Tigers are such incredible, strong and unique cats. What makes them unique? First of all, tigers are the largest cats in the world! They are the embodiment of bravery, competitiveness and self-confidence. The are also difference from other wildcats due to their solitary nature.

This allows you to draw a bridge between his total isolation from childhood and the outside world with other people.
The world he has created is certainly better than our reality!
