A photo has recently emerged on social media showing a figurine of a Tiger head and Snake body inside a property.

Judging from the picture, there is a car in the background bearing a vehicle license plate of Malaysian origin and therefore it appears to not be taken in Singapore but instead our neighbouring country Malaysia.
Here is the picture of the figurine
While the coming Chinese New Year which is celebrated all over the world by Chinese is the zodiac year of the Tiger, there seems to be not much of an explanation as to why the figurine is a Tiger head with a snake body.
Here are some comments made by netizens
Netizens have of course made comments about the picture of the Tiger head snake body figurine.
- This seems like the Chinese idiom, 虎头蛇尾, which loosely translate to Tiger Head Snake Body and its meaning is a strong start but weak finish, maybe the female house owner is talking about her husband’s performance last night.
- But who would make a statue out of a derogatory idiom and put it in one’s property?
- I heard Merlion was looking for its long lost cousin…
- Due to rampant deforestation, tigers have evolved into half snake creature.
- That’s pretty cool, I would 100% took a selfie with a real snakeger.
- I pass through this person’s house almost every day, this is probably not the weirdest thing he put there before.
- A lot of people appear to be Tigers, fierce and stern but at the end of the day they are probably all just snakes with no backbone of their own.
- Is this what it would look like if the Tiger and the Snake were to reproduce and have offsprings?
- Whatever the joke or case is, here’s wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!
