Tiger Discovers He Does Not Like Pineapple
Tiger Discovers He Does Not Like Pineapple
by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent
Though he was told by numerous friends that it was delicious, Stripes the tiger determined on Wednesday that he most certainly does not like pineapple.
“He’s used to the classic flavors of Indian cuisine, like tamarind and cardamom,” close confidante Padma Shah told The Fluffington Post. “He thought that he might like pineapple mixed with some red curry, but … no, he wasn’t a fan.”
Stripes has been trying to go vegetarian for health reasons, but friends don’t think that’s necessarily wise.
“He reads a lot on the Internet and he gets really into diets, but he’s fickle,” said Shah. “Last week it was Paleo, and he couldn’t get enough meat. Now he’s on the Engine 2 diet and it’s all plant-based foods. But I mean, he’s a carnivore, he’s supposed to eat meat. I don’t think this is healthy.”

Athena, a tiger from North Carolina, can think of no better way to spend an afternoon than getting her belly rubbed.
“She can’t get enough of them,” said Alison Blakey, a source close the situation. "It’s pretty easy to tell when she wants a belly rub – she’ll just flop down on her back and stare up at your with these shimmering, sad little eyes. It’s impossible to resist!“

Tiger’s Smile Is a “Work In Progress”
Tiger’s Smile Is a “Work In Progress”
According to friends, Fred the tiger is still working on the fine art of smiling.
“The whole being nice and not eating people thing is new to Fred,” said close friend Jay Glasso. "He’s working on it, but right now his smile is more of an angry snarl. We’ll get there, though, we’ll get there.“
Friends say that Fred’s new dedication to niceness is an attempt to woo a giraffe at the local zoo, on whom he has a crush.

Tiger Brothers Reunited After Years Apart
Tiger Brothers Reunited After Years Apart
Two tiger brothers, who had been separated since birth, were reunited in a dramatic meeting yesterday in Berlin, Germany. The tigers had apparently been adopted by different families when they were young cubs, but were moved to seek each other out earlier this year when one brother was assigned a school project about family history.
“It was great to see them back together,” said Chuck Greenberg, a private investigator who assisted with the search. "They really took to each other and bonded right away – almost as if they’d grown up together all along.“
