How have tigers evolved and why?
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.
WWF - Feb 2010 reports that tigers were in crisis all over the world. With an estimated 3,200 left.

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.

Most rhinos live in Africa, where there aren't any tigers.
But there are places in Asia that has both rhinos and tigers.
Still doesn't make Rhinos a regular meal for tigers though.
An adult, healthy rhino is too big and strong for a tiger to take on. It'll try for an easier meal instead.
But a tiger might kill a rhino calf that's gotten separated from its mother, or possibly even a sick and weak adult.

How are tigers and lions both alike?
Yes they are alike in many ways. First of all, lions and tigers are both felines. They are carnivores. They are about the same size. They give birth live young. They have the same weapons, and so much more.
The two cats are very similar, as stated above. The major differences are, besides color and the lion's mane, tigers are usually heavier, and longer. Lions stand somewhat taller at the shoulder. Lions are bolder, inhabiting more open country. Tigers seem to be more intelligent, as lone hunters, they do not have the backing of the pride as lions do, and must rely on their own cunning. In conflicts betwen the two, which can only happen in captivity, the lion usually will make the tiger back down, because tigers, being the lone hunters they are, know that an injury could mean death. However, if pressed, the larger subspecies of tiger, Bengals and Siberians, are more than a match for any lion.

How do tigers use the bathroom?
Well, in the same sense as humans, no. They don't live indoors and they don't have showers. At a zoo, a zookeeper might use a water spray to help keep them clean, or they might take advantage of a rain shower in the wild to groom themselves, so there are edges of the question that could approach a yes in rare cases, but overall... no. Tigers don't shower.
