*Tigers are the largest of all wild cats and are renowned for their power and strength
*There are 5 remaining subspecies of tigers and all are endangered
*Tigers are hunted as trophies and also for body parts that are used in traditional Chinese medicine
*Tigers live alone
*They are powerful hunters and travel many miles to find their prey, such as wild boar and elk
*Females give birth to litters of two to six cubs, which they raise with little or no help from the male
*Despite their fearsome reputation, most tigers avoid humans
*Stripes identify the tiger like a fingerprint identifies a human, and they are all different
*In low light a tiger can see 6 times more clearly that a human can see
*Soft pads on the bottom of a tiger's paws muffle the sound of it's feet when it walks
*The tiger has the largest upper canine teeth of all the big cats and are generally about
3 inches long (around the same size of the middle finger of an adult person)
*A tiger can eat as much as 75 pounds of meat at one time
*A tiger's roar can be heard for up to 2 miles!

It's so shameful of me to have only realized that the tigers are already endangered when I watched a documentary about it on NatGeo. I just hope we will all help in keeping them alive and prevent them from being extinct.
Thanks for the heads up! Happy Thursday!
