10 COOL ABILITIES

The Siberian tigers are so large that they can grow up to 4 metres and weight almost about 32 kg. Their weight might slow down themselves when catching their pray, but they have mighty teeth that are called cannies. These cannies are 12 cm long and can bring down deer and wild boar while shearing. After it caught its prey, an adult can chow down on about 27 kg in one sitting but they can do this by their back teeth. These back teeth are called carnassials and allows the tiger to slice up large chunks of meat. In fact, the Siberian tiger don't chew, they simply swallow. However, in order to find their prey and not allow them to spot them, you need a good camouflage. With the stripes on their body, it'll take forever to hunt the tigers down. However, the patterns are broken when hit by light thus allowing them to hide very well. During the hot days, the Siberian tiger can be found in water. The Siberian tiger tend to cool off in the water in fact, the Siberian tiger loves swimming that it can swim uo to 4-6 km. The soft looking paws allows the Siberian tiger to leap and jump without making a sound and stalking thus making it extremely stealth. On their paws, they have four claws that are called hindclaws. These claws are used for killing large prey or defending against another tiger's attack.


The continuous characteristics are:
The amount of eating because all Siberian tigers have certain diets
The cannies and the carnassials because they will grow up to the maximum size when its an adult
The stripes and the broken pattern because there are born with it
 Found in water and swimming in water because those are their kind of hobby and a way to survive from the heat.
Swallowing large chunks of food because that is the way Siberian tigers have been eating ever since
Soft paws because all tigers are born with this feature.
Hindclaws are also a feature that all cubs are born with.

The discrete characteristics:
The length and the weight because they have a tiger may be smaller or bigger and the habitat depends on the weight.
