Strangely shaped and appears large, for some reason travels on its hind legs and does so comfortably Very odd coloration "fur" and patterns you dont recognize Smells unlike anything you've ever known You've never seen them eat vegetation, or forage, and their version of hunting is calling down thunder itself, a sound you can hear for miles and sounds like hell for your sensitive ears. Somehow, this sound means some has just been killed. They drag the carcass back to their herds instead of just consuming it and leaving the rest for scavangers, thats weird, do they even eat them? You've never known anyone to eat or try to hunt one but the one time one of your cousins wondered close, he died almost instantly They live in giant communities and seem to conjure food from the very ground, their dens composed of stone and wood and their territory isnt marked, its as if simply the fact they shape the local area like that is enough of a statement about what species owns it They've the forward facing eyes of a predator, so its probably best to keep your distance from whatever these things are. Yknow, im starting to see why so many animals are skiddish

I like the reference to the male tiger caring for his cubs, it’s rare, but truly not uncommon. Still baffles scientists though, even though domestic cats do it.

[@devilsadvocate243]

They're just like us

[@cat_spit]

It turns out that plenty of "solitary" cats aren't actually that solitary, they just don't live in groups like lions. In addition to the well-documented tiger case, they're finding that cougars will share their kills with other adult cougars, not even necessarily related ones (although it's probably more likely between related ones). If Cougar A allows Cougar B to have some of its food, in the future Cougar B is more likely to let Cougar A share its kills as well. And for some reason this surprises people. I get that documenting a behavior for the first time is a big deal but why is it such a shock that these animals will tolerate each other and maybe even have friendly interactions sometimes?

[@MVP469]

Wait, so you're telling me your domestic male cats care for their young ones? Here the male cats usually just kill and maybe eats the kittens too.

[@greasygranpapy7529]

At the risk of being obnoxiously petty about semantics... being rare and not uncommon are mutually exclusive...

[@ameliorateepoch9917]

It’s rare for humans to see it, but it’s not an uncommon behavior, y’know?

[@frogglen6350]

My favorite part was the sudden mass hunt that the humans decided to do. I also had no idea that tigers in the wild could show submissive behavior ti avoid fights like showing their bellys or sharing scraps of left over meals.

[@randomgamer625]

Most animals roll on there belly’s and piss themselves to show there submissive or out of fear to mark there territory
