weak oppose lovely image but you can't see the cub and the tigress has a weird pose --Thanks, Hadseys 21:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Really? It's right in front of the tigress (just look where she's looking). I saw it literally the second I saw this photo for the first time. As for the pose, again, the tigress is looking at her cub, and I've seen it frequently in documentaries about various animals, including tigers.--Twilight Helryx 21:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps he means you can't see the cub's face, or that you can't see the second cub (the image page says there are two of them - "Cubs Thyme and Warner, with their mother Sungari"). --jjron (talk) 05:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support the lovely image reminds me that 2010 is "Tiger's year" according to Chinese zodiac (thought the lunar year does not come yet).--Caspian blue 22:05, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent for displaying the animal, the environment, and the relationship structure for the animal. Staxringold _talk^contribs 22:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Suppport. Despite a slight problem with the framing (too much foreground, not enough background), there's a universality to the relationship between mother and child that's enough to disregard the rational thought of big honkin' carnivore who'd feed the likes of me to this cub in favor of awww...toss them a steak.
