It's a black panther-as in that particular mutation-looks like an American bobcat.

They're the only ones I know of with those long faces and small ears, and that long of fur. Hard to tell from just the face, though.

Woo? :happy:

I'm going to have to say that's a tiger. No other large cat has striping like that. The odd coloration has only 2 explanations - either it's really a Liger that is exceptionally gothic, or someone had some fun retouching the image.

I would call it "Black Tiger", if you were fishing for a title for the avatar database.

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

The eyes seem slightly too close together to me, and the nose seems slightly too small, to be a tiger.

And American bobcats do have stripes on their faces.

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

Well perhaps. On the other hand, Bobcats have proportionately much larger ears - so we're at an impasse.

But you may be on the right track with the panther idea. Oddly enough, this image bears a striking resemblance to this-

-but heavily photoshopped. But scrutinizing this very closely (after a couple of hard ciders), I am compelled to think this is the actual picture that was the base for the image that avatar was based on. Whew, what a mouthful! And a mindful. That word is so awesome as a noun. <3

Forget it guys.
Mindi and I already hashed this out and my argument prevailed.

It is a kitty. :tough:

It's a Tapir. Look at the snout!

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

JimMorrison, Yup, that is the image I found to make that peticular avatar. Nice catch, I generally do google image searches for like "Wild Animals" or "Big Cats" or when wanting something more specific, "Tiger", "Panther" etc.

The next batch comming soon, was from a search of "Animal Paintings".

Cheers! :)
