Knowledge of Sumatran tiger

in #tiger6 years ago

You need to know that the tiger is lion-sized but a little heavier. And different subspecies of tigers have different characteristics as well, generally male tigers weigh between 180 and 320 kg and females weigh between 120 and 180 kg. And also the male length between 2.6 and 3.3 meters, while the females between 2.3 and 2.75 meters. Among the surviving subspecies, the Sumatran tiger is the smallest and the largest Siberian tiger in the world.

And Pupil is a round tiger, not like a cat pupil that looks like a straight line during the day. By their means, in fact they are not nocturnal animals, or hunters at night. And they usually hunt in the morning and evening. Although night vision is not as good as a cat, but about 6 times better than human vision and has the same vision, meaning he is not color blind.

And most of the tiger's eyes are yellow. Exceptions on white tigers have blue eyes, this is related to eye genes adjusting genes in white fur.

And their hind legs and claws are also very strong. So a single swipe can destroy a bear's skull.

Like cats, tiger memory is also very powerful. Short-term memory alone can be 30 times stronger than humans, and hundreds of times more than chimpanzees. So, the tiger does not easily forget the things that happen to him.

The brain weighs about 300 grams of tiger. And this is the biggest brain of all carnivores except polar bears, and is comparable to the size of chimpanzee brain.

The tiger has an antiseptic saliva. When it's wounded, a tiger need only to lick wounds as the saliva acts as a disinfectant. Tiger tongue has fleshy feathers, so that when bathing and licking the body then indirectly as well as combing their feathers to be neat back.

This animal is a smart animal to adapt when hunting. And usually they bite the neck so fast prey to die. However, when swimming in the river and meet crocodiles, the tiger can match the eyes of the reptile until blind and turned around so it can remove the entrails of crocodiles. This is because the crocodile's belly is softest, and it is impossible to bite the crocodile's neck that is protected by thick skin.

And maybe only one in ten successful hunt for a tiger. So usually they go a few days without eating before finally successfully find prey to eat.

In fact, he is an animal that is not strong enough to resist hunger (probably because of the size of their body). But they will die of starvation in just 2-3 weeks.

Tigers often hunt themselves, except to catch a big animal and then do an ambush with her flock and also including animals who like to ambush, he will also attack if felt threatened.

So, according to the above data a bit much can be used to be able to know the dangerous tiger in the wild. And in essence, we can say the king in his group and hopefully their populations can continue to be preserved and can be developed for the wildlife world.
