Smile of The Day: Tiger at Animal Kingdom

Posted on 06:13 by john mical
The Maharaja Jungle Trek in the Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World gives people a great opportunity to tiger watch. There are four different observation areas and each provides a unique perspective.

The tiger is the third-largest land carnivore behind the polar bear and the brown bear. It is even bigger than its closest relative, the lion.

The white and black stripes on tigers create unique patterns and help camouflage them in the long grasses where they would hunt. The patterns are distinct. Each tiger in the world has its own stripe pattern.

Height and weight: They can grow up to 11 feet long and 670 pounds.

What they eat: Tigers are predators and usually eat between 33 to 40 pounds of meat a day. In the wild  feed on medium and larger animals in the wild such as wild board, water buffalo, gaur and chital.
