There’s a rustle in the tall grass and the deer swings his head in a wide arc to investigate what had made the noise but that was a grave mistake. A slim Tiger pounces from behind and aims for the neck and another Tiger pounces and has razor sharp teeth able to snap bones easily but the deer still has chance because it can out run the hungry Tigers. 

In Term four in library we have been learning about animal adaptation. Adaption means to change a behaviour or something inside your body to help you survive or maybe something has changed in there environment so they would have to adapt to that environment. Kinds of adaptations are behavioural, structural and physiological. In library I have been researching the Siberian Tiger. 

Name and classification

 of the Tiger is that the proper name for tiger is Panthera Tigris.

Description of their environment 

They are found in Rainforests, Grasslands, Savanna’s and Mangrove Swamps.

Physical appearance 

Every stripe on a Tiger is different. A adult Tiger can grow up to 13 feet and weigh up to 650 pounds.

Diet

Tigers are carnivores and they eat termites, elephant calves, monkeys, crabs, snakes and fish.

Structural adaptations

Tigers have a multi coloured striped coat to help them blend in with the environment so they hunt easier. Tigers are capable of hearing infrasound. The Siberian Tiger has limbs specialised to leap higher then other tigers.

Behavioural Adaptations 

Tigers go in water backwards because they don’t want to get they faces wet. Tigers pee on trees to mark there territory. They also scratch trees to show there territory and show where they’ve been. Tigers are nocturnal  creatures which means they only come out night.
