Tigers are powerful predators that mainly eat large animals like wild pigs and cows. They have a strong sense of smell but sometimes need multiple attempts to catch prey, eating up to 60 pounds of meat in one night. Tigers exhibit different behaviors like enjoying swimming and having unique stripe patterns. They communicate and establish territory using vocal and visual signals. Once killed, tigers will drag their prey to a secure location to eat. There are only about 7,000 tigers remaining worldwide and they are classified as an endangered species due to threats like habitat loss and poaching for traditional medicine and skins.
