Tigers

The tiger is the biggest of the four big cats. Reaching up to 3.3 metres (11 ft) in total length, weighing up to 300 kg (660 lb), and having canines up to 4 inches long. Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur. Tigers have a lifespan of ten to fifteen years but can live 20 years in captivity. Three of the nine subspecies have gone extinct and the remaining six are classified as endangered. This is one of the most beautiful cats and people keep killing it for many reasons. Almost every part of it can be sold including the fur and claws.
