So, here are a few more facts on the tiger...
The scientific name for the tiger is Panthera tigris. There are currently 5 sub-species of the tiger; Bengal, South China, Indochinese, Sumatran, and Siberian. Three subspecies of the tiger; the Caspian, Bali, and Javan are sadly extinct.
On a lighter note, here's something most of you might not know about tigers...there are no tigers with identical markings! Interesting, right? Yeah, the same way each of us is unique, is the same way tigers are unique in their identity.
Now, we previously talked about how much tigers eat in one sitting, but something more interesting is they can take days till they finish, always covering their food with leaves and dirt and returning to eat till its finished! Talk about table manners...!
Tigers are not choosy animals, they eat both small and large animals ranging from turtles and frogs, as well as the buffalo and large deer. I guess that's why they can survive in captivity for up to 26 years!
There are several other interesting facts about tigers that if we actually take time to know about, we will all be at the lead in conserving them.
