Can tiger swim?

Yes, tigers swim very well and quite a lot too. They use swimming to cool off. Most tigers absolutely love water as it's great fun for them, as well as it cooling them off. Cats and lions do not like it but tigers and cheetahs do. They do the "doggy paddle" as they swim. Bengal tigers have webbing in their feet and have been known to swim over 15 miles.its odd because we think cats hate to swim but some cats love to swim and do it often. ps. if you like tigers help them to live and stop being indangerd please help the tigers from being extinced help all animals and your reward will be all the pride you can have
