Everyone poops, including tigers.
I bravely and selflessly Google-Imaged ‘Tiger Butthole’ so you don’t have to.
Surprisingly, no tiger buttholes.
I can only conclude that no one has ever seen one and lived to tell about.
I also conclude that this pink Lego tiger butthole is speculative nonsense.
- EYE OF THE TIGER Tag!
The designer answered the question of why.
And the part is available in various colors and used in other sets although not as an exit. He talks about the tiger and the part in this interview.
I suppose it’s better than Disney’s approach of neutering all the lions in the Lion King remake.
This tiger seems neutered too. There are limits to anatomical accuracy, no weird barbed penises for LEGO.
If you gaze into the tiger’s butthole, the tiger’s butthole gazes also into you.
Reminds me of that old William Blake poem:
“Tyger Tyger, butthole bright”
Do we know it is supposed to be a male tiger?
Apparently not this one, or it wouldn’t be quite such a clean shade of pink (as the anatomy of all the house cats I’ve had would indicate.)
Does the Lego set come with tiger scat you have to put together?
If they didn’t add 3-4 brown bricks to make a poop emoji looking thing, it was a wasted opportunity.
Me too!
