Did you know that tigers are sensitive to heat...that's why they never live too far from water so they can swim and cool down...that's their brand of sunscreen!
Might i add that they are perfect swimmers!
Tiger's live in both tropical and temperate forests as well as in swamps. They live in places that have tall grass, trees and bushes as they require shelter from the sun as well as to camouflage from potential prey. These surrounding also helps protect the female tiger and her cubs. I guess now you can see why tiger's need their habitat intact!
Tigers that live in cold areas are usually bigger and heavier than those that live in tropical habitats...of course the same way polar bears are heavy weights against their brother's the grizzly bears!
Asia is home to these lovable creatures ranging from India, the lower parts of the Himalayas, the mangrove swamps of West Bengal and the dense vegetation in the Far East. Tigers, despite their high adaptability are slowly running out of time...they were made to roam their lands and this is why humans encroaching their lands gives them few options.
That's why we need to support parks and natural reserves that are the 'safe haven' of several tigers. These parks in Africa, Europe and America help to protect and conserve them and therefore help to create awareness about these magnificent creatures.
This article is dedicated to the brave men and women in the forefront of championing programmes that help keep our tigers safe to live another day!
