1. Not Much Of A Predator

Although tigers are often renowned as predators that eat nearly anything, this particular large cat seems to have totally accepted the cosy life of luxury. His pretty remarkable girth clearly shows the zoo's great care; it implies a consistent diet and regular meals free from the necessity for hunting. Even if he might have taken on a few extra pounds, the latent force remains behind his well-fed façade. Although his rounded form could make him seem less threatening, we should keep in mind that under that well-groomed appearance sits one of nature's most effective predators. Those strong muscles and instinctive behaviour still exist even in his obviously well-fed condition. His untamed background and modern way of life produce an interesting but somewhat humble reminder that even apex predators are not exempt from the consequences of a life of luxury.
