Sumatran tiger, Toronto Zoo. She's not growling; this is the "flehmen" response, which can be seen in all cat species when they are examining a pheromone or other interesting scent. The curled lip allows air (and smells) to be drawn over a special organ called the Jacobson's organ for analysis.

They're worn down from age. The two adult Sumatrans that the Toronto Zoo have are quite old for tigers! Which is mostly good, but I guess it sucks when your important body parts start wearing out a little.
