Species
Many tales have been told about ferocious tigers killing people. Few tigers actually kill humans. those tigers that do are usually too old, sick, or weak to catch their normal prey. Even something as a porcupine quill could cripple a tiger making it too slow to hunt other animals. Then if it got hungry enough it might attack a person.
Ancient Indian legends and sculptures depict the tiger as a symbol of power. In Asia people have always thought of the tiger as the king of the beasts.
Tigers have really big paws. Tigers are only hunted for their fur. Tigers are the largest cat alive. A tiger's fur helps it to hide in the tall grass. tigers cannot run fast for a long distances so they must get close to their prey before attacking. Tigers breed so well in captivity. They will not be lost altogether. Even though tigers may die out in the wild there will be tigers left in the world.
