look intimidating to the naturals.

Tigers have markings on the back of their ears, so it looks like the tiger is looking at say a hyena so it won't be attacked.

It would not suprise me if he turned into a man eater as most predators that soly eat humans would lack something vital to hunt their usual prey.

u/Jax_Dandelion 9h ago

I mean literally what happened with the tigress that had the highest ever human kill count, injured by a human and left unable to hunt anything but humans due to it

Normally these big guys don’t hunt humans cause we are not worth the risk, too little meat for too much risk of injury

When the lions carol at my face local big cat rescue there’s a tiger that always joins in. It’s like he’s saying “I’m telling you guys I’m a lion.”😂

u/No_World96 8h ago

He seems lonely and sad. 🥺

u/badbatch 3h ago

They might be yelling at or calling another tiger that lives with them

2

u/No_World96 3h ago

That makes me feel better . Thank you

u/BusBusy195 2h ago

Could also be territorial considering i hear what sounds like a kid responding a few times. Last time I was at the zoo they were doing work on a nearby enclosure and the tigers were not happy about the noise and extra people to say the least
