Why does the world need tigers?
tigers are predators. this means that they help stabilize the number of preys such as the herbivores which tigers usually eat. if there were no tigers perhaps herbivores would become dominant and there will be imbalance in nature because they usually eat all the trees and grasses
That's what I was wondering to.
It most probably a red velvet ant- which is not an ant at all- it is actually a wingless wasp.
Red velvet ants are predators, hunting other insects, especially bees, and infecting their victims bodies or nests with their parasitic eggs.
They are a particularly aggressive species and can deliver a powerful and painful sting- this is how they got the nickname Cow Killer! Note that the female is wingless while the male has dark wings.
They are not poisonous or deadly (unless you are allergic) so no worries.
If you see them- turn around and walk the other way fast, they probably won't bother you if you leave them alone.
if you have an infestation call an exterminator.
Which has a greater bite force tiger or Sabre tooth tiger?
my answer will surprise you.
well the name is saber tooth cat(smilodon) and they had a very long canines(7 inches) and they had weight consider to be (they were so robust that scientists calls them''a lion on steroids'') as much as today's largest cat in the world the Siberian tiger.
consider the bite forces i may say that it get not even close to a real compression because the saber tooth cat has a bite force that it was close to 160 kg(close to 360 psi) because the canines interrupts is ability to swing is jaws sideways(every predator today have this ability) but if the smilodon used to this movement probably it shattered is canines (the canines used to kill is prey by delivering those long and sharp canines to the neck of is prey and it wasn't using a powerful bite to do so only a accuracy in delivering the bite),unlike the tiger that using is powerful bite to suffocate and breaking the windpipe or the spinal chord of is prey and exerting a bite that is over 1,000 psi(more than a 450 kg).
in my opinion the winner of this compression is the tiger.
Baby tigers are born with stripes, its on there skin! the fur grows to the colour of the skin underneath
A tiger's skin is marked with stripes, not the fur. Therefore, yes. Tigers are born with stripes. The fur just grows in as the color of the skin underneath. If you shave all the fur off of a tiger, you will still see stripes.
Why do tigers live in the Savannah?
Savannah has a much wider definition than most people are aware of. There are many regions around the world that include Savannah as part of the wider biome. Some Bengal tiger populations live in Savannah ecosystems located within a wider ecoregion. An example of one such ecoregion is Chitwan National Park - Nepal. This ecoregion is home to less than 200 individual tigers and is comprised of several ecosystems - one being Savannah.
The Savannah is just one of several ecosystems that the tiger as a species occupies.

What do tigers eat when their hungry?
In the wild, tigers mostly feed on larger and medium sized animals. Sambar, gaur, chital, barasingha, wild boar, nilgai and both water buffalo and domestic buffalo are the tiger's favoured prey in India. Sometimes, they also prey on leopards, pythons, sloth bears and crocodiles. In Siberia the main prey species are manchurian wapiti, wild boar, sika deer, moose, roe deer, and musk deer. In Sumatra Sambar, muntjac, wild boar, and malayan tapir are preyed on. In the former Caspian tiger's range, prey included saiga antelope, camels, caucasian wisent, yak, and wild horses. Like many predators, they are opportunistic and will eat much smaller prey, such as monkeys, peafowls, hares, and fish.
Adult elephants are too large to serve as common prey, but conflicts between tigers and elephants do sometimes take place. A case where a tiger killed an adult Indian Rhinoceros has been observed.[57] Young elephant and rhino calves are occasionally taken. Tigers also sometimes prey on domestic animals such as dogs, cows, horses, and donkeys. These individuals are termed cattle-lifters or cattle-killers in contrast to typical game-killers.[58]
Old tigers, or those wounded and rendered incapable of catching their natural prey, have turned into man-eaters; this pattern has recurred frequently across India. An exceptional case is that of the Sundarbans, where healthy tigers prey upon fishermen and villagers in search of forest produce, humans thereby forming a minor part of the tiger's diet.[59] Tigers will occasionally eat vegetation for dietary fiber, the fruit of the Slow Match Tree being favoured.[58] Tigers' extremely strong jaws and sharp teeth make them superb predators.
Tigers usually hunt at night.[60] They generally hunt alone and ambush their prey as most other cats do, overpowering them from any angle, using their body size and strength to knock large prey off balance. Even with their great masses, tigers can reach speeds of about 49-65 kilometres per hour (35-40 miles per hour), although they can only do so in short bursts, since they have relatively little stamina; consequently, tigers must be relatively close to their prey before they break their cover. Tigers have great leaping ability; horizontal leaps of up to 10 metres have been reported, although leaps of around half this amount are more typical. However, only one in twenty hunts ends in a successful kill.[60]
When hunting large prey, tigers prefer to bite the throat and use their forelimbs to hold onto the prey, bringing it to the ground. The tiger remains latched onto the neck until its prey dies of strangulation.[61] By this method, gaurs and water buffalos weighing over a ton have been killed by tigers weighing about a sixth as much.[62] With small prey, the tiger bites the nape, often breaking the spinal cord, piercing the windpipe, or severing the jugular vein or common carotid artery.[63] Though rarely observed, some tigers have been recorded to kill prey by swiping with their paws, which are powerful enough to smash the skulls of domestic cattle,[58] and break the backs of sloth bears.[64]
During the 1980s, a tiger named "Genghis" in Ranthambhore National Park was observed frequently hunting prey through deep lake water,[65] a pattern of behaviour that had not been previously witnessed in over 200 years of observations. Moreover, he appeared to be extraordinarily successful for a tiger, with as many as 20% of hunts ending in a kill.
How can people help protect tigers?
Tigers are threatened by deforestation and poaching. To protect them from deforestation, it is important to avoid purchasing wood products, especially rainforest woods, and paper products that do not have the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) symbol on them (because if they don't have the symbol, the odds are that the wood was NOT sustainably harvested, and contributed to deforestation). Also, don't buy products that contain palm oil, because palm oil plantations are one of the major causes of deforestation in Southeast Asia, where many tigers live. To protect them from poaching, donate, if you can, to an organization such as the World Wildlife Fund, that actively searches for poachers in tigers' native habitats.
Does a lama live in the jungle?
there are no llamas living in the jungle, they live in the Andes mountains in South America.
Tigers are the biggest big cats, and are very endangered because the number of people who illegally hunt them for their rare, beautiful, expensive fur, people who kill them because they killed their cattle, or because of humans that are destroying their habitat by tearing down trees. There are many different kinds of tigers, which live in Asia or Europe. They have red or orange fur with black stripes. The biggest kind of tiger is the Siberian tiger, which can stand at 4.5 ft at the shoulder at maximum height. They hunt deer and elk, sometimes birds and even humans. They stalk their prey and use ambush to hunt, even though the powerful creature can run to 38 mph even for its bulk. And it will even swim to cool off. They don't mate for life, and will mate lots of times with several different males in its life time. They usually have two to four cubs, and the cubs leave to find territories of their own as soon as they learn to hunt. males have vast territories, driving intruders out and sometimes fighting for a territory mate with other males. Tigers can even be white, although it is extremely rare.
