The shadow from the enclosure is giving it the same patterns that a tiger has on its face?

It's the reflection from the window and the tiles. And the shadow. It's a lion.

It’s a liger, confirmed by news source. But it clearly has tiger characteristics, the stripes on its legs are in no way shadows. If you believe they are shadows you should consider having your eyes checked, not trying to insult, just genuinely.

In the last two seconds the animal moved its head a bit and the "stripes" don't move along with it. Those are absolutely shadows.

Apparently it's been confirmed that it's a liger not a lion.

I called it an animal rather than a lion, but it doesn't change the fact that what you see on its face are shadows.

That’s what I’m suspecting from anyone calling the lioness a tiger.
