Despite his tender age, Nakoa exudes an elegant athleticism that hints at the power he will one day possess as an adult. He is quite large for a cub his age. His paws are far too big for the rest of his body but they foreshadow the beast he’ll become. The cub's fur is soft and fluffy, with a slightly shimmering quality in the right lighting. The most striking feature of this tiger cub is his light blue eyes, which are a mesmerizing and almost otherworldly hue. Some days, they appear more teal. As for his stripes, they are delicate and subtle, appearing as faint ghostly lines on the cub's coat. They are almost nonexistent if not in direct sunlight. These stripes are a lighter shade of the same creamy white as the base fur.
As he developed, he grew into a massive and awe-inspiring beast. At a towering height of 44 inches at the shoulder and pushing 400 pounds, Nakoa now commands attention wherever he roams. His coat also has noticeable developments. The once pristine and ethereal cream coat gradually darkens. The most noticeable change occurs in the coloration of these newfound stripes. Across Nakoa's body, the stripes take on a dusty tan appearance, offering a subtle yet striking contrast to the now creamier base coat. On his head, the stripes undergo a particularly intriguing transformation. Starting as faint, almost imperceptible markings, they gradually intensify in color, forming a captivating ombre effect. From a pale, almost beige hue, they transition into a rich and dark brown shade, creating a stunning crown of intricate patterns on its head.
