Flavio is a retired circus tiger and to the best of our knowledge he's 23 years old! This could make him the world's oldest living tiger! He came to live at Big Cat Rescue in 2002 and his wonderful "purrsonality" as made him a favorite among our volunteers :)

    If the average lifespan of a tiger is ~26 years, and he is ~23, than he has reached ~88% of the average lifespan. Considering the average lifespan of a human being in a 1st world country is ~80 years old, he would only be about 70 in human years. Additionally, why would the oldest tiger in the world only be 23, with the average being 26? Just curious.

    I'd love to donate money so Flavio and the other cats can carry on living in luxury, but I'm not sure if you guys accept British pounds sterling :P

    Wow, how is such an old animal so beautiful still?

    Most animals start losing color in their fur at least as they age.

    Quote: "In sanctuaries tigers have lived up to 26 years, as compared to 15 in the wild. Tigers only live 10-12 years in most zoos." (from bigcatrescue tiger-facts page).

    Non of your numbers are accurate... It's a big difference between "average lifespan" and "up to". Rethink, redo! :)
