What do tigers have in common with other big cats?

Domestic cats aren't all that different from big cats such as lions. They have exactly the same type of teeth that is perfect for tearing and rendering flesh and crunching up bone. Pet cats - like their wild cousins, get all their nutrition from meat-based proteins and fats, so feeding a pet cat food high in meat content and no grains or cereals is the best way to ensure your cat gets all the nutrition it needs.

All cats are hunters, and hunt in much the same way: Creep up to the prey as close as possible, then pounce on the prey. Cats can only run in short, explosive bursts and use their muscle power to bring down prey.

- but they are different in one way, lions and such hunt for food and hunger alone, but the house cat kills for just joy and pleasure, there has been many conflicts with this alone, you can research it your self its really fun

How do you get over someone you like that you know doesn't have any interest in you and whom you have to see at work every day?

This is exactly why office romances are very risky. If the couple should split up, they still have to work with each other or at least see each other every day and it can be heart-breaking for one of the two people. There are two things you can do. You can either try to stay out of his way as best you can (as much as your heart is breaking) and don't let him see he's getting you down. Start going out with friends and start dating again. If you are still interested in him, it's possible if you don't show you care about the split-up that much he may make an effort to get back with you. If he doesn't then consider yourself lucky and move on. Good luck hon Marcy You get over them once you like someone else..until then probably not. Try going out with friends and talking to other people you are attracted to..

The lion is a magnificent animal that appears as a symbol of power, courage and nobility on family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. Lions at one time were found from Greece through the Middle East to northern India, but today only a very small population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now confined to the sub-Saharan region.

Why are tigers being killed by human beings?

Bengal Tigers are an example of the adaptions and evolution that all animals make to the changing environments, and circumstances in which they live. To be able to study these changes continually, to measure their evolution as a species, to overall environmental pressure, and stress is of incredible value. This can be an insightful learning experience about all animals especially, top of the food chain predators, and how they adapt, and adjust to different types of stress. Considering the Bengal Tiger is the apex predators in their food chain, without their continued presences, their prey animals populations would quickly become out of balance. This would then be reflected through out all regions the Bengal Tiger had maintained hunting territory, if another top predator didn't replace them quickly. The prey animals left to live unmolested, would soon threaten their own food source, have difficulty finding food, birth populations would drop, many would sicken, and others would suffer starvation. This could be the first steps that could lead to another species becoming imperiled. The cycle would continue, for any number of new species that could become endangered. While tigers that are poached today are generally sold to the black market to be used for body parts. They are wanted for everything from their fur pelt to their teeth, claws, paws, tails, internal organs, and bones. Most of this is sold for use in the "Chinese Traditional Medicine" market. That market would apply even more pressure on the tiger species that were remaining, making their continued survival questionable. Lastly, to have any species become extinct, when it's within humanity's abilities to save, is a tragedy for future generations both socially, and scientifically. We can never truly know, what we are losing when a species slips through our fingers. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

How does the decline in the number of tigers effect food chain?

If the number of tigers drop, then the number of (for example) gazelles would increase because they are not being eaten by tigers. However, since there are more gazelles eating the same amount of grass, then there would be less grass, causing some gazelles to starve. The reduction of grass would also cause the top soil to dry out which would affect the worms. Which could possibly change the birds' diet. Which could affect the number of eggs they lay. Which could affect the number of eggs people eat. And on and on.

Who would win in a fight between an ox a tiger and a kodiak bear?

It all depends on where the fight takes place and the size and health of either animal. If the fight is in an area where the ox and bear have no means of escape, then the ox will use every tool it has (horns, hooves, muscular power, etc.) to fight off that bear. The bear may be able to swat at the ox a few times, but this will only anger it. In a small enclosure, an ox with a set of horns and some very quick reflexes will be able to keep facing the bear and try to gore as much as possible. The bear is also fast on its feet and a swipe of it's paw to the ox's muzzle may help stun it enough so the bear can close in for a bite to the throat. If that happens, then the bear wins. But that bear may die soon after if the ox has scored a hit to the heart with those horns. In that case, there are no winners nor losers.
