So a lot like badgers, but without the curse of cuteness.
Tiger mating is uh... interesting too. They circle around for a bit,
sniffing and otherwise sizing each other up. She gives him a momentary
opening. He puts his jaw around the back of her neck for the few moments
it takes to do his thing, then jumps way back to avoid the possibility
of injury. Then they would go to separate pubs except they don't
socialize at all.
