Most tigers have an orange coat with dark brown or black stripes accented with white. A tiger's paw prints are called pug marks. This is mainly because in the forest, a single tiger can sneak up and surprise it's prey better than a group of tigers could. Tigers mark their territories by spraying bushes and trees with a special mixture of urine and scent gland secretions. They also leave scratch marks on trees.
Tigers use their tails to communicate with other tigers.
All about Tigers Tigers are the biggest cats in the world. They can live in practically any climate, no matter how hot or cold. The size of a tiger's territory depends on the amount of food available, and usually ranges from about 10 to 30 square miles. Although tigers like to live alone, their territories can overlap with other tiger territories. A male tiger's territory usually overlaps those of several female tigers.
