Have to put this photo here, I have to agree with description from the zoo. I couldn´t look at this photo without laughing, that facial expression of the lion combined to situation is priceless :)

Memory of Samko ???
You can´t look at this photo without chuckle ☺️ In the winter time you used to make your striped roommates as your "couch" ??
Especially Balua - the one was honestly born to it, I mean what wouldn't you do for mate ?????
Have a nice day ???

Sometimes they make it so easy to compare. If we would have more photos like this there would be a lot less of debates :) But these guys sleep as they choose, not as asked to do

There was something captivating in the eyes of this lion, Samko. I managed to find a tribute video for him. Photos from little cub to handsome adult. And those eyes, how it looks to camera... I can´t remember anything quite same at least now. Even though captive, he obviously lived in a place where people cared.

I noticed one quite odd video... zoo-keeper say many good things, but what comes to size of this tiger, she obviously makes mistake. She says on video, that tiger stands over 9,5 feet tall, which sounds too much. Then she say, that she is herself 5 ft 2 inches tall. I think that in that she can be trusted.
So she claims, that tiger can stand over 289 cm tall and she herself is 157,5 cm tall. Then she reaches up, looks to rise so, that standing on her toes. And she has some pliers etc. in her hand adding height, when she gives meat for the tiger. And that tiger seems to stand on a bit higher ground, than zookeeper, stretched as much as it can.
Here comes interesting part. 157,5 cm, that can be put to 170 cm because she is standing on her toes to reach as up as she can. If her hand is 55 cm and estimating how much she can reach over head, I think, that 35 cm is quite close. Then pliers to that, about 15 cm. 170+35+15= 220 cm, which is 7 ft 2,6 inches.
Remembering, that she says, that tiger can reach over 9,5 feet, meaning over 289 cm, about 70 cm difference sounds quite big. Or 2 feet 3,2 inches in other words.
A good example, how important it is to have criticism even, when listening what someone who should know is talking. That tiger can reach over 9,5 feet only if jumping. I put here video and then attach two freeze-frames to show dimensions so, that everyone can see what I mean.

I come just to discover this video of a called "Alcyone" siberian tiger... Impressive body although it doesn't move at all. Just growling, but it sounds like a big motor engine.

He always claims Alcyone as an Amur but neither him nor his sister Atzlan look like pure Amurs, I'm sure they're hybrids like most captive Tigers.

@Pckts :
About #1556: you could be right...Alcyone's fur is too dark for a pure siberian tiger. It's hard to find some information about the " Black Jaguar White Tiger " group which diffused this video on youtube. Perhaps it's from a french zoo because of the man's repartee "Ne fais pas cette gueule !" ("don't put up this face !"), starting this video because of the permanent Alcyone's growl...

Just a side note, Alcyone is now out of the Big Pride
When asked where Alcyone is, he said
blackjaguarwhitetiger
@marco15mocha inside the night room, I moved him today to what used to be Dolano and Kiara’s night room because he fights with Luke. It’s time that I put him with some Siberian Tigresses like him...
