The tiger is the largest species of big cats. Unfortunately, they are endangered due to excessive amounts f hunting. They have a beautiful reddish orange coat with black stripes. Their under side and insides of their legs can be white.

The tiger can be 2 meters long (with a 1 meter long tail) and weigh up to 363 kg! 

Tigers usually hunt alone, their diet depends on what breed they are and where they live but for example, the Bengal tiger will eat prey like deer and wild boar.

#1- There have being 4 species of tigers that have become extinct and 5 still remain.

#2- To kill prey, the tiger will bite the animals throat and not let go and if it is a smaller animal it will break it's neck.

#3- It may take more then one day for a tiger to eat it's kill, so it will cover it with dirt and leaves and will come back to finish it.

#4- Tigers love to swim, unlike other members of the cat family.

#5- Tigers have being over-hunted leading to being endangered and extinct. People would hunt them for their fur and bones, sometimes to use in traditional medicines, another reason is that people take up their habitat turning it into cities and other civilized buildings.
