The last thing you'd expect is to find a tiger in Canada. Right? Wrong. There it was, in broad daylight, not far from the river bank in Whitehorse. You gotta do a double take when you see a tropical beast in the Yukon.
But you can relax. Of course it wasn't real.
But here's the interesting part. Not only did the licence plate say "Tiger", the vehicle itself sported tiger-like camouflage - as you can see from the wood-like veneer of the paintwork. And the interior of the car sported large tiger motifs.
Find that hard to believe? Just look at the image below, with the distinctive seat covers clearly visible through the rear window.
Check out the rules at Camera Critters or go to Misty Dawn.
Ferocious I'm sure Sandy
ReplyDeleteNice find!
ReplyDeletethat's one dedicated tiger fan
ReplyDeleteWell, it's good to have a theme, I guess. But I'd rather have tigger than a tiger!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot, David! Or a grrrrrrr! ;-)

ReplyDeleteMind you, I've also seen some pretty dedicated Kiwi and Aussie rugby fans as well !! :-)
Love it! This driver must use Exxon fuel...after all, didn't they once sport the advertising campaign, "Put a tiger in your tank?" Cheers!

The Tiger lover seems to eat, sleep and DRIVE Tigers. He is one serious fan of the beast. Some brave man that one...!!!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing guy. Thanks for sharing your find, David.
I had to look twice to see what the little fellow on the licence plate was doing, squatting there... and then I realized he was panning for gold. *heh*
ReplyDeleteYes, that's what it says!
ReplyDeleteA roaring success!
ReplyDeleteGreat find for a camera critters photo. Maybe this had something to do with a football team, like LSU tigers. I could see a fan doing something like that. The inside motif is pretty cool
ReplyDeleteDavid has a Tiger in his tank.
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose if you drove it around and around very fast that it would turn into butter?
ReplyDeleteVery impressive!
ReplyDeleteNice marketing skills ;) ;) Got me curious.
ReplyDeleteWill have to get better at that myself since I'll have a novel and some poetry published...

ReplyDeleteDavid: I think you would have seen a livelier one in your home country of India. Those Canadian ones are quite stoic.
ReplyDeleteOkay, is it just me? Am I the only one that thinks the fisherman on that plate looks like he is dry humping the boat attached to that anchor.
ReplyDeleteGo Tiger!
Good catch! How fun! The safest tiger to see! Well, provided it didn't run over you! :)
ReplyDeleteDown tiger. It's a tiggeric post as usual. I think we shall have to ban you from the nemes, you are just too good.
