Tigers are mammals and, like most mammal species, they have FIVE main senses. Hearing: Tigers use their keen sense of hearing to help track down their prey during a hunt. Sight: In the day time a tiger's eyesight is about the same as a humans but at night it is 6 times better. They can actually determine distance very well which is crucial to their hunting. Smell: Tigers don't really use their sense of smell for hunting but more for interacting with one another and marking territory. The female marks her territory with scents to allow males to know when she is ready to mate. Taste: Tigers don't have a very complex sense of taste but it is said that they can taste acidic and sweet flavors. Touch: The tiger's keen sense of touch is not only important for their special form of socialization, but it also helps them with hunting and feeding by helping them determine where to bite for and effective kill.
