This was over 5 years ago. I really hope this guy is still out there in the wild.

If you had never heard of a tiger and somebody described this beast to you, you would think it was something out of mythology. My goodness this animal is a remarkable specimen.

What a beautiful and majestic creature. We need to protect them at all costs!

[spicyweinerjohnson]

Everyone: oh my god what a noble and robust creature

Tiger: *t r e e*

Soft but powerful. Light but heavy. Beatifull but scary. Colourfull but invisible.

It’s like seeing a legendary Pokémon in the wild

I'm from India and have seen plenty of Royal Bengal Tigers in National Park Safaris and Zoo. But i saw the Siberian Tiger in Nainital(Uttrakhand, India)Zoo back in 2008. Its enclosure was on a hill with lots of trees. At first we couldn't see anything and then after few minutes, it came out of the woods and damn it was huge and so majestic. I still remember every minute detail of that moment. No creature on earth can surpass the royalty of a Siberian Tiger.

Edit:- As someone in the comments mentioned, the name of the Tiger was Kunal and he was the only Siberian Tiger we had in India. Sadly he died in 2011 and there are no more Siberian tigers in India.

Further Edit:- Two Siberian tigers have arrived in Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park in Darjeeling(West Bengal) on 10 December 2023. They're brought on an animal exchange program. So, India again have Siberian Tigers after 12 years.

The amount of muscle that thing has in it's front legs is insane.

Please don't let these go extinct, their power and agility is second to none bar their aggression and fighting instincts - I've seen a male siberian tiger in 2 bounds jump up a huge tree for food. It's truly awe-inspiring watching these amazing hunters.

That Tiger's so big that the jungle it self looks smaller Infront of him.

[NaturesEmperor]

Even underneath that thick fur, you can still see those powerful muscles.

Tiger: The King of Cats, Monarch of the Jungle, Molester of Trees!

[shaurya]

So fluffy...My only wish is to cuddle a tiger without getting torn apart.

[jariz]

Tiger realized that camera was on and he started pretending that tree and him were just friends..

[danielallyway]

This is one of the most spectacular animals of all-time!

Humans : Treaties and wars for owning a territory...
Tiger : I peed here, so this is my territory.
Other tigers: Ok

I saw one of these cats at a zoo. It was literally the size of a cow. Absolutely enormous.
