Most tigers have more than 100 stripes,
and no two tigers have the same stripes.
The roar of a tiger can be heard from over a mile away.
There are nine subspecies of tiger: the Bengal tiger, the
Indochinese tiger, the Malayan tiger, the Sumatran tiger, the
Siberian tiger, and the South China tiger.
The Siberian tiger is the biggest of the nine subspecies and can
reach an average head and body length of 75-90 in. They can weigh up
to 660 pounds.
A tiger marks its territory by spraying trees and bushes (contained
inside the territory) with its urine, and also leaves deep scratches
on tree trunks.
One averaged sized tiger can eat up to 60 pounds of meat at a single
time.
A tiger’s canine teeth can grow up to three inches long, easily
capable of crunching through the spine of any creature on Earth.
A tiger can go as long as a week without a meal.
A tiger’s saliva is antiseptic, and is handy when a tiger cleans its
wounds.
If you were to shave all the fur off a tiger’s skin, the stripes
would still remain.
