i don't know how it tells you but how is red a tiger type thing and his grampa a human plus how did hes dad turn to stone. also where is he's mother
 
His Granpa adopted him because his father was turned to Stone defending Cosmo Canyon against invaders who fired poisonous arrows into him.

Obviously Bugenhaagen wasn't his biological grandfather, unless his family is into some form of beastality. Hmm...
Seto was petrified during the war with the Gi when he went to defend Cosmo Canyon from the attackers. The Gi used some sort of darts to petrify him, but he still stands guard over Cosmo Canyon.
His mother isn't mentioned much in the game, but I assume she died in the war.
 
I think she did die in the war, they say she stayed and fought while Seto was a coward and ran away but he went thru that door and fought tehm all off resulting in him being turned to stone - not entirely sure why they actually kept the truth from Red XIII tho

They kept it a secret so he wouldn't go into the cave looking for his father i think. Not until he was strong enough anyway. Its a bit of a slap though that the spirits were there despite Seto's sacrifice. I think hes more of a dog than a wolf :)
 
he does that howl thing like a wolf so i'd defo have to say a wolf of some sort but he has a face like a tiger or large cat of some description
 
I'd say he's more of a lion, though the howl suggests that he may have some wolf in him :D
 
I thought Seto fought the enemy alone, his mother didnt fight with him.

Red XIII is like a lion type beast.
 
Thsi should answer your quesiton lol.

Wikipedia said:
Red XIII (レッドXIII, Reddo Sātīn?) (also known as Nanaki) is a large and powerful lion-like creature, coated with fire red fur. His species possesses great longevity, which surprises the party when they learn that his 48 years only amounts to adolescence by his species' standards. Though his real name is Nanaki, he is given the name Red XIII by Hojo, and the name sticks when the party rescues him from Hojo's laboratory. Nanaki believes that his father, Seto, had been a coward who abandoned Cosmo Canyon during a war with the now-extinct Gi Tribe, leaving the tribes to fight on their own. As such, he was deeply ashamed of being Seto's son.

Red XIII joined Cloud's group while they were rescuing Aerith Gainsborough from the Shinra building, where Hojo was attempting to breed Aerith with Nanaki in order to preserve what he believed to be two endangered species of animal.

When the group later visits Cosmo Canyon, they meet the village elder, Bugenhagen, whom Red XIII refers to as his "grandfather." Here, Red XIII learns the truth about his father, Seto, who had actually fought the Gi Tribe when they were attacking Cosmo Canyon by way of a secret path. He managed to fight and defeat the Gi Tribe by himself, protecting the people of Cosmo Canyon, even as they fired poison arrows into his body, which soon turned him into stone.

Finally knowing the truth of his proud heritage, Red XIII, with some encouragement from Bugenhagen, gains the courage to rejoin Cloud's party for the rest of their journey, during which he proves himself to be a valuable asset and friend.

Shortly before the game's ending, the player can return to Cosmo Canyon, where Bugenhagen — having lived to the age of 130 — lies on his death bed. Before passing away, Bugenhagen suggests to Red XIII that he may yet discover a mate, indicating that Red XIII is not the last of his kind.

In the epilogue to the game's ending, he is shown 500 years after the events of Final Fantasy VII, looking over the overgrown ruins of Midgar, now aged into adulthood and accompanied by cubs, confirming Bugenhagen's prediction. Nanaki's "official" mate is named Dinne. They were mated in a special ceremony seen in "Before Crisis" at Cosmo Canyon. She secluded herself in a spiritual 2-year meditation, which is why she was not seen in FFVII.
 
So he's a wolf lion then....without a mane

Yeah, I agree with the wikipedia page. He seems more lion-wolf than anything else.
