Is a tiger in the cat family or dog family?
Yes. A tiger, also known as Felis tigris is a very big and carnivorous feline (cat) mammal.
They belong to the Felidae family (also meaning cat). In appearance they have a light brown to brownish orange (and sometimes white)coat with crosswise (from side to side) black stripes. There were atleast eight subspecies that I know of.
Three of which have been extinct since the early 1900s - 1960.
The only five subspecies that are not extinct are the: # Bengal Tiger (Panthera t. tigris) # Amur Tiger (Panthera t. altaica) # South China Tiger (Panthera t. amoyensis) # Sumatran Tiger (Panthera t. sumatrae) # Indo-Chinese Tiger (Panthera t. corbetti)

Yes, Bengal Tigers can swim. Bengal Tigers are one of the very few big cats that like to swim to cool off. Another cat that likes water is the fishing cat. Fishing cats usually stay on the bank of water,although they will sometimes go into shallow water to fish.
Tigers are pure carnivores. They prefer hunting large ungulates such as chital, sambar, gaur, and to a small extent also barasingha, water buffalo, nilgai, serow and takin. Among the medium-sized prey species they frequently kill wild boar, and occasionally hog deer, muntjac and Gray langur. Small prey species such as porcupines, hares and peafowl are also hunted and form a very small part in their diet. Sometimes, they also prey on domestic livestock too that wander off into the jungles
They stay hidden and move near the unsuspecting prey. Once they are near enough, they pounce and take the prey down. They go for the throat and strangulate their prey.
Animals that hibernate and migrate?
Some well known mammals that hibernate are bears, bats and ground squirrels.
Reptiles such as snakes, turtles and frogs also hibernate, but this differs from traditional hibernation because the metabolic processes are different. It is called brumation, and just means the reptile is less active, or slow. They still need to take in water and are not fully "sleeping". Hibernating slows down their bodily functions such as digestion and heartbeat, as well as their metabolism, or how they turn food and fats into energy so that they can go a whole season without eating. In order to prepare for this, the animal usually will gorge itself to build up a store of fats and eat fibrous things such as grass, tree bark, hair, etc., to for a plug in their bowels and prevent them from messing themselves during hibernation.
How many stages of life cycle does a tiger have?
# Life Cycle:
Tigers are usually solitary except for mothers with cubs. The breeding season is November through April. Females usually give birth once every 2 or 3 years, but if a litter is lost, they may give birth again in as little as 5 months. The gestation period lasts from 93-111 days, and up to 6 cubs can be born in a litter. Most litters include 3 cubs. The cubs are born in a cave or rocky crevice, or in thick vegetation. They begin to hunt with their mother when they are 5 or 6 months old. When they are 11 months old, they can usually make a kill by themselves. They will stay with their mothers for two years (sometimes three), and will reach adulthood when they are 3-5 years old one fact tigers or good simmer

How do lions and tigers coexist in India?
I have read a lot of nonsense answers on this question. Lions and tigers are found in India, but they do not co-exist. There are approx 400+ Asiatic Lions to be found only in the Western stats of Gujarat in a particular national park called Gir. There are no tigers in this national park. The Bengal Tiger now numbers approx. 3000 in the 2018 census in over 50 natioanl parks across India, but no where do the two species co-exist. A fully grown male tiger can weigh up to a third more in weight than the equivalent lion.
