Tigers' stripes are on their skin, not just their fur - but how often do you get to see it?!

This is the female Amur tiger at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (I can't find her name online, somehow). A sign on the exhibit noted she had recently had medical care and part of her belly had been shaved in the process. A beautiful lady, and those stripes on her skin are just stunning.

Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies. Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference. I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration.

Recently learned that it apparently was a folklore belief in Korea that tigers and leopards were the same species and that 1/3 of a tigress' cubs became a leopard, and thats hella cute

Animal of the Day!

Caspian Tiger (Panthera tigris virgata)

(Photo from Berlin Zoological Garden)

Extinction Date- 2003

Habitat- Middle East; Central Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 230 kg; 3 m

Diet- Large mammals

Cool Facts- Caspian tigers were the second largest subspecies of tiger. They were made for rocky or forested steps by the Caspian Sea. These tigers were thought to follow migratory herds of deer or pigs. The downfall of the Caspian tiger began when Russia colonized Turkey. Tigers were shot out of fear, diseases swept through the population, and their natural habitat was converted into cotton plantations. The last wild Caspian tiger was captured and killed in 1997. Conservation efforts were attempted, but outside of legal protections little was done to restore their habitat or promote breeding attempts. Today, 6 tiger subspecies remain and all are endangered. Luckily, zoos are working to create captive breeding programs and national parks protect these magnificent creatures.

Rating- 12/10 (Most closely related to the Amur tiger.)

(via The True Story Of A Man-Eating Tiger's 'Vengeance' : NPR)

The tigers that populate this region are commonly referred to as Siberian tigers, but they are more accurately known as the Amur tiger. "Imagine a creature that has the agility and appetite of the cat and the mass of an industrial refrigerator," Vaillant tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer. "The Amur tiger can weigh over 500 pounds and can be more than 10 feet long nose to tail."

These majestic tigers can jump as far as 25 feet -- vertically, they can jump over a basketball hoop. Vaillant cites a famous tiger biologist who, when asked how high a tiger can jump, responded: "As high as it needs to."

At the center of the story is Vladimir Markov, a poacher who met a grisly end in the winter of 1997 after he shot and wounded a tiger, and then stole part of the tiger's kill.

The injured tiger hunted Markov down in a way that appears to be chillingly premeditated. The tiger staked out Markov's cabin, systematically destroyed anything that had Markov's scent on it, and then waited by the front door for Markov to come home.

"This wasn't an impulsive response," Vaillant says. "The tiger was able to hold this idea over a period of time." The animal waited for 12 to 48 hours before attacking.

When Markov finally appeared, the tiger killed him, dragged him into the bush and ate him. "The eating may have been secondary," Vaillant explains. "I think he killed him because he had a bone to pick."

holy fuck this is amazing

“More frequent appearances by wild animals have been observed in the part of the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park located in Hunchun, Northeast China's Jilin Province, by a comprehensive air, space and land system, showing an increase in the amount of wildlife in the area and an improvement in the ecological environment after years of efforts to protect Siberian tigers and Amur leopards in northeastern China, the Global Times learned from the park on Tuesday. Now Siberian tigers can be seen nearly every day, according to Li Wanlu who works at the monitoring center and observes wildlife in the park via an air-space-land comprehensive monitoring system. The more frequent appearance of Siberian tigers captured by the system demonstrates the improvement of the ecological environment in the park, which has led to an increase in the number of wild animals in the area, Li told the Global Times. According to data released in October 2021, the number of wild Siberian tigers in the park has increased from 27 to 50 since the start of the pilot program, while that of Amur leopards has increased from 42 to 60, with more than 10 tiger cubs and seven leopard cubs discovered. As one of the first national parks in China, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park started pilot operation in January 2017, covering a planned area of 14,065 square kilometers.”
