[@Just_Pele]

Amazing how they can go from being completely vulnerable little striped potatoes to 100% lethal (yet beautiful) in less than a year (about 10 months).

[@KittenBowl1]

At 10 months he’s still a young cub though it is pretty large. The big cat gets larger after that too. It takes them a few years for females actually to be a full size adult cat and for males it takes them 4-5 years to reach maturity.

[@carinarosales6899]

​@@KittenBowl1oh wow I don't know that thanks for the update

[@hustle_simmons]

And some how people still want them as pets.

[@Just_Pele]

@@hustle_simmons I mean, if they're unreleasable and you're worth >$100M, and can keep them in spacious and secure areas, with professional handlers and a dedicated vet, why not? Just know that they may really love you and you can do everything right, but one day you probably will get ganked like Roy Horn.

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

Wow majestic. And I love how he’s drawn to plushies and the soft bed. I’m sure they gave him comfort.

[@pepelepew1227]

Soft like mom 🐅

[@zorashki]

It's a wild animal it belongs in the WILD.. this is not a freaking house-cat.. doesn't matter if you provide it food or space outside.. he belongs in the Jungles, to live his Natural life.,,

​@@zorashkiGo do something about it then

[@wintermacca]

​@@zorashkiso that he gets killed by humans . Or he hunts too much other species get extinct. No. Where he is right now is safe for everyone including him.

[@Alyeska23]

At day 150 he looked like a big kitten. At day 200 he looked like a killer. Wow, what a change. Such beautiful creatures.

[@alifc1082]

What exactly makes him look like a killer?

[@MAGODEOZOO]

@@alifc1082 I think Killer is a bit strong but they might of meant as in hunting their prey kind of killer, so Hunter or Predator would of been better.

[@factChecker01]

At day 150 he looked like a big kitten, bro, at day 1 he already looked like 2 full grown Cats....and at day 150, like 300 full grown cats....do you know the size of a big kitten???

[@marieslabbert6009]

@@alifc1082 The difference in the stare in his eyes. I thought the same thing. At 150 days he was still a kitten, but by day 200 his whole demeanour has changed.

Dash has grown into a magnificent tiger. While it's bittersweet he will never live his life in the wild, he sure has an amazing place to call home & is receiving excellent care!

[@manannaik1341]

Jungle IS his home… it just they couldn’t find its mum that’s why it’s at “home”

[@ThatisnotHair]

[@carinarosales6899]

​@@uthopia27I think they do

[@emoliver80]

My gosh, hes beautiful! His stripes as he gets older are gorgeous! Him sucking on the binky as a baby was precious! I just hope he has animal friends to play with... im assuming at a sanctuary he does. Would've been neat to hear more of his story and how/why he ended up there.

[@cassy420blaze]

He got there because he was rescued. He cannot have animal friends because he grew up with none. You can't put a wild animal with a domesticated animal. The animal in the wild will attack and kill the domesticated animal because the domesticated animal doesn't have the tools or resources to fight for themselves in the wild, since they are domesticated. Your welcome 😁

[@jiaswan22]

Per the sanctuary’s website “As a neutered adult male, our goal would be to introduce him to his own kind and that will depend on personalities of each cat.” So, not outside the realm of possibility, but it is highly dependent on many factors.

[@lucy2014]

Ellen, like you I'm wondering if he has other animals to interact with and how did he end up in the sanctuary. I'm so thankful for these sanctuaries around the world because they offer protection for so many animals.

[@achannelhandle]

Why neutered? Is there a difference between a sanctuary and wildlife preservation? I.e. do sanctuaries focus on providing best life for current occupants, but neuter if non-endangered species?

[@paulogiogio8920]

@@achannelhandle hi

[@DaWrecka]

man, just one year and he got absolutely huge.

I just knew that was going to be Dash! I have been following his progress at the sanctuary for months. Such a special little baby he was -he's a big boy now!!🐅🐯💕

[@hoppas77]

Not sure why he has been alone but will he have a friend someday? did they say?

[@KissyKat]

@@hoppas77 how about checking out the wildcat sanctuary in Minnesota they got a great KZbin channel as well as a website and you can catch up on Dash there. I believe that he's still alone in the enclosure but I think his mom is right next door so if there's ever an opportunity they can safely put cats together they will but if they can't they won't they're really responsible at that sanctuary. Great question I hope you have a wonderful day thank you ☺️👍❤️

I totally get why people would want pet tigers. When I was 6-7, I thought the cubs were precious. However, it’s not fair for the animal to live a domestic life that it’s not ready for.
