Interesting facts about tigers



Tigers are some of the most interesting cat types in the world, however many of us don’t really know much about them and the way they behave with the other animals.

They are a large, magnificent creature with a great appeal to kids, and in this article we are going to share with you a few interesting facts about tigers that will help you better understand these majestic animals.

One of the basic facts about tigers is that the tiger vision is around 5-6 times better than the one a man has. In fact, all cats, including tigers are known to have a much better vision than humans. However, the tiger night vision can be, surprisingly, much better than the one of some dog races.

Also, some other facts about tigers state that they mark their territories in two ways, either by urinating on the trees or scratching them. Their urine has a scent of buttered popcorn, which is very interesting.

Tigers have a unique system of stripes, and no two tigers will have the same stripes. This is actually very similar to the DNA system that you can find in human. On top of that, tigers don’t roar at other animals, instead they use roaring as the means to communicate with other tigers that might be in the vicinity.

It’s also interesting to know that tigers, unlike lions, will wait for the cubs and females to eat first, as the males will eat later. This is very impressive considering the fact that many animals do the exact opposite, and it shows, once again, why the tiger is such a majestic and wonderful creature.

Unlike most big cats, tigers have a natural ability to swim, and while they aren’t major swimmers, they are much better at this than many other large cats, which is great.

For the first week of their life, the tiger cubs are blind and, because of that, they are prone to being hunted by other predators. In fact, more than half of all cubs don’t get to adulthood.

The fastest speed that a tiger can sprint at is around 60 km/h, however they can’t keep this speed for a very long time, instead they run in short bursts, and usually just after a prey.

Despite being natural hunters however, tigers fail from time to time in getting their prey, and that is why only one in 10 hunts are actually successful.

Lastly, it’s important to know that tigers actually have an antiseptic saliva. This means that they saliva can help disinfect wounds.


In conclusion, tigers are some amazing creatures and, as you can see, they are filled with surprises. You will definitely enjoy tigers even more once you read these amazing facts, and feel free to check out our site for more information on these wonderful creatures.
