TAIL:
A tiger's tail is 3 to 4 feet long, about half
as long as its body. Tigers use their tails
for balance when they run through fast turns.
They also use their tails to communicate with
other tigers.
Territorial Size: The size of a tiger's territory
depends on how much prey there is to eat. For
example, in some parts of India where there
is plenty of prey, a male tiger only needs eight
to sixty square miles . In Sumatra, where there
is less prey, a male tiger may need as much
as 150 square miles. And in Siberia, where there
is little prey to be found, male tiger territories
are as large as 400 square miles
