Yes. They are the only type of big cat that love the water so therefore there brilliant swimmers _____________________________________________________________ According to my information - yes - tigers can swim and they love water. Although they are cats they can swim and like the water. it's pretty strange Most domestic cats don't like going in the water, but there are a few breeds like the Turkish Van that love to go swimming. Likewise, some big cats like tigers like to swim - but they are not the only ones. Jaguars, for example, are also known as strong swimmers. Lions, on the other hand, don't seem to care much for the water although they are capable swimmers as well. When you consider the habitats of the big cats, you can usually guess which ones are the swimmers by considering how much water they have in their habitat. Lions, for example, are more savanna animals, while tigers are common in areas that have a lot of rivers.
