International Tiger Day

TIGERS ARE MY FAVOURITE ANIMALS. TIGER IS THE NATIONAL ANIMAL OF INDIA, MY COUNTRY. AND TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL TIGER DAY!

Fact time:

1. 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. 2. The Siberian tiger is the biggest of all tigers. 3. The tiger is the national animal of both India and Bangladesh. 4. The stripes on the forehead of a tiger can look like the Chinese character that means "king." AHA!!! 😎👑 5. A tiger's back legs are longer than its front legs, which makes it a running, jumping, and pouncing machine.

6. Tigers have over 100 stripes, which helps the tiger blend in with long grass. Like fingerprints, no two tigers have the same pattern.

7. Less than 100 years ago, tigers roamed over much of Central, South, and Southeast Asia and were even found in Turkey. Now, they are found only in parts of South and Southeast Asia, and some pockets in Eastern Russia and China.

8. A group of tigers is called a streak or an ambush.

9. The Bengal (or Indian) tiger is the best-known of all tigers. Shere Khan in the movie The Jungle Book is a Bengal tiger. 10. A tiger's upper canine is about 4 inches (10 cm) long, which is about the size of a man's finger. 11. A tiger can eat nearly 1/5 of its body weight in one meal—about 88 pounds (40 kg). In one year, an adult male tiger can eat up to 8,000 pounds of meat.

I LOVE TIGERS!!!!!! 🐯
