I don't know what this tiger has got going on here. Ate something she didn't like, maybe? Calgary Zoo
Took this a few years back at Prague Zoo, like the colours. This was a really hot day and I can see why the tiger is cooling off, although the more I look at this picture the more I think that the tiger is sad.

Tiger babies, or cubs, are born helpless. At birth, a cub weighs 2.2 pounds (1 kg), and a female may have as many as seven cubs at a time, according to the San Diego Zoo. Usually, only two survive, though, because the mother must leave the cubs while she hunts, and she cannot kill enough prey to feed so many cubs.
Tiger cubs mature quickly. At 8 weeks old, they are ready to learn how to hunt and go out on hunting expeditions with their mother. At 2 years old, the cubs will set out on their own, and their mother will have another set of cubs. Tigers typically live 14 to 18 years.
