Product Information

Tigers scratch trees and use their urine to mark their territories. Their urine smells strongly of buttered popcorn. Considering lions and tigers have the same ranges but don’t necessarily cross paths means they can easily coexist in the wild. Believe it or not, lions and tigers can actually reproduce! The offspring of these felines have separate terms depending on which sex of lion and tiger mated. Liger Another faux pas in that description lies with the fact that female lions do the majority of the hunting, as well as protecting their young from outside threats. While males definitely have a more fearsome and majestic appearance, the females do most of the grunt work, yet, they were passed over when it came to the title of “queen.”

The Sumatran tiger is the smallest tiger. A male weighs about 265 pounds (120 kg), which is about the same as a female lion. [3]Unfortunately, tigers are still poached in some areas of Southeast Asia for consumption in traditional medicines, especially in Laos and Cambodia. There are a greater number of tigers in captivity in the US alone than there are wild tigers left on earth… Bengal tigers are the least endangered of the tigers, with approximately 2,000 left in the world. [2] It’s not a large volume of fluid, but the main purpose of the filiform papillae is to transport the saliva to areas where the surface of the tongue alone can’t. Tigers possess two types of hair, guard hair and underfur. The guard hairs are longer and more durable than the underfur and mainly function for protection purposes. The primary function of the tiger's hair is for warmth. The underfur traps air which insulates the tiger's body thereby keeping it warm.

Like most of their feline counterparts, tigers are very clean animals. They mind dirt so much that they never take the meat of their prey inside their dens.Tigers are the largest cats on Earth. They can weigh up to 720 pounds (363 kg) and stretch 6 feet (2 meters) long.While not quite as tall as a male lion, a male tiger is heavier and longer. [3] While the tiger is an expert hunter, only one in every 20 hunts ends in a kill. In areas where prey is scarce, even fewer hunts are successful. [3] All cats are very strict in means of toilet duties. In captivity, they move far away from the sleeping area to do their dirty deeds. You’ve heard the statement your whole life–“The lion is the King of the Jungle!” Obviously, this was built around the obvious strength, ferocity, and dominance the lion exhibits as an apex predator in the wilds of Africa and Asia. Although the Bengal tiger is the most populous species, its numbers keep decreasing rather than increasing and is danger of extinction • Just 100 years ago, over 40,000 Bengal tigers roamed India's forests, but now there are less than 1,400. Poaching and loss of habitat are their primary threats. [3]

Tigers have over 100 stripes, which helps the tiger blend in with long grass. Like fingerprints, no two tigers have the same pattern. [3] Because of their immense size, tigers can starve to death within two to three weeks. It takes about 30–40 days for a human to starve to death. [2] According to ancient Chinese belief, a tiger's body parts have magical powers to cure disease. Tiger bones supposedly cure weakness; whiskers are used for toothaches; and tiger tails are used for skin diseases. These long-held beliefs fuel catastrophic tiger poaching. [6] Tigers feed on deer antelope, wild boar, and buffalo. But did you know they also eat a variety of birds, fish, rodents, small elephants, rhinos, crocodiles, and even leopards? Even though tigers spend a lot of time in the water, the action is mostly for cooling and lowering the body temperature.

A tiger's upper canine is about 4 inches (10 cm) long, which is about the size of a man's finger. [3] You must not underestimate the lion, however. Despite the fact that the tiger seems more flexible and faster than the lion, the lion possesses a protective nature over his pride that could make him invincible in a fight.

Such elegant gait, dynamic movement, and naughty demeanor are the result of a tiger’s highly developed hunting anatomy. A tiger's tail is about one meter in length (3 ft) and may play a part in their visual communication (see communication- vision section). The 5 Key Differences Between Tigers vs Lions Even as cubs. the lion and tiger have distinct coloration differences, especially the stripes versus the solid color. Lions and tigers have always been selected as rivals or opponents, due in part to the fact that they are both such magnificent and majestic animals.Chris. " How do We Know What Animals Can See, Hear, and Smell?" BBC: Earth. October 19, 2015. Accessed: September 27, 2017. So, the short answer is that in battles between lions and tigers, tigers have generally held the upper hand and won fights. Like most other animals, industrialization and other human activity have impacted tiger species throughout the years. To date, there are 5 living subspecies of tigers, which are the Bengal tiger, Sumatran Tiger, South China Tiger, Indochinese Tiger, and Siberian Tiger. A typical tiger’s tongue is around eight inches long, compared to a human’s tongue, which is an average of four inches in length. Tigers have a reduced-sized clavicle (collarbone). This characteristic enables them to attain greater stride lengths because the smaller clavicle allows for a wider, unrestricted range of movement of the scapula (shoulder blade) when running.
