A fascinating fact about tigers is that they can live up to twenty years in the wild. Captive tigers are usually not as old as tigers living in the wild. While half of tigers in captivity live to be 20 years old, most die before this age. The oldest tiger in captivity weighed in at more than twenty five pounds. Despite this, tigers are often mistreated, which is why they are subjected to so many cruel conditions. The largest cat in the Panthera genus, tigers are renowned for their fearsome reputation. They are among the heaviest cats in the world and weigh around 200 kg. The cat is so large that it can swim for hours and can even kill in the water. Its huge size means that it can swim for kilometres and reaches speeds of 30 km per day! While tigers prefer to live alone, they often mingle with females during mating seasons.

Tiger is found in India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. Its diet is primarily comprised of ungulates, including wild pigs. In addition to pigs and wild chickens, tigers will kill elephant calves and wild buffalo. In addition to these two main prey species, tigers may also kill peafowl, hare, and leopard. They need large, contiguous habitats to survive. The tiger has many symbolic meanings. In early Christianity, it is often depicted as a dragon with wings. In some cultures, it is revered as a god. In China, it is even considered sacred, and is called Lord of the Black Rock. A show based on this myth was filmed in Budapest and Birmingham. A live band and a dancer accompanied the epic staging. The tiger is the symbol of royalty, strength, and fearlessness.

The tiger is the largest member of the cat family, and it owns its territory. Dreaming of a tiger or seeing its symbol in your dreams could mean you have chosen a leadership role. It is also believed that tiger energy is primordial and savage. Many tribes in North India claim that the tiger is their totem animal. If you have a tiger in your dream, you can make use of its energy to empower others. The tongue of a tiger is covered with small rear-facing projections, and its rasping texture helps it to strip a prey animal’s flesh. Because the tiger’s vocal cords are thick, the tiger can produce an incredibly intimidating roar that can paralyze other animals. Tigers are often territorial, so male tigers wait until female tigers have killed a prey animal before they eat it.
