Hello bunjy. Regarding Tigers. Are they short, or are they like my cat who is short, in that she has a lot of skin, so you can put your hands under her and lift her skin and reveal lovely little leggies?
they’re actually not that short, they’re just long! it depends on the tiger subspecies, but overall tigers have much longer torsos than other big cats. they’re just built different, and that’s okay!
siberian tiger- (with incomplete rib cage) note the length of the post-ribs spine!
african lion- the legs are pretty comparable but the post-ribs spine is much shorter, meaning the lion is more of a square while the tiger is rectangular!
in conclusion:
BIG CAT CORGIS
(also, did you know that a lot of the images that appear when you search ‘tiger skeleton’ are actually leopards? they are. get on that, google.)
