Enzo, who lives with Michael Jamison and his girlfriend Jackie Smit in Brakpan, South Africa, is just like any other cat: he loves sleeping in bed and sometimes scratches furniture.
A team of big time fans of tanks built a full-scale working replica of the German Tiger I tank used in World War II. See how these guys put together this monster from beginning to end.
Seldom do you see a mother bear and a tiger in the same neck of the woods. But there is bound to be trouble when they do meet. These photos show a brief encounter between these two animals.
The air temperature climbed to only 25 degrees (77 °F), but for the Siberian tiger it is already too much. See how this big cat escaped the heat in a Yorkshire nature reserve.
Passers-by reported spotting a big white tiger near the Hampshire cricket ground in England. The police sent armed officers backed up by a helicopter and asked a nearby zoo for help. The hunt for the wild beast began.
As you have noticed, this tiger is different from those we used to see. This one is called a golden tabby tiger. It is a tiger with an extremely rare color variation, which is caused by a recessive gene and is normally found only in captive tigers. But it is not a separate species of tigers, it’s just a color form.
Golden tigers also tend to be larger and, due to the effect of the gene on the hair shaft, have softer fur than their orange relatives. There are currently believed to be fewer than 30 of these rare tigers in the world, but many more carry the gene.
In a Californian zoo a mother tiger couldn't get over her triplet tiger cubs' death. The depression endangered her health, so the veterinarians came up with a decision! They found orphan weaner piglets and wrapped them in tiger skin. Sometimes animals take care of other species, but is this the case? See whether the piglets have become a dinner or a family...
Most zoos don’t allow visitors to see tigers eye to eye. But if you come to Thailand and visit a local tiger farm, you will be allowed not only to pat a tiger but also to hold this animal. Baby tigers look so sweet and innocent, and even grown tigers look tamed here. Still you can’t forget that they are superb predators.
As the photo in this post shows sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
