2. The roar of a tiger can be heard from over a mile away!
3. 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. There are also three extinct subspecies : Balinese, Javan and Caspian
3. The Siberian tiger (photo above) is the biggest of the nine subspecies [outlined above]. These beasts can reach an average head and body length of 190-230 centimetres (75-90 in). They can weigh up to 300 kilograms. Now that’s a beast!
4. 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.
5. One averaged sized tiger can eat upto 60 pounds of meat at a single time!
6. A tiger’s canine teeth can grow up to three inches long, easily capable of crunching through the spine of any creature on Earth: like a warm knife through butter.
7. The tendons in a tiger’s leg are very strong: even after being shot dead, a tiger was known to have remained standing. That’s strength.
8. A tiger is diurnal, which means its peak times of activity are dawn and dusk.
9. A tiger eats around six kilos of meat per day, but can go as long as a week without a meal.
10. A tiger’s saliva is antiseptic, and comes handy when a tiger cleans its wounds.
11. A tiger’s striped coat is perfect for camouflage, among tall weeds and grass. Also, if you were to shave all the fur off a tiger’s skin, the stripes would still remain!

Here are some interesting facts about tigers:
1. Tigers are the largest naturally occurring specie of cats.
2. Of tiger subspecies, the Siberian Tiger is the biggest cat that can weigh well up to eight hundred pounds.
3. Tigers are very beautiful and their striped coat makes for ideal camouflage.
4. A tiger’s stripes are like fingerprints – no two are alike. In fact the stripes’ pattern is often used to identify individual tigers in the wild.
5. In India paw prints or pug marks are often used by local wildlife officials to identify individual tigers. However, this technique is now deemed to be flawed since an individual tiger may leave several different types of paw prints depending on its speed and terrain.
6. Tigers are largely solitary cats and are most active between dusk and dawn.
7. Tigers are largely muscular and rely on stealth and power to bring down a prey rather than speed. Like other big cats most tiger ambushes are unsuccessful.
8. Tigers are perhaps the most notorious big cat for man-eating. In fact the single greatest man-eater is history is believed to be the Champawat Tigress who killed over four hundred thirty people in India decades ago until she was finally killed by the great Jim Corbett.
9. Tigers are highly ferocious and unlike the laid back male lion, it’s never wise to turn your back to a tiger even in captivity. Even seasoned zoo keepers report tigers assume a stalking position and prepare to strike when they turn their back to them in the cage.
10. Tigers have suffered greatly at the hand of humans for their beauty and majestic appeal – they have been hunted nearly to extinction in most of their former territories – the largest pool is now in India where recent reports suggest there may be as few as fifteen hundred of the Bengal tigers remaining.
11. An adult male tiger in the wild requires around one hundred and fifty kilograms of meat a month.
12. If Chinese traditional medicine makers were to stop using animal parts – tigers, rhinos and many other endangered animals would benefit greatly.
13. One of the best places for watching tigers in the wild is the Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh in central India.
