Dog stops tiger and lion from fighting

[u/[deleted]]

[u/trustych0rds]

The tiger really likes that doggie. You can tell because he didn’t kill him.

[u/DiamondExternal2922 → u/trustych0rds]

Doggy was companion for the lion cub and they added tiger cub in too. So doggy is friend of lions and tigers in that enclosure since they were small cubs.. the Doggy doesn't realise the cats are play fighting

[u/shitposts_over_9000 → u/DiamondExternal2922]

usually with the dog having a good size/age advantage over the cubs at the start, so they grow up knowing the dog as being in charge.

somewhere around this point in development they usually separate the dog from the cats so that nobody gets hurt inadvertently, sometimes they do not, particularly in asia, and you will see dogs with full-grown big cats and often even then the cats will be deferential to the dogs.

[u/Practical-Tap-9810 → u/shitposts_over_9000]

Typically you're not supposed to put tigers and lions together

[u/chancesarent → u/Practical-Tap-9810]

Typically you're not supposed to put tigers and lions together

Unless you want ligers, who are bred for their skills in magic.

[u/CosmicCreeperz → u/[deleted]]

That was much less perverted than I was expecting. I guess that’s what happens after you get introduced to subreddits about dragons fucking cars.

[u/Neurotic-Kitten → u/CosmicCreeperz]

... What.

[u/DremoraKills → u/Neurotic-Kitten]

r/dragonsfuckingcars and r/carsfuckingdragons

[u/CosmicCreeperz → u/DremoraKills]

Looks like the latter sub was banned? Apparently there is a line, and it’s inanimate objects fucking mythical animals, but not mythical animals fucking inanimate objects.

yeah but look at that ass!

[u/tyamar → u/[deleted]]

Is that from Napoleon Dynamite?

[u/aschaschorl → u/[deleted]]

Thanks

[u/insane_contin → u/chancesarent]

I prefer Tigons, they may not have the same skill in magic, but they are much less of a glass canon

[u/aka_jr91 → u/insane_contin]

Eww, Tigons are stupid and they smell like poo

[u/Flash24rus → u/chancesarent]

ligers

or tigons

[u/irishdad55 → u/chancesarent]

Just ugly laughed at this

[u/ZAlternates → u/Practical-Tap-9810]

What about the bears?

(Oh my!)

[u/Commercial-Set3527 → u/ZAlternates]

I know Bruins and panthers don't get along

[u/AscendedAncient → u/Commercial-Set3527]

Panthers and Bears get along just fine, They've given the Panthers Bryce Young and 3rd leg Greg.

[u/Theatomone → u/Commercial-Set3527]

I'm still sad the past there were so mean to the Bruins

[u/Miennai → u/shitposts_over_9000]

Same. I've got a solid foot and a half on my mom now, but if she tells me to do something, you bet your buttons I'm doing it.

Emotions and hierarchy can both be true.

[u/Early_Permit_2072 → u/LL_Astro]

Best case scenario, like a lot’s of things into animals kingdom it’s not complex and devloped like it is for humans but it dont mean it’s not existing. Like intelligence, it may have différents levels.

[u/Key_Employee2413 → u/LL_Astro]

True! My Dog jumps in between my two girl kittens when the black one gets to excited and playful when the other one wants to chill and observe things at times. He’ll just get in tween and referee like a Cat Dad

[u/RunsWlthScissors → u/LL_Astro]

Usually emotions are a requirement for animals to understand and adhere to a social hierarchy.

They wouldn’t have the necessary tools to do it without them.

[u/shitposts_over_9000 → u/[deleted]]

even just with all dogs, or domestic cats w/dogs it is always a mix of both, but when you have a larger animal that defers to a smaller one it is almost always because of past experiences where they learned that behaviour & with animals this mis-matched that is something they learn very young when the smaller animal still has an advantage or usually do not learn at all

[u/lindsaythelostxanadu → u/[deleted]]

i think if you give every animal premium living experience vs reality i’m sure we would see all kinds of interesting things going on

[u/matrixislife → u/[deleted]]

It's a lab, and it's a lot smaller than the other two. Odds are it's both, they both like it because it's a lab, and they are both used to it being the sensible one/in charge.

