First, let's see where the tiger lives.Universally accepted that the birthplace of these wild cats is Southeast Asia.From there, they settled further north, reaching the edge of the Ussuri and Amur region.But their natural habitat is not confined to the Far East.Once upon a time lived and tigers across India, on the islands of Sumatra, Bali, Java and the islands of the Malay Archipelago. eternal wanderer
In the narrow sense, the question of where the tiger lives, is difficult to answer.The fact that this eternal wanderer.Even if he will mark the territory, it is not for long, a couple of weeks he goes to other places where you can profit.
Hunting sacrifice
predator on the hunt out in the evening, only in rare cases, if the animal terribly hungry, it hunts during the day.Because of its peculiar color tiger it seems to be very bright, but in fact, orange with black stripes skin - is a very good camouflage for hunting in the "field".His favorite mode of attack on its prey - a lightning leap from the thick bushes.Here's the predator and comes in handy protective coloration, masking it.Tiger sneaks up close and virtually jerk catches the victim, biting her in the throat or neck by breaking his legs powerful blow.Of course, the victim has no chance to survive.One of its deadliest blow paw predator easy to kill a bear or a horse!Horror simple!It is interesting that during the attack he does not emit any sounds.
It should be added that the tiger - a lone hunter, and even if he is hunting with a female, it takes a "partnership" is not more than a week, after which they disagree with the world.
Menu tiger
Generally it is an omnivore.If the predator is very hungry, it is ready to eat literally everything that comes his way, but his final diet depends on where the tiger lives.His victims are domestic cows, wild oxen, deer, buffalo, bears, wild boars, lynxes, monkeys, crabs, wolves, different fish, snakes, mice, frogs, and even grasshoppers with grass.The "lean year" tiger can eat earth and tree bark.Seen cases where the victims of the tiger became crocodiles, pythons and leopards!If the predator starved completely, it becomes prey to their own colleagues.Very rarely, but still occur, and man-eating tigers!
Progeny
tiger cubs are born blind and helpless at all (though, like all cats).Not later than 11 months they are capable of independent hunting.Almost two years cubs live with their mother and then leave, "parental home", becoming solitary hunters.So if you meet a number of the murdered victim three or four tigers - do not think that they violated their own principles and began to hunt in packs.It's just a mother and her young tiger.Photos - proof. extinction of species
Lifetime tigers - from 15 to 20 years.Today it is an endangered species of animals.They are taken under protection worldwide.For example, a Siberian tiger, better known as the Amur, listed as endangered, as is on the verge of extinction.For the territory of the Russian Federation - in the wild - Siberian (Amur) tigers, unfortunately, no longer exists.We note that in India these animals there are only two thousand individuals, while more recently it was more than twenty thousand.In Sumatra, Bali and Java because of hunting predator they disappeared altogether.
Fortunately, today there are still places where the tiger lives.But the territory of their habitat reduced extinction as the striped predators ... Will generally save tigers from extinction - the big question.Everything is in our hands!
