It's great to be a tiger
Tigers usually stay 10 to 30 square miles where there is enough prey, shelter and water to support them. White tigers in the wild live up to about 10-15 years while tigers in zoos live up to about16-20 years. Tigers eat pig, cattle and deer. They can eat as much as 40 pounds of meat at one time! after such a big meal like that, a tiger will not eat again for several days. Tigers teeth are three inches. I can't even fit that in my mouth! Tigers have a reddish-orange to yellow- ochre coats with black stripes and a white belly.
