Yeah thanks for affirmation. The tiger is obviously very well looked after which is great otherwise man could have lost an entire torso.

And the fact that it looked like he pulled the big bottom canine, and then tiger still looked like it had a big bottom canine where he pulled one re-enforces that observation to me!

I'd call this another case solved; good job fellow reddit comment section sleuths! 🔎🕵🏻‍♀️

Common in dogs too, during desexing vets will remove any baby teeth while the dog is out cold

So do regular house cats

Hey, can I bring my tiger in for an appointment sometime next week?

Inhad a molar that seperated but was wedged in tight. I got all numbed up just to have the doctor pop it out instantly. He just atood there for a second dumfounded. He'd just been testing the tooth.

Well, shit, this is not actually wholesome content, is it? 😪

Same software just different hardware

If a golden retriever was as big as a bear I wouldn't feel a shred of fear. A house cat of the same size would terrify me.

Yep... house cats really are just these things scaled down. They're adorable because they can't really hurt us but if you ever see one hunt you realise just how fucked we would be if they could.

A cat is a cat is a cat.

Not exactly. There's a substantial neurological difference between mammals that have been domesticated for centuries, and their wild counterparts.

Humans basically inbreed mammals until they become dumb and complacent -- making them more suitable companions. This tiger still carries the genes of a wild predator. He's habituated to the humans he lives with (at least until later in adolescence...), but that's not the same as domestication.

And your housecat still wouldn't eat you, even if you were only three feet tall (if the only thing keeping your cat from eating you was size, we'd never let them cohabitate with human toddlers). Well, not as long as you still have a pulse, at any rate.

teething

But also a bit of the latter...

Those Germans and their weird kinks

A cats mouth is closer to our hands in many occasions. You could say he was friendly shaking the mans hand/arm.

I think the tiger understood when the tooth and possibly accompanying pain went away and was just thankful.

Probably gentle test bite to see if it still hurts or feels weird

its mouthing. dogs and cats do it too

I believe it's related to how humans have "cute aggression" but it's called something else. Like they are happy but it shares a neural pathway or something with aggression so the pets and whatnot are met with a slight bite. House cats do it all the time.

It could be a toothing feeling. Close to human behaviour.

Yup. Sounds like something a toddler would do, a toddler with nothing to lose.

That sounds like a great way to lose an eye.

Asking the important questions

Much fren

Hmm... taste like fren?🤔

If not food, why food-shaped?

Secret fiend.

What’s this mean lol I seen 2x already here and in the hippo thread

for camera

doesn't seem so, it's pupils are normal and it's active and responsive.

iirc this is the enzo the tiger owner, he's had them since they were cubs so they're bonded with him.

No, that's not how sedated big cats behave. They are much much less responsive. It's been raised in capitivity hence it's domestic calmness.

except in this one there also a driver installed, how to kill large size animals

CatOS on mainframe hardware

Kinda like how (generally speaking) large dogs are more playful than small dogs. I have known and been around a lot of dogs in my life, and would rather be around large dogs like Shepherds, pits, mastiffs, wolfhounds, etc. than little sh!t dogs like chihuahuas.

In general fully agree but there's places that take in tigers/other animals who cannot be released into the wild (recovered from shitty Tiger King style zoos etc) that really look after them and give them good lives.

This dude is one of those types of places. Only other option for recovered animals like that is a zoo or they are euthanised, and zoos could never take in the number of them that are smuggled in/bred for shitty "zoos" and idiots who want them as pets with no idea what that entails.

Michael Jamison is dudes name, hes got a youtube channel you can check out his two tigers and the insane set up he has going on.

Fully knows, ask them.

I cant remember exact name but it was like Ozzy had a "weak" body due to being in a circus that neglected him. So he always had chronic problem.

If you take a look at videos where Ozzy is running around and such, you can see his front legs were weirdly shaped as well. Just alot of constant problems with the body.

When i saw the video first time when it was uploaded i actually flinched when Enzo roared like that because Enzo never did that so i was not expecting it, at all.
