Fun Fact
One of the largest land mammals in the world. The largest tiger ever recorded was almost 3.5 meters long and weighed nearly 453 kilograms. That’s the same weight as four refrigerators
Tiger absolutely loves to swim – and they’re good at it! In the wild and in captivity, you can expect to see the tiger spending at least a portion of their day swimming and cooling off in the river.
Dependent on mothers, cubs face risks of starvation when apart, territorial male aggression, and human-caused threats when separated from their mothers.
No two tigers have the same stripes. Each pattern is completely unique to each big cat, helping create a way to tell them apart.These strips will also appear on their skin!
