Are these Tigers Mating?

[jayne]

When Kevin came over on Friday he brought me three tigers which were from Brixton last year.

They have settled in well and when I went in first thing this morning I noticed two were together at the front of the tank.I thought it was slightly unusual as they are normally asleep in the morning but didn't really take much notice.

An hour later me and Kev went back in the room and they were still in the same position.



As you can see they are leaning slightly and their heads are very close together,rights sides touching.

Kev has never seen anything like this and I've only ever seen pantheras mating and they have all their bits on display so I was wondering what you lot think. Are they mating, just resting or has someone superglued their heads together?

They've been in the same position for two hours now that I know of, and btw they are not dead

Over to you

Well if they aint mating, they sure as hell look like they're up to something ;D

They're lovely btw *jealous*

Difficult to say from this pic although the way they are laying you would say so.Have you lifted their heads to see if some of the "bits" are still hanging out ?

When they finally went their separate ways the darker skinned one on the right of the photo was showing evidence to indicate it had definitely been up to something!

Just a case of waiting a couple of weeks now to see if there are any eggs.
