Tigers are very amazing creatures. In my story I am going to talk about their life and range in where they live. The range of a tigers territory depends on what food is available.Usually tigers territories are big, but some overlap.The ones that usually overlap is the males usually overlap several females.
Some of the main habitats of the tiger is that they like to live alone except for a mother and her cubs. They also like living alone because they can sneak up on prey much easier than a herd of tigers.Tigers usually live in steaming hot or freezing cold forests. Tigers are an endangered species; only about 5,000 to 7,400 are left in the wild. Three tiger subspecies, the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers have become extinct in the past 70 years.
The tigers diet is over much of the tiger's broad range, wild pig, wild cattle and several species of deer are its major prey. All prey are forest or grassland animals that range in size from 65 to 2,000 pounds.Typically, wild tigers fill themselves on fresh kills, and can eat as much as 40 pounds of meat at one time. The tiger will not eat again for several days.Female tigers reach maturity when they are about 3 years old, males a year or so later.
