Tigers
Tigers are the largest natural species of cat in the world, and are native to Asia. The characteristic orange and black stripes are unique to each tiger and the beauty and majesty of this animal has been depicted in pictures and stories from many different cultures throughout history. Tigers are critically endangered as they are sold as pets illegally, hunted for sport and used in Chinese medicine.

Does a bear hibernate or migrate?
Usually slow, but can be fast too. Can walk on hind legs for a short period of time.
What kind of consumer is a tiger?
Its a Nice question the answer is that they are Quaternary consumer because they eat tertiary consumers like hawk.
Which of these animals would win in these animal fights?
Well it all depends, if you're talking about a fight in water, I would say the great white. However if you're talking about a fight on land, I would have to say the polar bear just because of it's size and power. This question is tough because it's hard to dertemine the strengths and weaknesses. For example where is this fight taking place? If it's on a open grass area, i would probably change my answer to a lion or tiger. If it's taking place in the jungle then probably a stealth animal like a bear. In my opinion out of every animal, I would have to say the polar bear. Hope i helped.
What do tiger eats AND who eats him?
Well an adult male will eat a baby tiger cub but that is it. No other type of tigers will eat their own kind unless it is a baby.
What waste products do tigers produce?
Probably the same as humans - CO2 and methane gas (through their excrement).
What do we do to protect the tigers?
Laws are being put in place by many countries around the world prohibiting poachers from hunting tigers. Also, zoos are making efforts to help boost the tiger population by trying to breed those in captivity.
What is the origin of the word language?
There are two major physiological adaptions that provide indications whether early hominids had the power of speech. The first is the location of the larynx and the second is the shape of the brain, indicated by the skull cavity.
Vocal apparatusIn all mammals other than humans, the larynx is located high in the throat, enabling the individual to drink and breath at the same time. In adult humans, the larynx is located lower in the throat, creating a large sound-chamber, the pharynx, above the vocal cords. Jeffrey Laitman, Philip Lieberman and Edmund Crelin demonstrated that the expanded pharynx is the key to producing fuIIy articulate speech. In new-born babies, the larynx is located high in the throat, enabling the baby to suckle and breath simultaneously; the larynx begins to descend after about eighteen months.The soft tissues of the vocal apparatus do not fossilise, but the bottom of the skull, or basicranium, can be used to indicate the vocal anatomy. In a survey of human fossils, Laitman discovered that the basicrania of the australopithecines were essentially flat, meaning that they would have been unable to produce some of the universal vowel sounds of human speech patterns. He calculated that the position of the larynx in an early Homo erectus specimen, dating from almost 2 million years ago, would have been equivalent to that in a modern six year old. According to this analysis, his Homo erectus individual would have had the ability to produce some vowels such as in boot, father, and feet. We do NT know whether Homo erectus had a degree of spoken language, but several lines of evidence suggest this.
The earliest known fossil with a fuIly flexed basicranium was about 300,000 to 400,000 years ago, in what people call archaic Homo sapiens.
Broca's area of the brainThere also appear to be many language-related areas, scattered throughout several regions of the human brain. One brain feature related in some fashion both to language and to the use of tools is visible on the surface of the brain, Broca's area - a raised lump located near the left temple in most people. Evidence of Broca's area in fossil human brains would be evidence, although inconclusive, of emerging language ability. Ralph Holloway examined the shape of the brain of a Homo habilis skull, determined to be around 2 million years old, and not only detected evidence of Broca's area on the inner surface of the cranium, but also a slight asymmetry in the left-right configuration of the brain, an indication that Homo habilis communicated with speech. ConclusionOn this evidence, speech originated with our Homo habilisancestors, who lived from around two million years ago to around one and a half million years ago.What are some of the products made from tiger's fur or any other parts of its body?
e.g are medicines from the other pars of the body and from the fur is coat
Do they also wild animal eat humans?
The carnivorous wild animal eat humans but there is wild animal that doesn't eat human such as a wild horse.
What signals animals to hibernate?
when it gets cold out (winter season). They may also respond to decreasing amounts of sunlight as the days shorten.
How does the tiger interact with living and nonliving?
Generally, snow tigers are very shy and reclusive creatures. They prefer to show themselves only during the hours of dusk and dawn and avoid anything that isn't considered food.
Arebobcats threatened endangered or extinct?
The Mexican bobcat is currently threatened, and the ones around New Jersey have a group trying to trap, tag and radio-collar bobcats in their area. Check out the related links below for more information:
As a species, the bobcat (Lynx Rufus) is considered a species of least concern by the IUCN. Still a common animal over most of its range.
Why is the Golden Tabby Tiger in danger of becoming extinct?
There is no such tiger species as the "golden tabby".
The golden tabby tiger is actually a Bengal tiger with a colour variation caused by a recessive gene. White tigers, for example, are also Bengal tigers with a recessive gene, As far as we know, no "golden tabby" coloured Bengal tigers have ever appeared in the wild and have, so far, only occurred in captivity. The recessive gene appears to be a side effect of being kept in captivity. It is currently a pretty rare occurrence, however. The name "golden tabby" refers to their colour, not their species. Their species is Bengal tiger.
Bengal tigers are endangered and in danger of extinction due to illegal trophy hunters, habitat loss and hunters who wrongly believe that the Bengal tiger has some kind of medicinal benefit.

It's a good thing that humans are self-repairing and can survive in spite of doctors.
Sometimes they do. If they have just woken up, then they just can't be bothered doing anything. But, if they're y'know, fully awake, then they'll be up 4 it.
Hope it helps
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.
Do tigers blend in with trees?
A tiger's stripes provide excellent camoflage, allowing it to disappear among vegetation.
