Tiger, big cat; The coat is light yellow or brownish yellow and covered with black stripes; Round head, short ears, black behind the ears and a white spot in the center. Strong limbs; The tail is thick and long, with black rings and black tail.
Tigers are typical mountain animals, which can survive well from tropical rain forests and evergreen broad-leaved forests in the south to deciduous broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests in the north. In the northeast of China, it often appears in mountainous areas, such as ridges, bushes, rock or gravel ponds, etc. In order to hunt.
Tigers often act alone, and only in the breeding season do males and females live together. There are no fixed nests, and most of them wander in the mountains for food. Can swim, not good at climbing trees. Due to the development of forest areas and the surge of population, remote areas have developed into villages and towns in the past, and tigers often forage near forest settlements. Tigers are more active at dusk, more dormant during the day and rarely come out without being disturbed. Tigers have a wide range of activities, and their daily foraging activities can reach dozens of kilometers in the north; In Xishuangbanna, south of China, there is more food, so the moving distance is shorter.
The estrus mating period is generally from June 1 1 day to February of the following year. In estrus, the tiger's cry is particularly loud and can spread to 2 kilometers away. The gestation period is about 105 days, and each time, 1-5 cubs are born, usually 2 cubs. The newborn tiger cubs weigh about 1 kg, and they are breast-fed for 5-6 months. During this period, the tigress did not mate in estrus, so under natural conditions, the tigress can only reproduce once every 2-3 years. The female tiger is sexually mature at the age of 3, and the male tiger is later. The life span of a tiger is generally 20-25 years.

Lazy bears have poor eyesight and rely on their sense of smell and hearing, so they choose to attack at night and sleep deeply during the day, so they are called lazy bears.

They are big and fierce, and live by hunting seals, walruses, whales, seabirds and fish. This seemingly bulky polar bear is so agile that it can even catch up with reindeer or arctic rabbits in a sprint. At the same time, it is also a master of ice swimming, swimming at a speed of 10 km, diving for 2 minutes and swimming for hundreds of kilometers in ice water, so it can be called a "semi-aquatic animal". Polar bears are the most carnivorous bears living in the northernmost part.

Litters are usually born in the nests of other animals (such as hyenas), and12-1August is sexually mature.
Grassland, shrub and sparse woodland distributed in Africa, mainly distributed in parts of eastern and southern Africa.

I like to roll in the mud pond, which can keep me cool and dry, and can also repel insects. Activities in cool time, such as dawn, feed on branches, saplings and various wild fruits. Life expectancy in the wild can exceed 30 years. Due to human hunting and habitat destruction, the population is less than 300.

There are obvious skin folds on the body, and there are many small drums like round nails on the skin, which seems to be covered with a thick layer of armor. However, the skin between the skin folds is very delicate and easy to be bitten by mosquitoes, so you should take a mud bath almost every day to remove and prevent mosquito bites. The body length is 2. 1-4.2m, the tail length is 60-75cm, the shoulder height is 1. 1-2m, and it weighs 2-4 tons.
