Camo: a magical tiger odyssey is a graphic novel-in-progress currently being created by Brent M. Parker, a.k.a. Animagusurreal. Anthropomorphisization is about on the level of The Lion King - the characters are sentient, but are quadrupeds, live in the wild, and do not wear clothes or use technology.

Premise
Camo is a middle-aged tiger living on an island in a river in the Indian jungle with his three nearly-grown cubs, whom - contrary to general male tiger behavior - he has raised. He constantly wards off invasions of his territory by rival tigers - including his ambitious young Neighbor - with nothing more than his calm, confident presence.
Camo's only son, Young Camo ("Y.C.") is a rare white tiger, which makes it more difficult for him to blend into his surroundings. Camo insists that the happy-go-lucky Y.C. toughen up in order to compensate for this disadvantage, and the discussion escalates into an argument, and then a fight.
As Camo is about to pounce on Y.C., the younger tiger reflexively uses his hitherto-undiscovered magical powers to send his father to Siberia.
Y.C. embarks upon a quest to find his father, master his powers...and perhaps discover his own territory on the way.
Meanwhile, Camo must learn how to survive in someone else's territory.
