well tigers... they are the biggest of all the cats (Body length: 140-280cm, Tail length: 60-110cm, Shoulder height: 80-110cm, Weight: Male: 180-280kg, Female: 115-185kg). They are easily recognisable, with thick black vertical stripes covering an orange body. The belly and throat are a creamy white. Male tigers have a ruff around the back of the head, which is especially pronounced in the Sumatran male.\n\nNo two tigers have the same stripe pattern - each is unique, like human fingerprints. Tiger stripe patterns commonly differ between the two sides of an individual's body.\n\nThe last recorded wild white tiger was documented in 1951. This male cub later became the progenitor of most white tigers in captivity. The stripes of white tigers are brown.\n\nunlike the lion tigers hunt by themselves. tigers have one of the biggest jaws of all the cats (second to the american jagaur, who has the first). The tiger has no natural predetor other than man, they live for 8-10 years in the wild and 26 years in captivity.\n\nTigers stalk and ambush their prey. They use dense covering to conceal themselves and sneak up on their prey. When the tiger is close enough it suddenly rushes at its prey and kills it by grabbing the throat or nape of the neck.\n\nFemales occupy ranges between 25-1600 sq. km. Males occupy larger ranges which may overlap with the ranges of several females.\n\nMore than other big cats, tigers have a reputation as man-eaters. In truth, it is rare for a tiger to attack people. It is normally old or injured tigers who are the culprits, as they are less able to catch their usual prey.

My friend Donna has some great science fair links on her page:\n\nhttp://www.lewismiddleschool.com/Earle/earle.htm\n\nAlso - my daughter won her elementary science fair one year with a great project on earthworms.  We got 2 one-gallon glass jars.  We put gravel and dirt in each jar, about half full.  In each jar, we put equal amount of organic garbage - small chicken bone, orange peel, apple core, small piece of newspaper, etc.  In one jar, we put 50 earthworms.  We closed the jars (with airholes) for one week.  Most of the garbage from the worm-jar was gone.  In the other jar, the garbage was still there.  It was a winner!

Amazing how many will answer without seeing the tracks. Go here http://www.cityofmelrose.org/departments/Conservation/files/tracks/tracks.jpgand you can decide for yourself by seeing examples of tracks and their sizes. BTW housecats do go deep in the woods. Check out the footprints.\nhttp://www.bear-tracker.com/mammals.html This is a great site with actual photographs.

Danged interesting.  I will look into this.  I have said myself that the future belongs to the best breeders of any species.  Why are the pandas and white tigers endangered and the racoon and rat thriving? Adaptability and reproduction.  It's like WHO do you think are going to inherit the earth? The little WASP couple in the gated community with one or two perfect little lily white children or the Mexican couple with eight kids who will live anywhere and do anything to survive?  Whose kids are going to be the most capable of adapting and thriving? The robust little peasants or the little hot house plants?

I have to say that Tigers are my fave too! I especially love the Sumatran tiger. I love all of the cat family; the grace, strength, power and intelligence. I wish I could have my own tiger (well behaved of course) but three gorgeous (and often trying) cats is probably enough for me!

There are a lot of boys and a lot of girls in grades 7-12. This sounds more like a homework assignment that you are trying to get us to do for you. Good luck with your research.

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

The cubs weigh about 2-3 pounds at birth. Adult tigers range from 4.5 feet (1.37 m) to 9 feet (2.7 m) long. Males are larger than females. The largest tigers are the Siberian tigers, weighing about 500 pounds (230 kg); the smallest are the Sumatran tigers, weighing about 250 pounds (115 kg). Tigers' tails are 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 m) long. A female tiger is about 3 and half feet tall.
