T. Tiger Contemplates a Reducing Plan

I found Tiny Tiger sitting on the kitchen table contemplating this tall, thin, white critter. As it turns out, the creature was featured on a calendar that's either on its way in or on its way out, given the new year. It is a short-tailed weasel, also known as an ermine; their coats are usually brown, but turn white in winter.

T. Tiger was a bit envious, if I must tell you the truth, to see another creature so svelte and so sparkling with whiteness. He thought about his own small, round, stripey orange and black body; and wondered if he should consider a reducing plan in the new year. What would he look like as a taller, thinner, whiter Tiger?

I don't THINK so, Tiny Tiger. 
You are practically perfect exactly as you are!
