Characteristics Of The Tiger

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

Also, they specifically help tigers by setting up certain areas for them to live in, so they don't run out of room. However, there are some ways they contrast this idea. In the zoo, they have twin tigers named Dasha and Dayna, and they have their mother. But, the zoo says that they think that the mother needs to leave soon, and they may send the tiger twins somewhere else. This could potentially affect their lifestyle.

Females are tan and males are chocolate brown. Male sea lions can reach uq to 6-8 feet and weigh 440-880 pounds. Females are 5-6 feet and can weigh 110-240 pounds. Their eyes are very large. They have 40-60 whiskers and 34-38 teeth. Their hind limbs have 5 digits. On three of those there are nails. When swimming their hind limbs help them to steer.A Sea lion has a small flattened tail in between its hind limbs. Sea lions have ear flaps. These animals can voluntarily open and close their nostrils. A common behavior of this animal is to scratch its neck with its hind leg like a dog. Sea lions rest in groups of ten or more on the beach. Their average lifespan is 15-25

One of these many adaptations is there claws. Lions use their claws to kill their prey and rip the meat out of its body. It also helps them defend themselves and show their power and strength ( which scares their predators and competitors from them)

At 6,500 to 11,000 pounds, the Sumatran elephant is a truly massive creature. Even young elephants can weigh up to 1 ton (2,000 pounds). The females, called cows, are smaller than the males. Sumatran elephants stand 5-9 feet at the shoulder, and can be up to 20 feet in length. The average lifespan is 55-70 years. 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

Jaguars are very unique animals that are located in Central and South America. They consider being mammals and live only up to twenty two years. Jaguar is muscular and large animal of the family Panthera onca, also they are relative to tigers, and lions, panthers. This animal is not very tall and big, Jaguar is six to seven feet long with tail included (tail is about twenty to thirty inches long.) Male jaguars of course are stronger and heavier than female. The female can stand up to twenty- three inches tall while male can up to thirty inches. They have very flexible bodies and are adapted for running and climbing. Jaguars have very muscular limbs and paws with very soft pads that contains in their bodies sweat glands. Jaguars weight between sixty eight and one thirty six kilograms. They considered being the largest cats in the Americas, at the same time they are the only representatives of the genus Panther.

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.

There are multiple theories of what ancestor the modern tiger could’ve evolved from. But it is strongly believed that like most carnivorous animals; the oldest ancestor of a tiger is a Miacid, an ancient carnivorous animal that lived sixty-two million years ago. Even Though they lived and went extinct so long ago, the similarities with the physical look of a Miacid and a modern tiger are striking because they both have strangely patterned dark parts with a orangish-yellow color in their fur. The evolutionary timeline of a modern tiger is long because other roaring cats are also modern relatives; for example the a Tigers structure is its relation to panthers, lions, jaguars, and leopards. All of these animals are included in the genus “Panthera”. In addition an example of a vestigial structure in the cat family would be the dewclaw. The dewclaw is not used in modern domestic cats yet it is sometimes used in hunting for wild cats, for example the tiger uses it to grip onto a moving prey. But the dewclaw can be seen as an analogous structure for both dogs and tigers because even though they were evolved from separate ancestors they both have similar dewclaws on their

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

As you can guess, Tiger is a stuffed tiger. I know it's not a creative name but remember, I was 4. My mom, aunt, and I were at the Topeka Zoo seeing all of the exciting animals. We walked by the tiger exhibit and I thought they were amazing. They were a beautiful, reddish-orangish color that made me feel extremely excited. When I looked around to see if there were any more tigers, I noticed something that rocked my world.

Tigers are a fascinating, and endangered, animal. They develop fast, and go off on their own when they’re mature. Tigers live in various climates, and eat various things as well. They are very strong, and have amazing energy. Not only are they magnificent to watch, but there are many interesting, and not well known, facts about them.

Majestic, noble, and brave, this famous iconic wild animal on the planet has captivated the people since the beginning of time. They are most feared by other animals thus, known as the king of the jungle – no other than the lions. Member of the genus Panthera, the lion is one of the big cats in the Felidae family. A lion’s head and body size average about 4.5 to 6.5 feet and tail of about 26 to 40 inches in length. A lion also weighs about 265 up to 420 pounds and a size relative to a 6-foot human. These mammals are also carnivores. Lions have always seen hunting in groups called pride. While lions generally avoid a full-grown elephant, lions still prefer their preys large like the zebras, buffaloes, and giraffes. Poised as the top animal in the ecological pyramid, lions have strong physical qualities, fascinating reputation, and an unfortunate decreasing number of population.

The Siberian or Amur tiger is well known for being one of the biggest Asian cats in the world;. Its also known for its wonderful dark, horizontal stripes on orange fur. The average tiger weighs between 396 to 660 pounds and can reach a length up to 10 feet. Because of its size, it is widely believed to be a powerful animal. However, these majestic animals are endangered - in fact, they are among one of the most endangered species on Earth. By the 1940s, the Siberian tiger was driven to the brink of extinction. Only forty tigers remained in the wild at the time. Fortunately, Russia granted the tiger full protection; which made Russia the first country in the world to do so. The population of the Siberian tiger increased to 500 in the 1980s, however, poaching activity increased after the Soviet Union fell. There are only as many as 540 Siberian tigers left in the wild, and although the population is stable, they are still on the brink of extinction.
