This mother gave new meaning to the term 'tongue lashing' when she collared her cubs for a bath.

The young Siberian tigers seemed eager to squirm away as they were hauled in for a clean.

But their mum was determined to get the job done and, at one point, even used her massive paws to pin one of her mischievous offspring down. ...

Not in front of the camera! This cub looks a little put out that he's forced to wash



It amazes me that the main difference between a tiger and the cat in the living room seems to be size.

Pretty much. Our little nine-pound orange tabby certainly seems to think she’s a fierce huntress, even though she’s never bagged anything larger than a black widow...

Tigers.....another reason to believe in the goodness of our Lord.He loves us so much he gives us these magnificent creatures to enjoy and appreciate.I have loved tigers all of my life,and if it were only possible that they would be sweet and gentle enough to own,I would certainly have one.I’d have to have an awfully big bed,though,and hubby would just have to understand.....:)

Very nice. Given the territoriality of tigers, I suspect they’re tranked to the gills.
