Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 282 Eyes Wide and White Forehead!

"After the age of 18, a tiger's physical condition will begin to decline, and it will enter old age."

"When tigers get old, their fur gradually turns white, starting from their foreheads."

"Pretending to have a white forehead!"

"Like that one over there."

Chen Nian pointed to the Tiger King in front of him.

One viewer asked curiously in the live chat: "The one with the piercing eyes and white forehead? Is it the one Wu Song fought?"

"The book describes a tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead!"

"Well, he seems alright. After all, he's getting old, so his condition is definitely not as good as when he was a young tiger, right?"

Upon seeing these discussions, Chen Nian quickly shook her head.

With a serious expression, he corrected, "No, no, no! Please don't think that way! It's a very common misunderstanding."

He pointed to the tiger king with a snow-white forehead in the distance, his tone filled with utmost awe.

"Although tigers over 18 years old may begin to slowly decline from their peak physical attributes, such as absolute speed and explosiveness, and officially enter their old age."

As they spoke, the tiger king seemed to have finished its nap, slowly stood up, and walked to the pond to drink. The striking white fur on its forehead shone brightly in the sunlight, not at all showing signs of old age, but rather like a unique medal symbolizing seniority and strength, adding to its profound and dignified aura.

"but!"

"But listen up, fellow cat lovers!"

Chen Nian said seriously, "Their hunting experience, their sense of danger, and their accumulated wisdom and shrewdness will only get stronger!"

"Imagine a super beast that can survive for more than 18 years in the perilous wilderness or in the complex life of a forest. I don't need to elaborate on how terrifying the battles it has experienced, the dangers it has avoided, and the survival wisdom it has mastered are, right?"

"That would be an absolute nightmare for every creature in the forest!"

"Forehead"

Upon hearing this, the cat lovers immediately fell silent.

The comments section, which had previously thought the 'old tiger' might be easier to deal with, fell silent.

18 years?
If you dumped them in the wild, it would be amazing if they survived for two months!

Suddenly, an untimely comment popped up.

"So what? No matter how experienced you are, are you capable of fighting a lion? The size and strength are undeniable; the lion is the true king of beasts!"

This comment stood out.

User 'Lion Sauce is the best' has been banned by the administrator.

Chen Nian ignored the disruptive comment and continued.

"Therefore, everyone must understand that a white-browed tiger is far more terrifying and less likely to be provoked than a young striped tiger or even a large tiger. They may not act easily anymore, but once they do, it will be a thunderous strike, precise and deadly."

After he finished speaking, he asked the viewers in the live chat.

"So what should a tiger that lives past 'white forehead age' be called?"

The screen was instantly flooded with the words "Mountain King".

My comment about 'the lion' just disappeared from the comments section.

Chen Nian nodded with a smile.

“That’s right, it’s ‘Mountain King’.”

Mountain Lord.

King of the Mountain Beasts!

"Although this name carries a mythical connotation, the ancients believed that tigers became spirits with old age, and it was strange for them not to die, so they were respectfully called 'Mountain Lord'. But this does not prevent us from using it to describe those tigers that are extremely long-lived and full of legendary stories."

Chen Nian paused for a moment at this point.

His gaze shifted from the distant Tiger King to the passageway leading from the observation deck to the inner work area.

From this distance, it doesn't look like much at all!

It would be even better and more convincing if it were closer.

Chen Nian's desire to observe more closely, and even test his own affability, grew stronger. He stood up and walked straight towards the person in charge beside him.

He also showed off his VIP pass.

"Hello, is there a place where I can observe tigers up close?"

The person in charge naturally knew Chen Nian.

These past few days, the most famous person in Xiye Village isn't some internet celebrity snow leopard, but Chen Nian!

So when Chen Nian explained her purpose, the person in charge immediately nodded with a smile.

"some."

"The internal observation area offers the opportunity to see tigers up close."

"Really?" Chen Nian's face lit up with joy.

He then asked, "Can I go in and take a look? I know the rules!"

"no problem!"

Seeing that the person in charge agreed, Chen Nian immediately turned around and shared the good news with the cat lovers in the live broadcast room and Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue exclaimed with delight, "Then wouldn't I be able to capture even rarer footage?!"

"Ok!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Urged by Xia Qiyue, Chen Nian and the other person followed the person in charge into an employee passage, and then walked all the way into the rear of the tiger area, officially arriving at the employee observation area.

The person in charge led Chen Nian in.

Then, pointing to the observation window ahead, he explained, "Not all tigers like to roam outside; occasionally, other tigers will sneak off to relax inside."

"Whether you can see it or not depends on luck."

Chen Nian was clearly lucky.

As soon as he got closer, his eyes lit up: "There really is one!"

Just below the observation window, in a resting area covered with dry, soft grass, lay a Siberian tiger of equally formidable size.

With its back to the observation window, its massive body rose and fell slightly with its breathing, as if it were dozing off.

Compared to the majestic white-browed tiger king outside, this tiger's fur was equally bright, but some white hairs had clearly appeared on its forehead, indicating that it was also a 'veteran'.

"Hehe~ What a coincidence!"

After gesturing for Xia Qiyue to walk quietly, the two slowly walked over.

Through the sturdy observation window, I began to carefully examine the enormous beast that was so close at hand.

to be frank.

This was also the first time Chen Nian had observed an adult Siberian tiger so closely and without any obstruction.

What I've seen on TV or at the zoo before was always from a great distance, or the tigers weren't cooperative, so I could only get a general view.

This is a rare opportunity!
Upon close observation, the imposing presence of the Siberian tiger's astonishing size was amplified to the extreme. The live stream broadcast this scene in real time, immediately triggering a new wave of shock.

"Holy crap! It's huge?! It looks even bigger than it appears from the outside!"

"Even when he's lying down, he looks like a small mountain!"

"Those claws! They're bigger than my face! What if I got slapped like that?"

"These muscles feel like they could open up the top of my head in an instant!"

"Hmph! It's nothing special. It's about 30/70 with me, and it can eat its fill in three minutes."

An adult Siberian tiger looks even larger when it lies down!
It's like a small mountain!
Chen Nian examined the Siberian tiger and murmured, "The Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger, is the largest and strongest living feline!"

"none of them!"

(Come give me a hug~ Just one!)
