Q: Is this walking tiger really life-size?
Yes — at 140cm long and H65cm, this sculpture reproduces the actual proportions of a moving adult male tiger. An adult Bengal or Siberian tiger measures between 1.4m and 1.8m long — the 140cm of this sculpture corresponds to the lower end of this range, perfectly representative of a life-size adult individual.
Q: Can this sculpture stay in an outdoor garden all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the orange-tawny tones and the black from fading. At 15kg and 140cm long, its stability outdoors is good — its quadrupedal posture distributes the weight over four support points. For locations very exposed to the wind, a slightly sheltered spot is preferable due to its length.
Q: What is the difference between this walking tiger and the lying tiger in the catalog?
The posture and the register. The lying tiger (99x58xH44cm, 10.5kg, Large) is at rest — majestic, stable, horizontal. This walking tiger (140x43xH65cm, 15kg, XXL) is in active movement — dynamic, oriented, the body tense in motion. The lying tiger is wider and more stable on the ground; the walking tiger is longer and taller. Together in the same space, they create the most complete adult tiger composition — rest and movement.
Q: Are there other sculptures to create a complete family tiger composition?
Yes — the catalog offers three tigers: this walking tiger (active adult, XXL, 140cm), the lying tiger (resting adult, Large, 99cm) and the baby tiger (young in exploration, Small, 25cm). The photo gallery of this product shows the three together — a family tiger composition with three postures, three sizes, and three very distinct registers, unique in the entire Garden Nice catalog.
Q: Is this a suitable piece for a professional space with a wild nature theme?
It is even its most impactful use. At 140cm long and life-size, the walking tiger is a major decorative attraction for zoos, parks, hotels, themed restaurants, or event spaces. Its dynamic posture generates strong and spontaneous reactions — it is the sculpture that gets the most photos from visitors in the entire Garden Nice catalog.
