Interesting facts: ASmur tigers do not live in groups. Every tiger has its own territory and cats meet only to mate. Only female then take care of 1-5 kittens. Father does not look after his babies. Other males can kill the cubs, so mother must be very careful and she looks for her cubs until they are 2 years old | Amur tiger is the biggest of all tiger subspecies and is the largest living felid | there are only some 300 Amur tigers living in the wild and 1000 tigers who are held in ZOOs | Amur tigers swim very well and they can swim for quite long distance | they are threatened by hunters who kill them for their amazing fur | Amur tigers live in the area, which is almost all the time covered with snow. So tigers have very thick fur and their huge paws have function of snow-shoes | Amur tiger hunts also during day, not only in the night | they hide their prey to come back later and eat it

Very expressive (and beautiful). The way his paws are out, coupled with the story makes me think think the tiger believes it is capturing its imaginative prey.
Additionally, the tiger looks healthy (no tartar on the teeth, is well feed, coat and whiskers are thick and full). Kudos to the artist for the capture of the moment and earning the DD. Kudos to the curator for taking care of the needs of the tiger.

'Snow and ice is awesome! I can pretend it is prey!' kind of hysterical? Or 'OMG, I don't know WTF it is! I must be on the offensive!' kind?
