  • Interest Level: Grade 4 - Grade 8
  • Reading Level: Grade 5

The tiger is one of nature’s most perfect predators. With their long teeth,(up to 2.5 inches!) tigers have killed more people than any other mammal. They live in a wide variety of habitats, with temperatures ranging from –30 to 118 degrees F. In spite of their adaptable nature and skillful hunting, tigers are nearly extinct. Three of the eight varieties of tigers are completely extinct, with the other five precariously hanging on. Humans have hunted tigers for centuries and are now destroying their habitats.

Reviews

Science Books & Films

“His writing, descriptive without becoming a dull tangle of uninteresting data, gives the reader a vivid mental picture of what a tiger is and how it lives. Overall, this book is exceptionally well done and would serve well not only for the youngster who simply is fascinated by tigers, but also for students who need materials to support their studies.”