[u/LuvliLeah13 → u/[deleted]]

Geese are 100% dicks with feathers on top to lull you into a false sense of security

[u/GodSentPotHead → u/LuvliLeah13]

statistics and probability will teach u 100% is a dellusion just like impossibility

you just need more info, variables and facts that still affect the equation

if the answer is 100%, its 99.9999....% that you could be wrong

[u/LuvliLeah13 → u/GodSentPotHead]

Fine. There was Harold up in Vancouver that save a drowning puppy back in 79, but the rest are dicks

Doggo translating like the good boy he is

[u/Consistent-River4229 → u/DiamondExternal2922]

My dog is the peace maker at my house fortunately his cat friends are a lot smaller.

[u/SirArthurDime → u/DiamondExternal2922]

When the little bros outgrow big bro but he’s still big bro.

[u/Negative-Ambition110 → u/SirArthurDime]

I’m 12 and 17 years older than my little brothers and they’re like 6’2 and 6’4 now, I’m 5’7. It’s such a trip.

[u/SirArthurDime → u/Negative-Ambition110]

Lol my brother is a year older and my dad always used to tell him when he picked on me I’d be bigger than him one day and now I’m 6’2 and he’s 5’8

[u/toomanymarbles83 → u/DiamondExternal2922]

Like when the dog jumps on the bed while you are play fighting with Mommy.

[u/17vq90vw2 → u/DiamondExternal2922]

I'm not so sure the lion was playing as it went for the crippling bite on the spine which i know they do to other male lions that are threats. That or I'm misinformed

[u/AceK1que → u/17vq90vw2]

Yeah they are "play" fighting, you practice kill shots, like dogs going at throats or exposing the belly

[u/BustinArant → u/AceK1que]

Or like when my cat bites me shins

[u/leviathab13186 → u/trustych0rds]

It's almost like the tiger respects the dogs authority, lol. I love the "I'm sorry for biting your mouth" licks at the end.

[u/tortugoneil → u/leviathab13186]

"I'm sorry for yelling, I love you very much no matter what, now go apologize to your brother "

[u/[deleted] → u/leviathab13186]

The way the tiger pets the dog at the end gives me the "you always bring out the best in me" vibe.

....I miss my dog :(

[u/battleduck84 → u/trustych0rds]

That was John Wick's dog. The tiger knew it wasn't worth it

[u/TrueCryptoInvestor → u/trustych0rds]

Good observation!

[u/flfoiuij2 → u/trustych0rds]

Petted him too.

[u/Isparza → u/trustych0rds]

Ya when the tiger swiped at the dog, it was all palms ✋

[u/Porkchopp33 → u/trustych0rds]

How does the size of that dogs balls fit in the cage

[u/Healthy_Yesterday_84 → u/trustych0rds]

You sir, are a genius!

[u/Ur_Just_Spare_Parts]

The lion is missing a leg

[u/Drewy99 → u/Ur_Just_Spare_Parts]

That's why it has a service dog

[u/Bool876 → u/Drewy99]

DAWG

[u/DisabledSecretPolice → u/Ur_Just_Spare_Parts]

It's a liger if you look careful. Must be a young one too judging by it's size.

[u/snazzynya → u/DisabledSecretPolice]

Could also be a tigon. They're smaller because tigons are hybrids between a lioness and a tiger, and lionesses carry a growth inhibitor gene. Since tigresses don't have the growth inhibitor gene, ligers get much bigger.

[u/DisabledSecretPolice → u/snazzynya]

Even for a tigon she's itty bitty

Edit to add: We are probably looking at a tween in terms of developmental stages.

[u/Mister_Bloodvessel → u/DisabledSecretPolice]

Probably a he, what with the mane. But it's all the same, as we don't know which hybrid it is.

[u/The_Queef_of_England → u/snazzynya]

Or a trigor

[u/DisabledSecretPolice → u/The_Queef_of_England]

You mean the Kree character from Marvel’s earth-616 who died in the same episode he debut in?

Teasing aside it's tigons and ligers only the name changed depending on what flavour of cat is the mum and what is the dad.

[u/The_Queef_of_England → u/DisabledSecretPolice]

Yeah, but he has 3 legs, so he's a trigon. I typoed an r instead of an n on the end.

[u/finsterer45 → u/DisabledSecretPolice]

Pretty much my favorite animal.

[u/DoctorChickenFries → u/finsterer45]

It’s bred for its skills in magic.

[u/plopmanswasteacc → u/BirdsLikeSka]

good point. i just see animal i go aww

[u/Xoxoticohtli → u/plopmanswasteacc]

The situation is indeed sketchy af, but the relationship between the tiger and dog in spite of the situation is wholesome.

