Tigers are my favorite big cat (Pallas’s cats are my favorite small one), and here’s a video from BBC Earth about courting tigers. It’s pretty anthropomorphic, and only an interlude in the solitary life of this species. Plus it looks a bit dicey with all the roaring and all; and on top of everything, mating lasts only a minute or so. What a life!

You’re right about it being anthropomorphic; but, it was sweet (watch on mute and it’s delicious). = )
Is there a more beautiful mammalian predator? Lions are close, but I’m with you on the tiger…subjective as it is. Wonderful footage here as well.
So beautiful and warm. I feel very contented now.
Beyond magnificent, the most beautiful of our Big Cats.
