When people mention tiger, they will think of its strong body, sharp claws and majestic appearance. Indeed, the tiger is known as the king of beasts and is a symbol of victory and strength.
In real life, the number of tigers is very small. Of the nine tiger species, four are extinct. Among the only five species of tigers left, the numbers of a few are down to double digits. But traces of jaguars and Siberian tigers can still be found in the forest, and they are still as majestic. ?
The Siberian tiger has a very beautiful coat color, with a "king"-shaped stripe on its forehead, and its long light yellow hair mixed with black stripes, which makes it look very beautiful; its strong, thick body The limbs and a pair of bright eyes make it look majestic. The Siberian tiger is a carnivore, and its most powerful weapons are its sharp claws and canine teeth. Its claws are more than ten centimeters long, can be retracted freely, and are sharper than steel knives. Even cowhide cannot resist its grasp; its canine teeth are 6 centimeters long and are indispensable "dinner knives" for tearing prey into pieces. The tigers tongue has Many sharp thorns suitable for biting. The meat pads on the toe pads and palms are as soft as sponges, making the Siberian tiger walk like a cat, silently, agile and elastic.
Almost all types of tigers have these characteristics, which are their physical advantages. Their hunting skills are also better than those of lions. They often lie still and sneak in order to make sudden attacks. Its long roar will frighten many animals to the ground, and then use methods such as pounce, lift and shear to catch them. A tigers pounce is very powerful. It can leap seven meters away, jump 2 meters high, and can knock down a deer with one palm. Its tail is like an iron rod. "One cut" can break the animals waist and legs. It also has sharp teeth and claws. When it encounters a big beast like a cow, it will jump on the back of the cow from behind, grab the head and neck, push forward and pull back; if it attacks from the front, it will grab the throat, bite and tear it, and then Strong cattle can only be slaughtered by it.
Tigers inhabit both tropical and boreal forests. They are more tolerant of cold than heat. They like to take baths and often appear among the grasses close to water. After a heavy meal, they generally prefer to rest in a quiet place. Unlike lions, tigers generally come out to look for food at dawn and dusk, but their movements are very covert.
Except for female tigers with cubs, most tigers live alone and have obvious nest areas. Female tigers usually have one litter every two to three years, and one litter usually has two cubs. As forests are dwindling, tigers, known as the "protectors of the forest," not only protectIt cannot protect the forests that are constantly being devoured by humans, and even its own survival is seriously threatened by environmental problems. At present, there are only more than 3,000 tigers in my country. ?
Due to the high value of tigers and their small numbers, it is difficult to see the majestic appearance of this "King of the Forest". At present, both the Siberian tiger and the South China tiger have been listed as first-class protected animals in our country. I believe that through the unremitting efforts of people from all walks of life, future generations will always be able to see the majestic appearance of this king of beasts - the tiger. .
