But, it said earlier that he was orange... I thought that Siberian Tigers were white... Do I recall correctly, or am I just being stupid?

Blessed be.

You do not. According to my recent research, white tigers are always Bengals; the mutation is unique to that breed. Siberians are orange.

I thought that too, initially - it seems logical, after all - but it does not appear to be the case.

I believe that siberians have some white on them, but only as part of their strip pattern, and possibly only when young. I wasn't aware that the full white mutation was unique to Bengals; I too would have thought it only viable in siberians.

On a side note, why get Kate a Siberian? I know they're the largest breed out there, but I would think one of the smaller ones would be easier to care for. Or was it just a case of "it needed a home at the right time"...

He'll be one hell of a guardian once he grows up a bit. Don't annoy Kate; it might tick off her tiger. And Utena. And Juri. And the rest of the Duelists. And... ...Good Goddess, she's better protected by now than Asgard itself.

Okay, I'm wrong but not stupid. Thanks!

But this one I _know_ (^_^):


The other was a scarlet aerospace fighter, stiletto-pointed
and sleek, with a pair of straight, T-shaped wings and a large
underslung cannon, its entire body aft of the cockpit bubble taken up
by a brawny vector-ringed fusion turbine. it stood on wheeled
tricycle landing gear,
cockpit canopy standing open, boarding ladder
deployed, waiting.

The highlighted above is wrong, at least in canon Bebop. Swordfish is a tail dragger (surprised me when I realized it, but it makes sense, considering how the engine is designed/placed).

Blessed be.
