Tigers are easy to recognize. They typically have rusty-reddishto brown-rusty coats, a whitish medial and ventral area, a white "fringe" that surrounds the face, and stripes that vary from brown or gray to pure black. The form and density of stripes differsbetween subspecies (as well as the ground coloration of the fur; for instance, Siberian tigers are usually paler than other tiger subspecies), but most tigers have over 100 stripes.
In the wild, tigersmostly feed on larger and medium sized animals. Sambar, gaur, chital, barasingha, wild boar, nilgai and both water buffalo and domestic buffalo are the tiger's favored prey in India. Sometimes, theyalso prey on leopards, pythons, sloth bears and crocodiles…UF! Why do they eat a lot of weird animals that I don’t even know!?
THEY ALSO EAT PEOPLE
Interesting facts: In a poll conducted by AnimalPlanet, the tiger was voted the world's favourite animal, narrowly beating the dog. More than 50,000 viewers from 73 countries voted in the poll. Tigers received 21% of the vote, dogs 20%, dolphins13%, horses 10%, lions 9%, snakes 8%, followed by elephants, chimpanzees, orangutans and whales…TIGERS ROCKS!
