- 老虎是親水的貓科動物
老虎是一種非常親水的貓科動物，喜歡泡在水裡，擅長游泳，最遠一天可以遊29公里。河邊生長的植物非常茂密，為老虎捕獵提供了至關重要的掩蔽。河流對於老虎的種群擴散和個體生存繁衍，都有著特別的意義，因此老虎總是傍水而生的。在熱帶地區，天熱的季節，老虎常把身體半淹在小河和池塘裡，度過白天的大部分時間，以躲避酷暑。
- Tigers Love to Swim
Well, now try to put your cat into the pool. I’m pretty sure your cat will be scared to death and try to find the land right after. Yup, most cats hate water, but tigers love it. They are different. They live with it, play in it, and hunt in it.
- 老虎有抗菌唾液
老虎舌頭上的肉刺也是能用來捕食獵物的，因為這些肉刺能幫助它幫獵物身上的毛髮去掉。值得一提的是，老虎的唾液中還含有一定的抗菌成分，當一隻老虎舔傷口時，唾液不僅乾淨，而且也消毒該區域，所以它在捕食獵物時或者給自己整理毛髮時都不用擔心“病從口入”這個問題。
- Tigers Have Antiseptic Saliva
No surprise, most of you probably think that saliva is full of bacteria produced by microbial growth in the mouth or even worse, I can use the word “disgusting” for it. Well, that is not true at all. Our saliva is 90 percent water. The remaining one percent, however, contains numerous substances important for digestion, and dental health.
Just like the human’s saliva, tigers also have the same. But it goes more advanced than us, as tigers’ saliva is all about antiseptic. When a tiger licks his wounds, the saliva doesn’t just clean, but also disinfects the area too.
- 老虎很少咆哮
老虎只會咆哮與遠方的其他老虎交流。當受到威脅時，他們會像家貓一樣嘶嘶作響。
- Tigers Rarely Roar
I guess most of you think that big cats often roar in many conditions. Well, tigers don’t. Tigers only roar to communicate with other tigers far away. You will never see them roar even if they feel threatened just like what the lions do. Instead, they will hiss similar to a house cat.
- 老虎有一個國王的中國象徵
老虎額頭上的標記與國王的漢字相同。
- Tigers Should be the Real King of the Jungle
I don’t feel it right if the title “king” is given to the lion, as the fact that tigers have one aspect that can represent them as the real king of the jungle. Now, look at the markings that appear on their forehead, you should find one letter that is the same as the Chinese character for “king”.
- 如果凝視著老虎，牠就不會想殺你
老虎喜歡埋伏突擊獵物。透過注視老虎，就像是在告訴老虎你知道牠的位置，這會降低老虎發動攻擊的可能性。（但建議還是不要輕易嘗試。）
- Look into the Eyes of the Tiger; They don’t like losing the element of Surprise
If you ever encounter a tiger in the wild (or if you do one in your dreams :-)), look in the eyes and slowly back far, far away while keeping eye contact with him and he is less likely to kill you. Chances are you’re in his territory and he wants you to leave more than he wants to eat you. Tigers prefer to hunt by ambush, so by looking a tiger in the eyes you are showing him you know he is there. Now he has lost the element of surprise, and will most likely go find something else to feast on.
- 老虎的吼叫聲足以讓你癱瘓
老虎有一種「地獄」般的吼叫聲，這非常響亮，能夠在兩英里（約3.22公里）外聽到這個吼叫聲。但是老虎還有另一項秘密武器，牠們會產生低頻重低音吼叫聲，即便人類無法聽見，這個致命聲響卻是結合了震破耳膜和尖銳咆哮的效果，會使人類瞬間癱瘓。
- A tiger’s roar can temporarily paralyse human
A tiger has one hell of a roar. For one thing, it’s very (very) loud – a tiger’s roar can be heard from two miles away. But tigers have another secret weapon. They can produce low pitched infrasound growls that are so deep that humans can’t hear them – though they sure can feel them. It’s this killer combination of an ear-splitting roar and a penetrating growl that causes momentary paralysis in humans.
