Tiger, 10 facts about endangered species

Tigers are magnificent creatures, now, unfortunately, endangered.

1. Unlike domestic cats, tigers have round, rather than slit, pupils. This is due to the fact that domestic cats by nature are animals that are nocturnal, and tigers are "dusk": they hunt at dawn and at sunset.
2. Despite the fact that tiger eyes are not very adapted to darkness, their night vision is 6 times better than that of humans.
3. Most tigers have yellow eyes, but white tigers are blue-eyed, due to the fact that the same gene is responsible for the color of eyes and wool in tigers.
4. Tigers sweep the territory, urinating on trees, and their urine has a distinctly pronounced smell of oily popcorn.
5. From the smell of the urine of another tiger, a tiger can get a lot of information: age, sex, reproductive function.
6. Male tigers have a larger habitat than females, so they can find each other in a common area for mating. In this case, the territory of an adult female never intersects with the territory of other females, and males never meet with each other.

1. Usually, tigers do not growl at other animals, but can communicate with other tigers from afar with the help of a roar. If the tiger is about to attack, it does not growl, but snorts and hisses.
2. When, after hunting for one victim, several tigers claim, the males will skip ahead of the females and cubs, unlike the lions that act on the contrary. Male tigers will not argue for food, but just wait their turn.
3. Voices of tigers are as unique as fingerprints of a person.
4. Strips on the forehead of the tiger resemble the Chinese character "King".
