10 Interesting Facts About Tigers You Didn't Know

 Tigers are among the most prominent creatures on earth. They are the largest species of cats that still live on earth. This untamed untapped Hunter weighs up to 670lb (306 kg) and has a total body length of 11 ft (3.3 m). In the last century, Tigers were put in a corner to leave their habitat, and more than 93% of their species were destroyed. At the beginning of the 20th century, the global population in the wild was around 100,000. After a gradual decline in human settlements and fragmentation, it is now estimated to be between 3,062 and 3,948.

Here are ten interesting and unusual facts about the tiger (belonging to the Panthera family):

1. The tiger's penis smells foul

Tigers' are solitary animals. The tigress has an area of ​​20 km (7.7 sq. Miles), while the male covers about 60 to 100 km (23 to 39 sq. Miles). To mark their starting point and end, the elders scratch a tree and spray their urine with the smelly popcorn that smells like buttocks! In this scent, the tiger can identify the owner of the urine.

2. Tigers can't clean

Tigers, actually come from the cat family. But, do they clean? No, they do not. When a tiger is happy, they blink or completely close their eyes. They do this only when they feel comfortable and secure as the loss of vision lowers the tiger's defenses.

3. Tigers can mimic other animals in attracting prey

Bears and leopards often cross paths with one another because of their habitat. To attract the attention of the bear, tigers mimic the sound of bear cubs. As the bear approaches thinking that he has found food, the tiger attacks. (That's scary!)

4. All Tigers have yellow eyes, except for the white ones, which have blue eyes

The genes of blue eyes and white fur are intertwined, so white tigers may have blue eyes rather than yellow ones. Besides, the genes of blue eyes and the opposing eyes are connected, so white tigers have blue eyes.

5. The leopard stabbed the penis

The tiger's penis can't stand up when it's awakened! Like males 'males' have a baculum (a bone found inside) covered with barbs. A sharp bone, helps to "maintain contact" between a man and a woman during intercourse.

6. Tiger backhand can kill you

Tigers use their 10 cm long teeth to crush the victim's throat! One strike is enough to wreak havoc. The foreskin of the tiger's paws are strong enough to hit the Bear's skull or break its back. (good!)

7. Tiger comes in a variety of colors

Because of the differences in the leopard's genetic makeup, its color can vary from normal black to orange. Tiger coats can be white, gold, black and blue. Blue tigers are called Maltese tigers, but there is no evidence that the tiger has a unique color!

8. The leopard has short-term memories

Tigers have a short-term memory that is 30 times shorter than humans. That means they can remember something for a long time and not forget as quickly as we do. (Isn't that great?)

9. The leopard has markings on its fur

The tiger's forehead contains a collection of lashes that contain a striking resemblance to a Chinese character meaning "king." It gave the tiger a cultural status as the best animal to walk on lions!

10. A leopard mates with lions and other cats to produce offspring

According to genetic research, male lions have the ability to produce large springs on the outside and female lions produce smaller offspring. When a male lion has sexual intercourse with a female tiger, the result is a huge liger! A liger can weigh up to 1000 lbs and reach a height of 11.5ft! The lioness and the male tiger will produce a small Tigon, and weigh about 180 kg (400 lbs).
