It is said you are a Tiger Expert, that you have a PhD in Tigers. Well, answer me this: What subspecies is Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes? And what about Tony?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Idk about Hobbes, but Tony the tiger seems to be Italian-American, which leads me to wonder if perhaps he’s descended from some of the tigers that fought in arenas in Ancient Rome. Those likely would have been extinct Caspian tigers (which were found in Turkey), so let’s say Tony the tiger is one of the last vestiges of this subspecies.
We have no way of knowing, though, if Caspian tigers could talk or were particularly partial to sugary cereal, so he may be a hybrid of various subspecies.
