'''Bob Nelson''' (born February 2, 1962), also known as Anthrocoon is a furry from [[wikipedia:Massachusetts|Massachusetts]] who has created websites devoted to clean [[macrophilia]] and [[microphilia]]. His characters are '''Anthrocoon''' and '''Mike Rowe Fox'''. In addition, he created stories about a world named Wodlen populated by 70-foot-tall raccoons, foxes, and so on; an Earth astronaut lands on the planet and is befriended by the likes of raccoon Arkody and fox Ungorp. Nelson has been a disk jockey at WMWM in Salem, Massachusetts since 1981 and has done live call-in reports from conventions. The nickname Anthrocoon means man-raccoon and
is also a salute to the Anthrocon convention.

He has led panels on Classic Cartoons, Zootopia, and Greymuzzles at Furpocalypse, Anthrocon, Furrydelphia, Anthro New England, Furcationland, and Saturday Morning Contoons and has recorded convention panels on audio and video.

'''Tigers''' (''Panthera tigris'') are a [[species]] of large [[feline]] and the largest extant member of the [[cat]] family.

== Overview ==

Tigers generally are orange (with white countershading), but recessive traits cause some other color phases, including brown or black-striped white and "golden tabby". These unusual colorations are much more common in [[fursona]]s than in actual wild tigers, however. A recessive gene exists in the Bengal subspecies which, if carried by both parents, can result in a white tiger (more properly known as ''chinchilla albinistic'').<ref>[http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/white.html White Tigers] on Tiger Territory website. Retrieved June 16, 2011.</ref>

The striped pattern helps break up their form in long grass and makes it more difficult for prey to visually determine which way they are facing or if they are moving closer or further away. Interestingly the striped pattern exists on the skin of the tiger as well as in the fur,<ref name=TT2>[http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/skin2.html Skin and Coat 2] on Tiger Territory website. Retrieved June 16, 2011.</ref>meaning that a shaved tiger will be camouflaged as well as a tiger with fur. The skin of a white tiger is a bluish color, also complete with stripes.<ref name=TT2/> Stripes vary in width, pattern, and number, and are like human fingerprints in that no two tigers are ever marked the same.<ref>[http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/skin.html Skin and Coat] on Tiger Territory website. Retrieved June 16, 2011.</ref>

The Tiger is the national animal of Bangladesh, Nepal, India<ref>[http://india.gov.in/knowindia/national_animal.php National Animal] ''Panthera tigris'', Tiger is the national animal of India, Govt. of India website,</ref> (Bengal tiger), Malaysia (Malayan tiger), North Korea and South Korea ([[Siberian tiger]]).

The [[Werecat|weretiger]] replaces the [[werewolf]] in [[shapeshifting]] folklore in Asia.<ref>{{cite book |last=Summers |first=Montague |title=The Werewolf |publisher=University Books |date=1966 |page=21 |isbn=0517180936 }}</ref>

==Habitat==

Tigers can adapt to virtually any climate, thus they can live in most areas. They are found naturally in India, Indochina, China and South East Asia, and can also be found in the far eastern areas of Russia.

The areas occupied by wild tigers have decreased from a historical standpoint due to hunting and human civilizations, but they are starting to reclaim lost territories again due to their protected status.

== Tigers in mainstream culture ==

Portrayals of tigers in modern literature and the media have varied widely. In ''[[The Jungle Book]]'', the Bengal tiger, Shere Khan, is depicted as the mortal enemy of the human Mowgli. At the other extreme are [[Winnie the Pooh]]'s friend Tigger, and Hobbes from the comic strip ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]''. "[[Tony the Tiger]]" is also featured as a mascot on the cover of the popular cereal "Frosted Flakes" (known as "Frosties" in Europe, Australia, Israel and Middle East).

== Tiger and furry ==

Tiger coloration is distinctive, and for this reason, is often found in [[hybrid]] fursonas: witness a large number of tiger[[Skunk (species)|skunks]], tiger[[kangaroo|roo]]s, and tiger[[mouse|mice]] in the fandom.

[[Quadruped]] Tiger characters exist on a number of wildlife-themed [[MUCK]]s, including [[India MUCK]], [[Shadow Over Kamchatka MUCK]], and [[TerraFrore MUCK]] (the latter two are closed).
