Characteristics Of The Tiger

Tigers are amazing creatures that have gone through several evolutionary changes from the beginning of their species. A modern day tiger is most recognizable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. The largest modern day tiger in record was eleven feet tall and weighed 387 pounds. In the terms of science tigers are under the classification of roaring tigers and the scientific name of a tiger is Panthera tigris. But in order to learn about about the evolutionary changes of the tigers of today; it is important to look at the the core definition of evolution itself and the history of the adaptations that lead to the modern tiger. The adaptation of various ancestors shaped the outcome

Shere Khan appears in the movie “The Jungle Book” as Bengal tiger having hatred towards humans. Shere Khan proves how ruthless he is by hunting down Mowgli. Shere Khan’s hatred/fear towards human makes him go after Mowgli as soon as he finds out the human is lost somewhere in the jungle. Shere Khan actually finds the human and tries to scare him, but Mowgli doesn’t get frighten, so Shere Khan attempts a killing blow. Shere Khan jumped at Mowgli intending to bite his head off. This is basically attempt of first degree murder, Shere khan planned to find Mowgli and once he found him he was going to kill him. Although Shere Khan does not get to Mowgli (due to the help of Mowgli’s jungle friends) letting Mowgli escape, this shows how ruthless Shere Khan is proving he is not forbearing. Not only can Shere Khan show how ruthless he is, but he also shows how manipulative he is. Shere Khan is determined to get to the human Mowgli by any means necessary; there is very devious stuff he does to get to the human. Shere Khan is known to be a smooth talking Bengal tiger. As smooth as he is he also quietly hears other people’s conversations, then makes friends with the snake in the movie and sets up Mowgli, leading the snake to do the dirty work trapping Mowgli, then forcing the snake to leave. Shere Khan then had Mowgli all to himself

To understand an animal more, you must first understand the history behind it. The evolution of Siberian tigers started when a fossil of Siberian tigers were found in China. It was two million years old. Even though the animals have different features that make them appear different, they are very much alike internally, including that in the distant past they had a common ancestor. For example, all tigers have characteristics such as; strip patterns,large paws, long claw, whiskers,sharp teeth, long tail, and strong hind legs. The tiger species may have common characteristics, but their

In contrast to the African elephant, the Sumatran elephant has smaller ears and a more curved spine. However, its ears are still large and provide it with excellent hearing (better than a human’s). The Sumatran elephant’s skin is leathery and grey-brown; it has lighter coloring than the Indian or Sri Lankan elephants and also has fewer areas of depigmentation. All Sumatran Elephants have large trunks, which they use to drink, smell, and collect food, as well as many other things. Their trunk has over 40,000 muscles and is their most flexible body part. Male Sumatran elephants also have tusks, which are

The jaguar Panthera onca is the largest cat in the Americas and the third-largest in the world (after the lion and tiger). Its head-body length can reach around 240 cm, and its shoulder height up to 75 cm. They are identified by their yellow or orange coats, dark spots and short legs. The dark spots on their coats are unlike any other cat spots. In August and September, jaguars mate. After mating, the female will carry her young for around 100 days and will give birth to one to four young.

Is the Tiger a man or an animal? Tiger acts like a normal man when he is still alive, but all of that changes after he is shot in the head by Kev. Tiger loved life before he was taken into captivity by the zoo and had never been controlled by humans until now. After Tiger was taken into captivity by humans, be began to loathe and want nothing to do with them after they had taken away his freedom. The humans had the power over Tiger, they locked him in a concrete cage and put him on display for all the other humans to see. Tiger then gains power after his death, he is given immense intelligence allowing him to haunt those who teased him.
