In this blog I'll talk to you about everything you need to know about Tigers. Why tigers? I don't think I need to explain it
Tiger's Stripes
Tiger's Stripes play an important role. The colour of it ranges from brown to black and it helps tigers hide in tall grass and behind trees, to sneak up on their prey, otherwise they would be such a fierce and deadly animal. Also it's not just their fur that is stripy, it's their skin as well! It's important as they don't hunt in groups like lions or are as fast as a cheetah, because tigers are solitary cats that rely on stealth and camouflage to survive.
What Tigers Eat and How they catch their prey
Tigers eat a variety of meat such as Deer, Boars, Bears, Buffalos, Wild Cattle, Antelopes, Elephant Calves and even sometimes a human, so watch out! Like most cats, tigers ambush their prey. The first thing tigers will do is they will stalk their prey. They will then circle closely and then charge from behind. This is a deadly way of catching prey as the prey barely have any time to react to what's happening.
Tiger's Sleep Routines
Tigers sleep for up to 20 hours a day! You would think tigers would spend at least half of the day hunting, but that's not always the case! Yes, tigers like their sleep, they usually snooze on rocks or in grass and prefer to sleep in cooler conditions. Tigers do not spend more energy that is needed as they would need more food.
