I was in my backyard again today (Busch Gardens) and they now have a gentlemen there that paints ostrich eggs. This is one of his creations isn’t it gorgeous??? Taken at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay / With my trusty Kodak Z812
White tiger on the lookout —- / White tigers are not a seperate type of tiger and they do not occur in the wild (at least, not normally). The white fur coat is an effect of a rare gen mutation where tigers with two genes for white fur will have this unusual colour. Because of the extreme rarity of the white tiger allele in the wild, the breeding pool was limited to the small number of white tigers in captivity. Apparently the last white tiger ever seen in the wild was shot in 1958. Inbreeding between these tigers often leads to defects such as deformaties and mental retardation. Due to the high market value for white tigers, unscrupulous breeders will still inbreed white tigers to ensure the offspring also exhibit the recessive gene. Some animal rights activists have called for a halt to the breeding of white tigers altogether. If a zoo claims that they are breeding white tigers for an international reeding program for endangered species (and many do claim this) they are liars. despite being heavily inbred, white tigers are also a mix of all types of tigers and not a real spiecies themselves.

Don’t you just hate it when you have a boyfriend who snores?
I have to say I am a sucker for blue eyes. Does not matter if the eyes are from man or beast if they are blue I am toast.
Grrrrr
We silently stared at each other, me in total awe of his strength and pure nobility and he looked at me square in the face and held my gaze steadily for a number of minutes. Time stood still..

Tiger
this is based on some paintings i did awhile ago for a poster so now i have done a couple of versions for teeshirts as far as im concerned you cannot repeat often enough or highlight the plight of these magnificent cats so i will repeat again for years the deptartment concerned with the welfair of tigers in india has for years falsified the figures for the population of tigers in india leading the world wildlife organisation to believe that the population was stable where as in fact they are as bad now as they where when the conservation program started its believed that at present rate they will be extinct in the wild in less than ten years
this is the more pop art type version but the the message is the same as i said in the other description if we dont get of our backsides these magnificent cats will be extinct in less than ten years how can man in all his so called enlightened being still allow any creature let allone somthing as magnificent as a tiger disapear from the wild

In my view Tigers are the most beautiful cats alive, I dearly love them. There are only 5 Tiger groups alive today, 3 are now gone and Siberian Tiger only have less than 400 living in the wild.
This group is for people who LOVE tigers and for people who want to know more about them. The art can be in any form BUT it MUST be of TIGERS the CAT not a flower, not a person named tiger not even a butterfly.and no tigers with other animals or people. tigers only please.
You can post art that promotes saving tigers, but it must have a tiger in it not just the stripes or paw prints.
NOTE: You can post Ligers (Male lion mate with female tiger) and Tigons (male tiger mate with female lion) BUT YOU MUST STATE THAT THE CAT IS HALF TIGER PLEASE. these works of art like the others must be your own works.
I will post a few Save the tiger links and we all can add to the list as we go.
We may have a few contest in this group, tho I am not big on it.
