Unlike some big cats like lions, adult tigers like to live alone. Except for mother tigers with cubs. The average litter of a tiger is two to three cubs, the largest is five. One usually dies at birth. Tiger cubs are born blind and weigh only about two to three pounds, depending on the subspecies.
Tigers prey on wild pig, wild deer, and wild cattle.
They eat about ten pounds of meat a day and as much as forty pounds at one time. There territory size depends on the amount of food available, and usually ranges from about 10 to 30 square miles. Siberian tigers sometimes have really big territories, and have been known to be as big as 120 square miles. Megan M. is a Kid's Korner's staff writer.
