Facts about tigers
Facts about tigers.
- Tigers are the largest cat species in the world and the third-largest carnivore on land.
- It's estimated that tiger hunts are only successful about one in every 10 to 20 attempts.
- The average lifespan of a wild tiger is 10 - 15 years. But on rare occasions, they can live up to 26 years in the wild.
- A tiger's tail is about three feet long and helps them balance when making hard turns.
- Tigers are the only cat species that are completely striped. They have stripes on their skin as well.
- An adult Amur or Siberian tiger can weigh up to 660 pounds.
- The Sumatran tiger is the smallest, with males only weighing up to 310 pounds.
- Females generally weigh less than males in all subspecies.
- You can hear a tiger's roar from up to two miles away.
- A tiger's hind legs are longer than its front legs, giving them the ability to leap forward 20 - 30 feet in one jump.
- Tigers have large, padded, feet that makes it easier for them to silently stalk their prey.
- An adult tiger can consume up to 88 pounds of meat in one meal and will often stay with its kill or bury it to return and dine over a period of days.
- Unlike most big cats, tigers are powerful swimmers and have been known to swim great distances to hunt or cross rivers.
- Tigers are generally nocturnal hunters. Their night vision is up to six-times greater than ours.
- Tigers are a keystone species. They're integral to the health of the ecosystems in which they live.
