Winter Travel Disguised as Carnivores

Ottawa (Jan 8) - When I need to be taken out in the cold, for some reason I am disguised as a brightly colored carnivore...

I am little tan to white Siberian Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica). Also known as the Amur, Manchurian or North China tiger, it is confined completely to the Amur region in far eastern Siberia


Here I am obviously a Dom gyamuk or bright blue tiger bear of some sort. The Tibetan Blue Bear (Ursus arctos pruinosus) is a subspecies of the Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) found in the eastern Tibetan plateau. It is also known as the Himalayan Blue Bear, Himalayan Snow Bear, Tibetan Brown Bear, or the Horse Bear. In Tibetan it is known as Dom gyamuk.


I am cute little powder blue panda here. Though belonging to the order Carnivora, the panda has a diet which is 99 percent bamboo.


I invariably fall asleep when disguised in this fashion, and have not been known to complain when transported by car or pram.
