The habits of tigers

Tigers like to be alone, and only during mating and lactation, males and females, or females and cubs, live together. Each tiger has its own territory, and when inspecting the territory, it likes to draw a line by peeing, scratching tree trunks, defecating and leaving tiger hair. Tigers have no fixed nests, mostly wander in the mountains and forests in search of food; they lurk during the day and come out for activities at night; they don't like hot weather, can swim and are not good at climbing trees.

1. Tigers like to be alone, and only during mating and lactation, males and females, or females and cubs, live together. Adult tigers, especially siblings, are likely to cooperate and share the harvest with each other for a period of time (whether it is long-term or not).

2. Each tiger has its own territory, and when patrolling the territory, it will lift its tail and spray strong-smelling secretions and urine on tree trunks or bushes, sometimes scratching traces on tree trunks with sharp claws, or rolling on the ground to leave tiger hair to define its own sphere of influence. If there are intruders, male tigers usually pursue a policy of killing.

3. Tigers have no fixed nests and often roam in the mountains and forests to find food. They usually prey on large mammals, including all kinds of wild deer, wild sheep, bison, wild boar, red deer, water deer, roe deer, musk deer, muntjac and other hoofed animals. Sometimes catch all kinds of small animals, such as birds, monkeys, fish and so on. In order to help digestion, occasionally nibble some grass. Hunger will also prey on humans and livestock, and even eat people.

4. Tigers usually rest during the day and go out for activities at night. They do not like hot weather, because of the lack of sweat glands, they always seek shade everywhere in summer, or play in ponds, but their tree climbing skills are far less than swimming skills.
