Tigers


Appearance

Tigers are so heavy that they can't run after their prey. Their stripes blend in with their shadow of the long grass and therefore no animal can see them. A tiger's color is black and orange or black and white.

Actions

Tigers are rare animals. Tigers love to swim in the water. Because it's so hot where they live, they go to cool off in the water. Tigers swim many miles. They might even swim to an island! They hide and jump out of the shadows and get their prey!
