What animals ate the saber-toothed tiger?
Saber toothed cats were apex predators, which means that nothing would have hunted adults. However, a vulnerable cub could have been killed for food by another large predator (in America, that could have included American lions or wolves, and in Europe that would have included hyenas).
What is the lifespan of Panthera tigris?
16 years on average in the wild. Some may live to be older; I knew a domesticated (a tiger saved from a circus) tiger lived to be 21.
How do tigers affect change in the environment?
One effect is they aid in keeping the population of herding animals thinned and healthy. There are two ways in which they do this. Firstly, they pick off sickly or injured animals. Secondly, they prevent overpopulation. When a species becomes overpopulated they can begin running into problems such as starvation.
What is the percentage of the endangered tigers?

Tigers are solitary predators. They live and hunt alone for most of the time. During mating season tigers can be found along with their mating partner. Apart from the mating season, male tigers don't tolerate the presence of other males in their territory. Female tigers can be spotted with one or more cubs when she is rearing them. After the cubs mature, they go their own way and continue living alone.
All cats (big or small) are obligate carnivores (they must eat meat or die).
According to Wikipedia, the blue tiger is mostly reported as being sited in the Fujian province of China.

(Quoted from Indian Tiger Welfare Society)
A tiger will pounce on a rabbit if the rabbit gets near it. If the tiger is hungry or the rabbit has threatened the tiger or its family in any way, the tiger will pounce.
You are describing a Bold Jumping spider. Very common from the great plains to the east coast. Note the adults have white spots while the juveniles have the orange spots. Most easily Identified by the green/blue iridescent fangs or chelicerae. They are quite harmless, rarely bite humans and if they do, It only leave a slight redness and irritation.
How does a tiger protect himself from enemies?
The Bengal Tiger is very large and powerful and rarely needs to defend itself against anything other than humans, which have guns making self defence futile on the Tigers part. (In other situations the Tigers powerful jaws and sharp teeth make it a force to be reckoned with, not to mention it razor sharp claws attached to paws powerful enough to kill a man with a swift blow to the head.) If all of this somehow failed to defend the Tiger then it could try to evade harm by using its speed to run or agility to climb a tree to get out of harms way.
How many types of tigers are there in africa?
There are no types of tigers native to Africa, although there are some that are kept in zoos. All tiger subspecies are native to Asia. In the past, they ranged from the Caucasas Mountains to India, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, Java, China, and Russia, but today the range of tigers has been greatly diminished, and only exists in small, scattered pockets of India, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, and one place in Eastern Russia/Northeastern China.
Additionally, the South China Tiger is the most endangered subspecies of tiger. A program called Save China's Tigers is working to take captive South China tigers and rewild them; that is, teach them how to survive in the wild. It is doing so by slowly introducing them to a fenced off reserve in South Africa created from overgrazed sheep farms specifically for this purpose. The program has been quite successful at breeding these tigers and training them how to live in the wild. In fact, 15 of the fewer than 100 South China tigers alive today live at this wildlife reserve in South Africa.
When did the Malayan Tapir become endangered?
Malayan Tapirs live in the areas of Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sumatra. They usually stay near streams and swamps of the rainforest. This species of tapirs has a black and white body. They are the closest relatives of the horses, and rhinoceroses. Malayan Tapirs have a snout that looks like a short elephant trunk. The trunk is used to smell and push food into the mouth. They are really shy. When they sense danger, the tapir quickly run away to find safety. The tapirs usually live alone or in pair. Measuring from ground up to shoulder, the tapirs are about 34 - 42 inches (86.4 - 108.7cm) tall. They weigh between 550 - 660 pounds (249.5 - 299.4kg). The average life span is 30 years. Females can produce every 18 months an infant. The average gestation period is between 390 - 395 days. Since they live in the forest and around streams, the Malayan Tapirs eat grass, aquatic vegetation, leaves, buds, and twigs. They also like fruits of low standing shrubs. Now the Malayan Tapirs are endangered because of the loss of habitat. People cut down forests for timber and agricultural use. Thus the tapirs have no place to hide when poachers pursuit them. The local people also hunt them down for leather and meat. Fortunately, government of Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia passed laws to ban people from hurting these creatures. The only thing now is to enforce these laws.
yes
Of course should save the Rhino! a world without Rhinos is no world I wish to live in. Look at the change the world went through after the DoDo bird became extinct, more wars and disease and famine. Much not traceable to the extinction mostly inferred and formulated for this single question. Rhinos they are a unique and treasured animal they also are the only animal with a horn like that on their face so losing them completely is not a good thing, we would be forced to only see them in pictures and old wild life specials and what fun is that I ask you?
Are tigers prey predator or both?
Both, people have been hunting tigers for hundreds of years, and tigers have been killing people for hundreds of years. I think that if you were to put humans on one side and tigers on the other you would find that there are less tigers because people hunt them because of fear.
WELL tigers are actually hunter and prey
Why is it wrong to keep a tiger in captivity?
THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE!!!
do not delete answers, just add on please.
i think tigers should be kept in captivity because they have a safe place to live and have few to none risk's of being harmed. they get supplied water, food, and the love from the zoo keeper's or nature preserves they live in. therefor, i think tigers SHOULD be kept in captivity. my theory has come to a end.

What biomes does golden tabby tiger live?
This type of rare tiger is only found in captivity. The coloring is a result of a recessive gene, and sometimes the Golden Tabby is also called the Strawberry Tiger. These types of tigers have a Bengal parentage, but generally have Amur tiger in their lineage somewhere. This type of tiger has been in existence as far back as the early 1900s, and their occurrence is strangely tied to areas with a heavy concentration of clay in the soil. There are less than 30 of these tigers known in existence.
They are endangered.
