Strange knowledge.

1. Tigers are not the largest cats in the world.

Tigers are not the largest cats in the world, they are the largest cats in the wild.

Generally speaking, among tigers living in the wild, male tigers are more majestic than female tigers, with a body length of more than 3 meters and a weight of more than 300 kilograms. They are the largest cats in the wild.

2. Tigers can really "take the mountain as king".

According to the research of scientists, the ambition of tigers should not be underestimated, and their territory ranges from 20 square kilometers to 1,000 square kilometers.

3. The night vision of tigers is several times that of humans.

Cats usually have good night vision, and tigers are no exception. According to the research of zoologists, the night vision of tigers is about 6 times that of humans.

The powerful night vision ability allows tigers to hunt easily in the dark, which greatly enhances the competitiveness of tigers to occupy the top position of the food chain.

4. Tigers don’t just live in forests.

Although tigers are known as "kings of the forest", they don't live in the forest as we think. They are highly adaptable to the environment and have an extensive footprint in many countries in Asia.
