Here is just a bit of facts that i bet you did not know about me :)
You
can hear a tiger roar over a mile away!
A
tiger can eat 100 pounds of meat a night! Compare that to 400 hamburgers! They
need a lot of food because they go days between meals.
Tigers have been called man eaters, yet they eat frogs, monkeys, porcupines fowl,
and tortoises, especially when a good deer is hard to find.
Tigers have round pupils and
yellow irises (except for the blue eyes of white tigers). Due to a retinal
adaptation that reflects light back to the retina, the night vision of tigers
is six times better than that of humans.
The size of a tiger's territory depends on the
amount of food available, and usually ranges from about 10 to 30 square miles
(26-78 sq. km). Siberian tigers sometimes have really big territories (as
large as 120 square miles).
Although tigers usually live alone, tiger territories can overlap. A
male tiger's territory usually overlaps those of several female tigers.
Tigers can see in the dark six times better than
humans can. They can also see in color.
The heaviest tiger recorded in the
Guinness Book of World Records is a 1,025-pound male Siberian tiger.
