The
Siberian tiger is the largest big cat in the world and can grow up to
three metres long from its nose to the tip of its tail.
The
tiger's stripes are as varied and unique as fingerprints. Even the skin
underneath is striped. At first glance, the striking pattern hardly
seems to be beneficial. After all, the tiger does not want to be
discovered by its prey immediately. When the tiger goes hunting in the
twilight, it is however perfectly camouflaged with the stripes. They
appear as tall grass moving in the wind or like fleeting shadows. Unlike
many other "cats" and big cats the tiger swims well and likes it, too.
Therefore, the water is not a safe place for many prey animals.
Fun fact: Tigers purr, just like domestic cats – but 100 times louder.
