Tigers

Tiger Chuffs - a friendly greeting Tiger Talk - these tigers have a lot to say!

 

• Tigers are the largest member of the cat family. Two major subspecies are the Siberian (now known as the Amur Tiger) tiger and the Bengal tiger

• The tiger is one of the most fearsome predators in the world, exceeded in strength but not speed by the Kodiak bear.

• Massively built with awesome size and power, with some exceptional individuals reaching 800 pounds.

• Every tiger has stripes, but no two tigers have the same stripes. Stripes are as unique to a tiger as finger prints are to a human.

• They are excellent swimmers.

• Tigers hunt as they live-alone. There is however recent evidence that some tigers do indeed remain as mated pairs, hunting and rearing offspring together

• Endangered due to loss of habitat, illegal hunting of the tiger and the species they hunt, and expanded trade in tiger parts for traditional Chinese medicines.

• White tigers are only born to parents that both carry the recessive gene for white coloring.
