It looks a lot like a house cat's tongue, just a lot bigger.
Tiger's have barbed tongues just like domestic cats do, and they groom in exactly the same way. The barbs help to remove dirt and debris from the fur. These barbs are called papillae and also work to remove meat from a kill. The tongue is so rough that it can clean all traces of meat off a kill.

Do tigers eat more or less than lions?
Well obviously people like lions more because they are are the king and stronger, faster, and more beautiful animals also they are more proud then tigers and have a much louder roar, even sientist say they are more atractive to humans. And by the way they are also the kings. Lions stay together but tigers dont. So there is you answer.
In a recent poll taken by Animal Planet Network, the tiger was the world's favorite animal. Lions placed 9th on the list.
And, both Bengal and Siberian subspecies of the tiger average larger than the African lion. The lion did evolve a somewhat louder roar, mainly because of the flat environment of savannahs where they are found would make it easier to rally the pride and intimidate interlopers.
In battles between the two in captivity, tigers win more often than lions, and, there is evidence that the tiger, which arrived in India later than lions historically, may have contained the Asiatic lion's spread eastward.
How do tigers move about in their habitats?
The tiger challenges the current occupied tiger to a fight.The one who wins gets the territory and the female.Now if the female already has children, the tiger kills the children in order to make sure that the female gives birth to his own children.The challenger first examines the territory before challenging.If it has water,food and shelter,then he challenges him.If it doesn't have food, water and shelter,he leaves and looks for others.

The earliest found remains of tigers come from China and they are dated at more than 2 million years old. These early fossil remains indicate that the tiger was much smaller then than it is today. However, it is strongly believed that the tiger is related to the Saber Tooth from about 35 million years ago. They evolved into some subspecies about 25 million years ago and that is where the tiger fits in. Tigers shared a common ancestor with snow leopards that lived about 840,000 years ago.

How day and night manifest themselves?
Clearly, when you see the Sun shining in the sky, it is day, and when you don't it is night. So the real question is "why is the Sun in the sky at some times and not at others?" We can see that the Sun seems to move across the sky starting in the east in the morning, moving toward the south at noon, and then toward the west as the day ends. How does this happen?
Long ago, people believed many weird things about the Sun and how it traveled across the sky. The ancient Greeks believed that the Sun rode across the sky in a chariot drawn by four white horses driven by the god Heleius! These days, we know that the Sun appears to move across the sky because the Earth rotates on its axis.
So how does the turning of the Earth lead to the Sun's motion across the sky? It is easy to see this if you shine a bright light on the side of a globe in a darkened room. Find where you live on the globe. Now slowly spin the globe on its axis so that if you look down on the north pole, it is rotating counterclockwise. Watch what happens to the place where you live. Do you see that it is sometimes pointed toward the light (which represents the Sun) and sometimes away from the light? Hey, you've made day and night!
When where you are is pointed toward the Sun, it is day. Then the Earth rotates you away from the Sun, and it is night.
So, how fast does the Earth have to rotate in order to make one complete spin in 24 hours? At the equator, the Earth is rotating at a speed of about about 2200 kilometers per hour. Good thing we human beings can't feel this motion!
How long does a tiger cub stay with its father?
The mother will nurse the cubs for 3-6 months. The cubs will then begin to accompany the mother on hunting expeditions and may remain with her until they are about 2 years of age when they are mature enough to hunt on their own.
A wolf pack will surround it's prey (usually the old, young and sick). They will target the neck and the hindquarters of the prey. Once the hindquarters are severed the prey has lost. It has been crippled and can no longer defend itself. They will then rip out the neck and eat.
(It does not Make sense)
They bite and bite and they don't stop until they're dead.
Both animals are just as dangerous as the other, particularly if one does not understand each animal's behaviour when they are threatening or warning you to either stay away or get out of the way.
