Tigers are the largest cat species - a poem

She stalks the jungle

camouflaged, a Bengal beauty

He strides the Siberian snow on

snowshoe-padded paws

 

Strong swimmers, their stripes

are their fingerprints,

no two the same

 

Solitary stalking predators

And now, sadly, these

colossal cats are sparse

Tigers are severely endangered, with perhaps 4000 left in the wild worldwide. Tigers are the largest species of cat. An adult can eat around 88 pounds of meat per day. They swim, and it helps them cover distances to hunt. When shaved, their skin also has stripes matching those on their fur! Help save the tigers by donating to causes that stop poaching and their killing. July 29 is International World Tiger Day. - - - - Andi
