Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. They live in Asia and belong to the same genus as the lion, leopard, and jaguar. Two major subspecies of the tiger are the Siberian tiger and the Bengal tiger. The tiger is thought to have originated in northern Asia during the Pleistocene Epoch.
Scientific classification:
Tigers belong to the family Felidae. The scientific classifications of each tiger are listed in the "Types of Tigers" section of this report.
Appearance
The Siberian tiger measures 4.6 to 9.2 ft long, excluding the tail, which is 27 to 37 in long. The Siberian Tiger weighs 400 to 675 lb. It has thick yellow fur with dark stripes. The Bengal tiger is about 10 ft long, including the tail, and weighs around 400 to 569 lb. It is found in southeastern Asia and in central and southern India. Its coat is flatter than the Siberian tiger's coat, it has a darker color, and the stripes are darker. The Sumatran tiger is even smaller and darker.
Ears
The tiger's ears are its main advantage when hunting. Tigers have white spots behind their ears to help identify one another in the jungle. Hearing is the tiger's sharpest sense.
Eyes
The tiger's night vision is six times greater than ours. They have a mirror like layer at the back of the eye that reflects extra light. Tigers also have very good colorful eyesight.
Mouth
Tigers have long, canine teeth that they use to stab and kill their prey. The molars behind them are like scissors. They slice strips of ...

* Perhaps the most noticeable and striking characteristics of a polar bear is its color. The fur shafts themselves are not white. The shafts actually lack pigmentation and are transparent which allows them to scatter and reflect light resulting in ideal camouflage in a world of ice and snow.
The Leopard is one of the five basic fighting styles. The Leopard is strong against the Dragon fighting style. It is weak against the Snake fighting style. The leopard is an offensive animal, so it is based off an offensive attacking style. The Leopard uses fast unceasing attacks and a nonstop rapid-fire barrage. The Leopard uses multiple hits at one time to defeat an opponent rather the one big hit so if the attacker misses one hit it is not important to the outcome. It uses the sum of multiple hits to beat an opponent rather than a few powerful hits.
Lions have relatively short-legged, long, muscular bodies and large heads. The male grows on average to 1.7 to 2.5 m (5.6 to 8.2 ft) long, not including the tail, which is 90 to 105 cm (36 to 41 in) in length. It stands 1.23 m (4 ft) high at the shoulder, and it weighs 150 to 250 kg (330 to 550 lb). The mane, which covers the head and neck, sometimes extends to the shoulders and belly. The mane will vary in color and length; well-fed, healthy lions have longer, fuller manes. Females are smaller but equally muscular. Lions vary in color from golden to brown. The mane of a male lion will vary from black to yellow. Both sexes have retractable claws to keep them sharp when they are needed. Lions have wide powerful jaws. The lions roar, which can be heard by humans up to 9 (5.6 miles) kilometers away, is usually uttered before the animals hunt in the evening, after a successful hunt, and again in the early morning.
Keung is one of the protagonists of the book "White Jade Tiger". He has tanned skin, long braided hair, and black eyes. Keung grew into a hard-working, ambitious man from experiencing a tough moral in life. Together, Keung and Jasmine (who he believed to be a spirit of his dream) will return the White Jade Tiger to Bright Jade to end the deathly curse on the Bright Jade clan.
Giant Pandas are a species of bear that are scientifically known as Ailuropoda melanoleuca. This species is very unique within the bear family and happens to also be an endangered species. Characteristics of the Giant panda include what they look like, size, diet, and others that make them a unique species.
Yan Martel and William Blake described the tiger’s appearance, soul, and creation similarly. Both authors felt that tigers are fierce, strong, majestic and so on, however they also said how fearful tigers are.
William Shakespeare once said, “[My] honor is my life; both grow in one; take honor from me, and my life is done.” The idea is touched upon in both the book Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston as well as Disney’s Mulan were family honor is more important than anything else. Mulan was directed by Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. The film Mulan retold the story of a woman warrior who took her father’s place in battle and became a savior of China.The movie uses many elements from the original story told in the chapter “White Tigers,” but adds many modern twists in order to make the story more appealing for a newer generation. In both stories of Fa Mu Lan the elements of sacrifice, silence and voice, cultural practices of ancestor worship and filial piety, and Chinese stereotypes are present.
The scientific name for red pandas is ailurus fulgens, but they are most often called red pandas. They live in China and the Himalayas. They live in forests with mountains and tall trees. There are under 3,000 left in the world. Because they are omnivores, they eat insects, acorns, bamboo, berries, and eggs. Their predators are snow leopards, martens, and humans. They have about three babies at a time. Their babies are called cubs. The cubs live in their nest until they are 90 days old. The dad doesn’t care about the babies they have. He just leaves. The mom takes care of the cubs until it is time for them to leave.
Otters are the smallest out of all the marine animals. Female otters are generally smaller than male otters. Their tail is about one-third of their body and is used to help them dive deeper. To swim, otters use their hind flippers and tail. An otter’s body is very slender and long. They are extremely flexible, so they can groom all of their body. Their eyes are small and their ears are just visible. All otters have a very good sense of smell and can hear very well. Their whiskers can sense vibrations in the water which comes in handy when they are hunting. Most types of otters have retractable claws which allow them to better grip their food. “It is the only marine animal capable of lifting and turning over rocks, which it often does with its front paws when searching for prey” (“Otter Anatomy &

A polar bear is a one of the eight species. “Scientists believe that the polar bear began over 200,000 years ago. They came from the brown bears ancestors.” Most experts think that polar bears are the longest bears. Males measure over 10 feet long, when standing on their hind legs, other bear not so much. Brown bears and polar bear are the largest and are both land carnivores. Polar bears are one of the worlds largest world predictors.
The polar bear has a long, narrower head and nose, and small ears. The polar bear has coat that appears white but, each individual hair is actually a clear and hollow. This helps the polar bear keep warm. The polar bear's coat helps it blend in with its snowy surroundings, this adaptation helps the Polar Bear hide while hunting. The polar bear's front legs are slightly pigeon-toed, and fur covers the bottoms of its paws. These adaptations help the polar bear keep them from slipping on ice.
The tiger is known for being a wild and dangerous animal, but also its beauty. In relations to India this could be a reference to the beautiful culture which enriches our experience of India, but also some of the downsides that it has like poverty and unemployment and other sociological factors which paint a grim picture of Indian life.
