EL TIGRE ES PEQUEÑO Y GORDO

EL TIGRE ES PEQUEÑO Y GORDO

First of all, it’s not nice to take pictures without sourcing them to the photographer. Which is doubly important because if you had you would have found the rest of Paul Wiggin’s photos of this sumatran tiger cub from the Chester Zoo and and used this one instead, which is objectively 10x better in every way
