"Fingerprinted!
A tiger’s stripes are like a human fingerprint. The pattern of stripes is unique to each tiger, and most tigers have more than 100 stripes.
The stripe pattern is not just on the tiger’s fur, if you shaved a tiger you’d find its distinctive markings still visible on its skin.",
"India has the largest number of tigers.
Most naturalists predict India has somewhere between 3,500 and 4,500 tigers left. The best guess is that there are only 5,000 to 7,500 tigers in the wild.",
"We all need glasses!
A tiger's night vision is six times better than a human's.",
"Female tiger’s are solo-mothers.
A male and female tiger come together to mate, and then go their separate ways. A female tiger can have up to 7 cubs in a litter.
In the wild, the mother could not kill enough prey to feed this many cubs, so usually only 2 survive. ",
"Who wants the front seat?
The largest tiger species can be as long as a station wagon. Siberian tigers are the largest of the tiger family, with males often weighing more than 600 pounds and measuring 10 feet long. Sumatran tigers are the smallest and weigh 250 pounds and up to 8 feet long. ",
"Olympic swimmers
The tiger can easily swim across rivers and lakes 8 miles wide. They have webbing between their toes which makes them efficient and fast swimmers.
One of the tiger’s hunting tactics is to chase hoofed prey into the water so they will be at a disadvantage.",
"There are currently six different species of tigers.
These are Siberian, Indochinese, South China, Bengal, Malayan and Sumatran tigers. There were three other species of tiger which have become extinct within the last 70-80 years: the Bali tiger, Java tiger, and Caspian tiger.",
"Smile for the camera.
Tigers have the largest teeth of any land-based carnivorous mammals. Tigers can eat as much as 60 pounds of meat in one sitting. Their prey includes small to medium sized mammals which can range in weight from 60 to 2,000 pounds.
Tigers tend to stalk their prey for 20-30 minutes before they attack, and despite their size are experts at moving slowly and quietly.",
"Tiger pills
Tiger's are often used for medicine. The use of animal parts for medicines is deeply established in the Chinese culture, even though synthetic alternatives have been around for years. The tiger's bones are the most valued part, considered as a cure for rheumatism, reducing pain, memory enhancement, and various other medical conditions.
The tiger's eyes are thought to improve vision, the penis an aphrodisiac, and the brain is said to cure laziness and pimples. In fact: the only part of the tiger not used for medical purposes is the skin. Some people believe that sitting on a tiger's skin will ward off ghosts, but if they sit too long, that person will turn into a ghost themselves.",
"Tiger tricks
Some people have come up with unusual techniques to trick a tiger. When fishing, wood chopping, or honey gathering, many Indians have been attacked and carried off by tigers in the area.
In an attempt to stop the attacks, workers sometimes wear human masks on the backs of their heads. Tigers normally attack from behind, but since the workers have started wearing masks, the tiger may still stalk the Indians, but they will not attack.",
"Last ditch effort
Man eating tigers are usually desperate themselves. Tigers who attack humans are usually infirm or disabled, attacking out of hunger and desperation.
The exception to this rule are the tigers who inhabit an area outside of Calcutta, known as the Sundarbans. No one knows why they are becoming man-eaters, but one theory holds that the tigers in this area have been drinking water with a high saline content for generations. Accumulated salt damages their liver and kidneys, leading to pathological changes in their behavior. Another theory states that the honey collectors disturb the tigers in spring when the tigers are birthing or raising new cubs. To the tiger's they are only acting in self defense.",
"A nice afternoon by the lake
Tigers usually drag their prey to water to eat. They are also commonly seen wading in pools to cool off.",
