Guinea Pigs: Tigers: The Ultimate Cat

Tigers: The Ultimate Cat

The tiger is the largest of cats. They are feared for their immense strength and power. Yet Tigers have been mercilessly hunted down for their beautiful coats before laws were set down. It was two late, however, a few of the eleven subspecies of the Tiger, Panthera tigris tigris, were extinct. Tigers were also threatened by the destruction of their homes, forests and jungles and other places in which the magnificent cats live. Now tigers have only about 2,500 of their kind living in the wild. Tigers rarely attack humans, whatever people might think. Only tigers who are sick and unable to hunt fast prey or have no prey to catch attack humans for reasons apart from self-defense.
Tigers live 8-10 years in the wild. Their roar can be heard from two miles away. Bengal Tigers live in India. They are the most common type of tiger, though they are still endangered. They make up half of the population of tigers in the world. They grow from 240 pounds to 500 pounds. Tigers have no fear of water and will swim easily in it. All tigers live alone, apart from when a female tiger is having cubs and raising them. They roam huge territories that they scent mark to tell other tigers to stay out!
Tigers hunt deer, buffalo, wild pigs, and other large creatures by night. They will follow the prey for miles sometimes until they can get close enough, leap, and give the killing bite. Tigers can eat up to 60 pounds of meat in a night, though this is not common. They normally will eat less.
Mother tigers will give birth to 2-6 cubs and raise them without the male. The cubs cannot hunt until they are 18 months old. They stay with their mother until they are two or three years old, and then they will search for their own territory.
Tigers are by far the Ultimate Cat.
