Tigers Are Very Territorial And They Will Attack Anything That Appears To Be A Threat

Tigers are classified as the largest feline species in the world yet they are also classified as and endangered species. The natural location for tigers is Nepal and India but due to their endangered species status 80% of them now live in captivity. There are a variety of programs available for tigers where breeding is encouraged. It is hoped that the numbers can be increased and more will be integrated into their natural habitat. Those who do live in the wild are found among the forests and grasslands.

Of all the big cats, tigers are the heaviest with males weighing from 400 to 700 pounds and females ranging in size from 265 to 400 pounds. Tigers are easily identified from other types of big cats because of their distinct stripes. Each tiger has a unique pattern that is specific to them as our fingerprints are to us. These stripes help the tiger blend in to the surroundings so it can stalk prey. The stripes are imprinted on the skin as well as on the fur of each tiger.

While tigers are the largest of the big cats, they can run as fast as 60 miles per hour. After catching their pay they bite the back of the neck in order to severe the spinal cord or severing the jugular vein. They are also very fast swimmers and can catch prey in the water just as easily as they can on land. They are also among the mammals that are able to jump the highest. They often stalk medium sized prey including pigs and cattle. They enjoy stalking medium sized prey as it is easy to move but it will last them for several meals. Most healthy tigers only have to hunt once every 3 or 4 days.

Tigers are very territorial and they will attack anything that appears to be a threat to them, especially other tigers. These encounters with other males are so violent that the fight generally lasts until one of them dies. They are even territorial when it comes to male cubs so the female has to protect them from the adult males if they happen to wonder into the area. Their biggest rival is the brown bear and the two will engage in very intense battles should they wonder into each other’s territory.
