The Tiger is the largest big cat. They are also the most powerful cats too. As you see in the picture, tigers are orange, sometimes white with black stripes. Tigers are the only big cat to have stripes. Their stripes help them camouflage into their surroundings. Tigers eat deer, cattle and wild boar. They also eat snakes, buffalo, leopards, camels, and sometimes crocodiles. Their only predators are humans (to an adult). Unlike other cats, tigers love the water. Though it depends. Some species of tiger would spend hours in the water, swimming in it and splashing around. But other s, like the Amur Tiger would only take a sip of water and then they would leave. Personally, I love tigers.
Lions may be the only wild cats that are social. A group of lions are called prides. One group of lions can have up to 40 members. Lions are referred to as "king of the jungles." Lions are carnivores. They eat zebra, antelope and wildebeest. Asiatic lions eat goats and buffalo. Male lions have manes. The bigger and darker the mane, the more likely females will mate with him. The mane also protects the neck of a male lion when he fights with other males. The lions closest relatives are the tigers, snow leopards, jaguars and leopards.
