What is sound of tiger called?

Tigers make lots of sounds. They growl, snarl, roar, whoof, miaow, chuff, and they also do something called pooking. This is a loud, clear, flat call, which some people think is the tiger's attempt to mimic a type of deer that is often the tiger's prey. They think the tiger makes this sound to try to fool the deer into thinking that one of its own is close by, when really, it's a tiger in disguise.

What is the features of project tiger?

Project Tiger was launched by the Indian Government in 1973-74. The aim of the project was to control as well as supplement the dwindling population of the Royal Bengal tigers in the country. Under the Project Tiger of India, specially constituted tiger reserves are being set up, which are sought to be replicas of the various bio-geographical regions of the country. The core areas of the reserves are made free of any human settlement, while the buffer areas are dedicated to 'conservation oriented' land use. In the beginning of the 1970s, once tiger hunting had officially been banned in India, a tiger count was done across the entire country. This lead to the astonishing discovery that only 1800 specimens of this magnificent animal were left. This jolted the concerned authorities and some serious thought went into devising plans to save the tiger. The result was the launch of "Project Tiger" in 1972 at the Dhikala Forest Rest House in Corbett National Park. The main idea behind the project was to provide safe havens for tigers where they could flourish as a species and hopefully reverse the startling decline in their population. Project Tiger was a pet project of Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India. The main achievements of this project are excellent recovery of the habitat and consequent increase in the tiger population in the reserve areas, from a mere 268 in 9 reserves in 1972 to above one thousand in 28 reserves in 2006. Tigers, being at the apex of the food chain, can be considered as the indicator of the integrity of the ecosystem. Thus, 'Project Tiger' is basically the conservation of the entire ecosystem and apart from tigers, all other wild animals' population have also increased in the project areas.

Does all bones look the same?

There are four main types of bones: long, short, flat, and irregular. Long bones have greater length than width and consists of a shaft and a variable number of ends. They are usually somewhat curved for strength. Long bones include those in the thigh (femur), leg (tibia and fibula), arm (humerus), forearm (ulna and radius), and fingers and toes (phalanges). Short bones are somewhat cube-shaped and nearly equal in length and width. Examples of short bones include most ankle and wrist bones. Flat bones are generally thin, afford considerable protection and provide extensive surfaces for muscle attachment. Bones classified as flat bones include the cranial bones, which protect the brain; the sternum (breastbone) and ribs, which protect organs in the thorax; and the scapulae (shoulder blades). Irregular bones have complex shapes and cannot be grouped into any of the previous categories. such bones include the vertebrae of the backbone and some facial bones.

What will happen if tigers vanish from forest?

There will be a drastic imbalance of herbivorous animals, to the point that the plant life will not be able to support such large numbers of animals. These prey animals will also become more complacent, and will even start to compete with humans for plant resources, coming onto farms and raiding crops.

Pretty much what will happen to the forests and animals if the tiger disappeared will be the same thing that happened when wolves were exterminated from Yellowstone National Park many years ago before a number of wolves from Canada were moved to Yellowstone to help start to control the elk and bison populations.

What do tigers and cheetahs eat in common?

Cheetahs and pumas are both large predators that are big cats and they both use stealth to sneak up on their prey. This is where the similarities end though. The cheetah lives in the African Savannah and has a smaller, slimmer build that is built for speed. It has a yellow-gold coloring covered in rosettes (spots). After stalking its prey it uses a burst of speed to bring it down and often take the kill up a tree to keep other predators from getting it. The puma or cougar is common in the United States is a little larger. It's coloring can be anywhere from a golden color to black. It uses a surprise attack that often the prey doesn't see until its too late to run. Though they do not usually take a kill up a tree they will bury it in leaves to hide it so they can come back to it later.

What kind of gun can kill a tiger?

Most firearms can kill, especially with a well-placed round.

The 10mm is a powerful round and would likely kill a tiger with a few shots, possibly one really good shot. However, oftentimes death is not immediate. So if a tiger were attacking a person who shot it with a 10mm, the tiger could continue its attack even though the wound will eventually kill the tiger.

A fatal shot to the chest, abdomen or leg (severing an artery) would cause the tiger to exsanguinate (bleed out). This could take several minutes, or longer, during which time, Mr. Tiger could be munching you for his last dinner.

A shot to the head, that penetrated the skull would likely incapacitate the tiger until it bled out.

Short answer, yeah..., sure.
