Ben’s Adventure With Tiger’s! A tiger is relaxing on some grass. oiuoi : Look Out Tiger Coming Through! : Mating, Habitat’s, Cubs Oh My! : : Cowards ? Tiger’s can climb trees, Get ready to be amazed because what I’m going to tell you about is the biggest cat in the world! Introducing the Tiger! The Tiger is the biggest cat in the world! Each one has black stripes, unlike other animals you may have seen! Tigers come in many colors all of which look very pretty, orange with black stripes and even white with dark stripes. If you challenge a Tiger to a race, you better run fast because tigers can run at thirty miles an hour! Tigers also have strong jaws to rip things apart with like food. Just imagine if you had jaws like a tigers, you’d be able to rip helpless pieces of food apart easily too! They don’t call Tigers the biggest cats on earth for nothing, because these beasts can grow up to ten feet! (My opinion HUGE)! Each one has yellow eyes (and I thought tigers were already beautiful with their fur)! In addition to being big tigers are also long, as they are nine feet long! Tigers can weigh up to 420 which very and I mean VERY heavy! Females can also weigh up to 300 pounds. But which Tiger but almost never do. I don’t understand this because from what I hear, cat’s climb tree’s. So why don’t Tiger’s do it a lot? I think I need to read more books to figure that out! weighs the most? Drumroll please… It’s the… Siberian Tiger at a massive up to 500 pounds (amazing I know)! Looks like I’m out of things to tell you about in appearance, but don’t leave because next up is a Tigers habitat. Extinction Tigers are known for having beautiful fur! Three Tiger species Caspin, Bali and Javan are extinct. Danger! Tiger Decrease Alert! Unfortunately Tigers are an example of an endangered animal, as people are killing them for their beautiful fur, and are destroying their habitats. However due to this some Tigers live in zoos so they can be safe from danger. Mating, Habitat’s, Cubs Oh My! Uh oh! I had to go to Dunkin Donuts, made a wrong turn and look where I ended up Asia! Well since this is where Tiger’s live, I guess now I can talk about their habitat. Tigers like I said live in Asia as well as other place’s like tropical forests (I hope tropical punch is there), grasslands, swamps and even cold areas! I wonder if they ever met any polar bear’s? Enjoy being in the water? Well I do (except when I’m drowning, which by the way almost happened to me)! Well you expect Tiger’s to hate water do you? Nope! Tiger’s actually ENJOY water! In fact Tiger’s like water so much that if you find their habitat, it might not be far from water at all! It’s pretty cool to see a cat ENJOYING water don’t you think? Have you ever thought how hard your Mom works for you? Just think about it, she washes the dishes, takes out the laundry and even makes your food! Well if you think that’s hard to deal with, wait until you see what a female tiger does! Raising children may be tough, but how about raising up to six of them! Females take care of up to six cubs, each are born in a litter. Plus since after males and females mate they separate, females raise the cubs on their own. Just imagine if you got married, separated and soon had kids. You’d have to work twice as hard then if you had a husband or a wife! or notWell that’s all the information I have now because I’m hungry, which reminds me next is food. leave Goodbye… Believe it Tiger cubs their moms earlier then you might expect! In six months they leave the den, and in two years they leave their moms! This Tiger seems to live in a tropical rainforest. There’s A Tiger And He’s Hungry… Ok now that I got my meal out of the way, now to talk about Tigers and food. Tigers have a big and I mean BIG appetite! In fact they usually can eat up to 12 pounds! But if you think that’s a lot, it’s not even close to maximum number of pounds a Tiger can eat! Up to how many pounds can a Tiger eat you may ask? I’ll tell you, up to SIXTY POUNDS!!! What do they eat to gain all that weight you may ask? Tigers don’t eat what we do like sandwiches or pancakes, and find these more scrumptious. For example deer, antelope, birds and even pigs! Tigers eat prey big to small, and they all have one thing in common. What is it? They all have meat, but why is it important? Because Tigers eat meat of course! But getting prey isn’t easy, because they have to hunt it first! They have a place called a territory where they hunt. How Tigers get prey is cruel in MANY ways to me, because here’s how they get their prey. First they stalk the prey, finally uses strong jaw to eat the prey. Sad isn’t it… The killed prey is called a carcass, and it can take WEEKS for a Tiger to eat it! Well I enjoyed my journey with Tigers and sharing what I learned with you, now I’m home! ‘’Mom! I’m home!” A Tiger eating a carcass, which is killed prey. “Ben! We were worried sick! You got to do your homework! “But Mommy?’’ “No buts Ben. NOW!’’ ‘’Fine love you Mommy!’’ ‘’Love you too Ben”! Since I told you about Tigers, I guess I’ll write an essay about Tigers. Nighttime Hunters! Tigers can hunt at night using special nighttime hunting abilities! For example it uses sharp vision and Huge- A word to describe something big. Pounds - A unit of weight. Habitat - A place where an animal lives. Separate- When something is taken away from something else.
