What should you do if a tiger is chasing you?
Mountain lions have been known to attack humans and are potentially deadly.
* mountain lions are ambush hunters and may be reluctant to attack if confronted. If your an adult person a stare-down maybe in order. * Throw things at it, act aggressive yourself. Rocks are a good choice. * If you are in a group don't scatter. This is the lion's first objective - to separate out the weakest member. Yell, scream, throw things at it. Open up your coat and try to make yourself appear bigger. * If the lion does attack - do fight back.
* Most people around here carry a knife in the woods - one that is already open (not a switch-blade) an is easily and quickly drawn. Lions have been killed this way. * Bear bombs (pepper spray) is commercially available round here too.
What will happen to the tiger habitat if they are extinct?
If and when the Tigers become extinct... it will be a sad world for all... :( The habitat for tigers will see an increase in their prey such as smaller mamals and more wild life will form, and the food chain will reposition itself.
Do tigers live with other animals or by themselves?
Tigers always mark and defend their territory.
A male tiger generally has territory of up to 60 square miles, but the size depends on rival tigers and the availability of food. Tigers scratch trees, leave droppings and leave scent markings to define the boundary. These territory markings tell other tigers the size and gender of the tiger living there.Tigers prefer to hunt alone, that way they can rely on their own hunting skills to get enough nourishment. Even though they hunt by themselves, they will usually share their food with others. Tigers are most likely to hunt in the late afternoon to nighttime. Tigers usually hunt large prey. They will hunt wild pigs and deer, also small prey like monkeys and frogs. Hunting is hard work. A tiger may stalk 20 animals, before it finally catches one. But then the tiger rests for a few days, because tigers only have to hunt about once a week.
You may think that tigers can run for a long period of time, but the fact is tigers are not built for long-distance running. Most of their prey can out run them. The way they attack their prey is first, they'll camouflage themselves in bushes or grass then, sneak up on the prey with its belly dragging on the grass. Finally, they'll attack with a burst of power and speed. The animal's dead body is called a carcass.

1% because if 10% moves on to each level, and 10% was passed on to the first level consumers, 10% divided by 10% equals 0.01 which is equivalent to 1%, so 1% of the original energy used by plants is passed on to second level consumers. :)
How far the tiger roar can be heard?
Tigers can roar at about 114 decibels at 83 to 248 hertz. This is 25 times louder than a lawn mower. Their vocal cords are square and the fatty tissues in their throats help amplify their roar.