[u/DiamondExternal2922]

The dog has been with them from when they were cubs

[u/DunmerSkooma]

That is an emotional support dog, the tigers emotionally support it.

[u/3wlyuy6wdfdf]

The dog is the buffer , big cats experience dopamine blossoms when around dogs ….. they like to pet dogs and experience the same calming effect as humans , they love dogs like we love dogs. Large cats in the wild have been observed adopting stray dogs pretty often and bringing them into the pride . Dogs are divine, we are so lucky to have them in our lives.

[u/CptGoodMorning → u/3wlyuy6wdfdf]

Dogs are divine, we are so lucky to have them in our lives.

Amen.

[u/TriGurl → u/CptGoodMorning]

Agree!

[u/DFX1212 → u/3wlyuy6wdfdf]

I don't know if any of that is true, but I'm going to tell that to my wife and see if my cat can get a dog.

[u/IntoTheFeu → u/DFX1212]

Hopefully you'll have better luck than when I just asked my wife if we can get a big cat for our dog. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND..

[u/IUpVoteIronically → u/IntoTheFeu]

[u/iso_mer → u/Limdis]

Lol well ppl do that too, they just don’t do it to their dogs, so just because they eat them doesn’t mean they don’t still think they are a cute snack.

[u/elmo69ing]

[u/lambda_14 → u/ArmadilloDays]

Yeah, I think so too. The "lion" has stripes on the lower back. Also, it's missing a leg.

What a horrible sized enclosure. Imagine locking these wild animals up in tiny enclosures just for us to gawk at. Absolutely disgusting.

[u/westcoastcdn19]

These poor animals should not be together like this

[u/DisabledSecretPolice → u/westcoastcdn19]

It's a tiger and a tiger/lion mix you can see the tiger marks very lightly on it's rump.

[u/Outrageous_Fold7939 → u/westcoastcdn19]

Whoever is down voting this just stop. Or elaborate and tell me why two apex predators that do not interact often in the wild locked together is a good idea

[u/trekkiegamer359 → u/Outrageous_Fold7939]

Lions and tigers generally should not be together, however if a sanctuary ends up with one abandoned cub of each, they may put them together when they are young for socialisation. Dogs are often out with abandoned large feline cubs to act as surrogate parents/older siblings. They found the cubs do much better with the dogs, and they are generally separated once the cats get too big, (at which point the cats are introduced to the adults of their species living at the sanctuary.)

These are obviously young cats. They're not ready to be without their doggie mentor(s). As for why the tiger and lion are together, probably a lack of same species cubs to socialize with. The cubs were getting a bit rough, but they weren't trying to kill each other. This was just a playground brawl for these two, and the mentor dog was making sure things didn't escalate too much.

Also, I didn't downvote them. I just thought I'd answer your question.

[u/AnastasiaDelicious → u/trekkiegamer359]

It’s a liger so separating it now will get really messy. 😉

[u/trekkiegamer359 → u/AnastasiaDelicious]

Eh, what's a bit of genetic re-editing and duplicating of mass?

[u/AnastasiaDelicious → u/trekkiegamer359]

[u/bearboyjd → u/Outrageous_Fold7939]

One of them is missing a leg. I'm not saying it's right but there might not be a lot of options. I don't know the full context so idk.

[u/Stalker401 → u/bearboyjd]

That is odd, but it could be how the lion ended up with the rescue in the first place, I also don't know the full context though.

[u/bearboyjd → u/Stalker401]

Agreed, it could even be very likely if someone caught them using a trap. So it definitely could be just a messed up thing to be doing to them.

[u/big-buddha-belly → u/Outrageous_Fold7939]

It’s a companion dog, zoos use them often including here in the US. They grew up together, and the dog is the alpha here. I’ve read that deadly attacks from the tiger/lion/cheetah etc on their fellow companion dog is very rare, although it could happen.

I got to watch a dog named Remus grow up with a cheetah cub on Instagram. They are now both fully grown and they still spend a ton of time together

[u/NastyNess_]

This breaks my heart all around… one of them has had its leg amputated. Horrible conditions

[u/MrSparr0w]

Why isn't there anyone making sure these big cats are taken care of properly because they clearly aren't? Besides that lions and tigers should obviously not be kept in captivity in general there are some things that should definetely be punished.
