Bernie usually called him Serge." 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.

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. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

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"...

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. Nathan Baxter ----- Iä! Iä! Moe fthagn! |
