Tiger

Tigers hunt mostly at dusk and dawn their stripes help them hide in the shadows of tall grasses. They stalk and pounce because they are not able to chase prey a long distance. The territorial male tiger usually travels alone, marking his boundaries with urine, droppings, and scratch marks to warn off trespassers. A tiger can consume as much as 40 kg (88 lbs.) of meat in one feeding. Tigers may drag their prey to water to eat. They are commonly seen in the shade or wading in pools to cool off. Since white tigers have pigmented stripes and blue eyes, they are not albinos. It is estimated that there are less than 3,000 Bengal tigers left in the wild.
