They have a pronounced head with a broad muzzle, long and sharp canine teeth, and keen senses, including excellent vision and hearing.
Tigers are solitary animals and territorial in nature. They mark their territory using scent markings, urine, feces, and scratch marks. They are also excellent swimmers, often enjoying a dip to cool off in rivers and lakes. Tigers are mainly nocturnal hunters, preying on a variety of animals such as deer, boar, and buffalo. They employ stealth and ambush techniques to catch their prey.

Etymology of TIGERS
The word "Tigers" has its origins in Old English. It comes from the Old English word "tigras", which was derived from the Latin word "tigris" and the Greek word "tigris". Both the Latin and Greek terms are believed to have been borrowed from a Persian source, possibly from the Old Persian word "tigra" or "tigrā" meaning "arrow". This connection to arrows might be due to the tiger's swift and agile nature, resembling the speed of an arrow. The word "Tigers" has remained relatively unchanged throughout various languages and has become the commonly accepted term for one of the world's most recognized and powerful feline species.
