apparently... this weird creature... is ----- a TOY-GER!
how's that for a name? haha.
so the deal with this things is that it is a cross breeding of cute felines... to produce... oops, wrong terminology... to BREED cats that have the distinct tiger-like strips on their bodies.
OMG! it's like some freaky science experiment go awry.
luckily... they still remain largely different from the beasts they were suppose to imitate.
behold... a real tiger. see subtle differences? haha.
pity... how cute little kittens...

amazing how man can simply change the things around him to suit his desires and fancies. even the smallest creatures have never escaped this vice that man-kind has indefinitely imposed upon our world.
alas... the saddest thing is... no matter how hard we try to shape and define our enviroment... with one flood/earthquake/tsunami/meteor shower/volcanic eruption/bird-flu/mad cow disease/AIDs outbreak... nature will always regain control.
why fight what you cannot change?
a struggle for survival... is a fight for purpose. =) haha.
