Tiger is one of the largest felines among the cat family. Tiger cubs are born blind and they get their eyesight on sixth or 14th day after birth. The average age expectancy of a tiger is around 25 years of age. Tigers also mate with other cats and hence hybrids are formed. They are surely one of the fastest runners as they run for around 60 kms per hour to hunt their prey. The group of tigers are called ambush and they prefer to hunt in group. Tiger does not have special or preferred diet. They eat anything that comes on their way. They feast on dear, wild boar, bear and crocodile among others. Tigers are actors by profession wherein they imitate other animals calls which becomes easy for hunting.

As you all know, Tiger is our national animal and deserves a special mention. The efforts for their conservation as been taken by the authorities. India has several tiger reserves that have taken conservation work serious. The need for conservation comes from the fact that their number was increasing and also tiger is one of the apex predators that protects the eco-system by controlling the minor animal species. It also protects the vegetation and other natural environment like streams, lakes, trees and other ecology of the jungle. The jungles are one of India’s best heritage and the tigers are the conservers and carriers of this heritage.
