How does one train a big cat? surprised
well, you raise them from birth, care for them like their mommy
xd and then make sure as they grow up they behave well towards people. theres a place called Tiger Island where they actually walk their adult and cub tigers around the park now and then and the visitors can follow and touch them.
mrgreen i wanted to work there so badly
whee
if the animal isnt going to be released into the wild, they raise it to be social with humans and pretty much domesticated wildcats.
3nodding except if you get in the middle of a tiff between two tigers, or arent paying attention to their more subtle actions, you can get hurt

btw, sharks are pretty awesome, i actually have a load of sharks teeth that were scavenged from different beaches. some are really ancient, a deep blue-gray color. i heard sharks lose at least one tooth every time they make a kill - i think tiger sharks have the coolest teeth out of all of them

also, their skin is covered in what seems like more teeth... theyre sharp all over
xp
*knows more about sharks, but thinks shes been jabbering way too much about their teeth*
whee sorries
It seemed appropriate. That sounds like it would be fun! I don't know a lot about tigers but I do know that their tails usually give off the best warnings. They snarle like dogs and bare there teeth.
I'm not sure sharks lose a tooth after every kill but it's possible. They continuously lose teeth throughout their entire lives, they have rows and rows of them behind the already being used set. Yes, tiger sharks have the most different teeth they act as a saw everytime they jerk their heads back and forth. They're able to cut through a human bone in one bite, but the Mako is the freakiest looking with their big black eyes and sleek body's and these skinny pointed teeth.
Their skin is sort of scaled like dragons skin and if you rub them from nose to back it won't cut you but rub it the other way and it will. They're actually trying to use this technology for ships and boats because sharks never get barnacles for that very reason. It puts less resistance and would save a lot on fuel.
I don't have a lot of sharks teeth because I don't live in a place where I can walk along the beaches and find them. I've also never been to a beach where I could find such things but I do have a megalodon tooth that my mother bought me one christmas. The megalodon wasthe biggest shark that every lived. They assume that they got to be over 50ft long and have teeth up to 7inches long. I saw a picture once of what their jaws may have looked like and it could fit seven 6' men inside it. They guessed it fed on whales and could have easily taken them out like the great white takes out seals. They also believe that they were part of the great white family.
Anyway, I didn't know that there was a Tiger Island. It would be amazing to be able to raise a baby tiger. I would love that! xD I would also love to raise a shark but we can't really domesticate them. x/ Which reminds me that I saw the only great white kept in captivity at the Monterey Bay Aquarium! It was small but it was really cool! Then they had to relese it because it attacked one of the other sharks in the tank. eek
the tails, yes, and the ears. also the way they look at you. if its very intent or even an intense stare, you want to be careful. snarling is when things have already progressed farther than you want to find yourself
whee
i heard the sharks losing a tooth every meal thing when i went to the shark exhibit at the point defiance zoo/aquarium
3nodding the mako and sandshark have those really long needle-like teeth that sometimes curve outwards and make them look really creepy
xd
xp i got most my sharks teeth off ebay, theyre fun to make into jewelry - i even got a really big tooth and two other large ones that are less complete
3nodding megalodon teeth are sooooooo awesome!
surprised i wanna get one
heart
too bad there arent small versions of the whale shark... those would be awesome pets if miniaturized
xd
