Tigers are members of the cat family. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and house cats are also members of the cat family. Tigers are the largest cats, and the only cats with stripes. They live in large forests in southern and southeastern Asia.

A tiger’s short fur is usually colored dark orange with black stripes. Each tiger has different stripes, and you can use them to tell tigers apart. The stripes make a tiger stand out if you see them in the open. In the forests where tigers live, however, the stripes make them almost invisible.

Tigers have explosive speed. They have strong muscles and long legs that help them move extremely fast over short distances. Their long tails give them balance while running fast. Powerful jaws and sharp teeth help tigers grab and kill prey once they catch it.

Tigers eat the largest animals they can catch. They hunt wild boars, deer, wild cows, young elephants, and young rhinos. Tigers also kill farmers’ cows and goats. Tigers prefer to avoid people. Sometimes they attack and kill people, but only if they can’t find other food.Tigers hunt alone. They usually hunt at night. Tigers will travel 6 to 20 miles (10 to 30 kilometers) in one night while searching for prey.

Tigers sneak up on their prey. They use the trees and grass to hide. A tiger slowly and silently sneaks until its prey is about 30 feet (about 10 meters) away. The tiger then lunges, lightning-fast, and grabs the animal in its paws and wrestles it to the ground. It sinks its teeth into the animal’s neck to kill it. The tiger then drags the dead animal to a hiding place. The tiger will eat for two or three days until the meat is gone. On average, a tiger must kill once every eight days to avoid starving. Even though tigers are built to hunt, they are only successful in 1 out of 10 or 20 hunts!

Tigers roar to scare other tigers away. A tiger’s roar tells other tigers to keep out of its hunting ground. Tigers also use smells and scratch marks to mark their territory.

48. Which statement is true about tiger?A. Tigers are tame animals.B. Tigers hunt their prey in group.

C. Tigers roar to frighten people away.D. Tigers’ long tails give them balance

while running fast.

49. How do tigers grab and kill their prey?A. By theirPowerful jaws and sharp teeth.B. By their strong muscles and long legs.

C. By their long tails and sharp claws.D. By their short fur and black stripes
