thomas & his cousin paper bear & tigers





 
 Did      you     know        tigers     mixed     with     lions      are       called        ligers?  In   this     paper   I   will   tell  you  all  about  tigers.

Tigers     have      long     teeth.     They    eat      meat.     Tigers    stalk     prey     silently.    The   tiger’s   stripes     help       them      hide.   Tigers      live     in    the    grasslands        and      forest.  Tigers   are    good   swimmers.    Tigers     roar     too!



 Humans and tigers usually do not get along. Hungry   tigers     usually     attack      from    behind   because    many    cats   are    killed for   their    fur.   There   are  more      tigers in  zoos   then    in  the   wild. This is because humans move into the tiger’s home and push them out. We   need     to       save    tigers   because   they   are   part of   nature .
