A Tiger's Tale

Author's Note:  I had to find a topic to write about and it came to me, why don't I write about my favorite animal in the world.
Roar! Roar! That is the sound that a wild cat makes. One of the cats in the cat family is a tiger. Some people think differently, they think that all tigers are different; it doesn’t matter if the tigers are ugly or beautiful. Everyone has their favorite and so do I. All tigers are the same, but there are many different types of tigers, such as Bengal, Siberian, Indochinese, South Chinese, Sumatran, Malayan, Caspian, Javan and Bali.  Personally my two favorite types of tigers would have to be the Bengal and Siberian tigers because they are beautiful. Most tigers are beautiful but there’s just something about Bengal and Siberian tigers!
One really interesting fact to me is that of the tigers I named above, the last three are extinct, one is extinct in the wild, and the rest are endangered. Another interesting fact that I thought was weird but yet cool was that all tigers have a lifespan of 10-15 years. Also I thought this was a pretty cool fact that a male Siberian tiger and a male Sumatran tiger are way different in weight than each other. But yet the females for both of them are both very similar.
The Diet of all tigers is the same; they mainly eat ambar deer, wild pigs, water buffalo and antelope. Tigers are also known to hunt sloth bears, dogs, leopards, crocodiles and pythons as well as monkeys and hares. Old and injured tigers have been known to attack humans and domestic cattle.
Over all, tigers are alike in many different ways but then again tigers are different in many different ways. My point is is that no matter what type of tigers they are they are all the same in many different ways.
