Where are the claws?

Anatomy of a tiger paw!
Tigers can sheath their claws, which means they are not visible all the time. This helps to protect the claw from wear and tear and means that the claw can maintain a nice sharp point which is necessary for catching and holding onto prey. To keep their claws healthy and sharp, tigers (like house cats) will scratch on trees, tyres etc to remove the old outer layer of claw and make way for the new claw.
A lot of people mistakenly believe that because they cannot see the claws of our tigers in every photo, it means we declaw them. This is untrue!! Many places in Thailand, and indeed around the world, do take part in this practice, but at the Temple it is a strict no, and even seen as a form of abuse - when a cat or tiger is declawed it is the equivalent of a human having their top finger joint cut off.
We check the tiger claws regularly to monitor any ingrowing claws but as you can see in the video, they don't like it so much!!

Don’t try this at home.


Me staring at my pet tiger: Okay homie lets do this

[Marbleocto]

"Don't try this at home!" Since when we got pet tigers stored in our house lmao

[JaySteppin]

Don't try this at home just because i have a full grown tiger chilling in my back yard

Imagine getting scratched by one of these tigers 🐅 you would have to get some major stitches.

A house cat is as deadly as any other large cat, we are just lucky they are tiny

When the claw comes out it looks satisfying

Man somebody had balls to go up to an awake tiger and press his paw pad to make his claws come out.

It's crazy how fast they are for their size.

Sometimes I find my cats claws around the house in the carpet when cleaning up.

Imagine finding one of these and thinking you dropped a dam knife

[boah]

my pet tiger looking at me while I watch this video: no

[emmanueljaramillo]

Worried man: How much confidence do you have?

Tiger Owner: Yes

Thanks for the warning to not try this at home, I was just about to try it on the tiger in my backyard!

2:01 those arms 💪💪 bro how much do you bench 😳😳

[erikaspetchannel]

yes paws need claws # don't declaw.

[robinharwood]

You need to ask? The claws are in the paws, just as with other cats. A tiger is pretty much the same sort of animal as your pet tabby. (Except that it’s twice your size, and at least five times as strong, and can crush your neck with a single bite. )

Now I know why my cats scratch their paws with no reason 😂😂, Ty lmao👍

[muraliaravinthan]

Ok now I know why my cat always scraches my sofa🤣
