Tigers.

Tigers talk by roaring.

A male <reg>Tiger's</reg> roar is to tell other Tigers to keep away.

A Tigress to call her cubs or to <reg>attract</reg> a male.

A grown up male Tiger lives by himself on his territory.

He marks it by spraying urine over the trees and bushes.

He also leaves droppings and footprints in the ground.

It lets other Tigers know that the land belongs to him and warns them to keep away.

If a Tiger is angry He wrinkles up his nose, snarls and twists his ears round to show two <reg>white</reg> spots.

<reg>It</reg> warns others to keep away from him.

A Tiger flicks his tail from side to side when he is <reg>stalking</reg> an animal.

Lions

The Lion is named the King Of Beasts because he is fierce and <reg>powerful</reg>.

A family of Lions is called a pride.

In each pride there are two or three Grownup Lions and 5 or 6 Grownup Lionesses.

There may also be <reg>several</reg> young Lions and a <reg>few</reg> young Lionesses.

Cubs like to chase about and spring on each <reg>others'</reg> tails.

They learn to do things like pouncing and <reg>stalking</reg> <reg>which</reg> will be <reg> useful</reg> when they look after <reg>themselves</reg> and catch <reg>their</reg> food.

They play with <reg>their</reg> mother and nuzzle her face. That keeps her friendly and stops her from getting cross and hurting them.

<reg>Their</reg> father hardly ever plays with them.

If a Lion roars for others to keep away and another Lion comes too close they will fight until one of them is hurt.

Tigers.

The soft pads on a <reg>Tiger's</reg> paw allow them to hunt without a sound.

Tigers watch and listen for animals moving through the forest.

Lions and Tigers.

The lion is the king of beasts.

Tigers are cousins of the Lions, They are also in the big cat family.

The Tiger is bravest of the two although both of them are strong!

Lions and Tigers can both see in the dark Like normal cats.

Tigers have rough <reg>tongues</reg> that can scrape <reg>every</reg> bit of flesh from bones and teeth.

Tigers are <sic>camouflage</sic> and <reg>their</reg> claws are very sharp.

<reg>In 1900</reg> there were 10,000 Tigers <reg>around</reg> the world, Now there are hardly 6,500 Tigers left in the world.

TIGERS.

Tigers can be found in a lot of <reg>countries</reg> in Asia. Some live in Jungles and Swamps.

Others live in cold places with mountains.

Like a lot of big cats they spend the day resting and sleeping they hunt for food at night.

The <reg>biggest</reg> cat in the world is a grown-up Tiger. A <reg>Tigress</reg> <reg>usually</reg> has three or four babies at a time, <reg>While</reg> they are small they drink <reg>their</reg> <reg>mother's</reg> milk to make them strong.

The father does not help to look after his cubs.

LIONS.

When Lions are small they have spots they <reg>lose</reg> them as they grow up.

Adult Lions have big hairy manes.

Lions have tufts on the end of <reg>their</reg> tails, Tigers don't have tufts on the end of <reg>their</reg> tails.

A new born Lion cub is <reg>usually</reg> born with three or four brothers and, sisters.When the cub has just been born <reg>their</reg> mother hides them in a safe place, When they are <reg>a few</reg> weeks old <reg>their</reg> mother takes them to join her pride. (Or family group.)

As a <reg>rule</reg> all the Lionesses are closely related often they are sisters so they belong to a big family with lots of playmates to play with.

When they are hungry if <reg>their</reg> mothers are away <reg>their</reg> aunts feed them with <reg>their</reg> own milk. The Lions help keep <reg>their</reg> cubs safe by patrolling and guarding the area in <reg>which</reg> the pride lives.

The Lionesses do most of the hunting. The cubs feed <reg>off</reg> milk until they are seven months old but, even when they are quite tiny they learn how to stalk and catch <reg>their</reg> <reg>prey.</reg> They do not help to hunt until they are a year old. They can not make a kill for themselves until they are at least three months after this. Grown up females stay in the same pride as <reg>their</reg> mothers as for the grown up males they go and find a new pride to join.

TIGERS.

A baby Tiger is unlikely to know its father because it is brought-up entirely by his/her mother.

When they are six months old they begin to learn to hunt and follow <reg>their</reg> mother on hunting expeditions and soon become <reg>skilful</reg>. by the time they are one year old they can make <reg>kills</reg> for themselves. But they still have much to learn, so they stay <reg>together</reg> for at least another year.

Like other cats Tiger cubs play with each other, but as they <reg>grow up</reg>they <reg>wander</reg> away to live by <reg>themselves</reg> .
