tigers

by Kate and Ella

tigers are mainly found in south asia

the normal tiger weighs up to 720 pounds or 363 kilograms they are normally recognized by their reddy-orange coat with dark stripes. they can even stretch them sevles up to 6 feet or 2 meters and their tail can grow up to 3 feet or 1 meters. they mainly hunt alone and they can bring down and kill prey like deer and antelope by them selves. tigers love hunting at night. if the pray that their hunting is bigger than them they will bite its neck and if its smaller than it it will break its neck one tiger can eat up to 60 pounds of meat in one night.

they dont eat all of the meat at once they eat about 12 pounds per meal. the tiger might not eat all the meat in one day they eat until they are full.

when they are full they cover their catch with dirt leaves and grassand comes back to it when its hungry until all the meat is gone. unlike most big cats tigers like being in water. they love having little swims to cool off. all tigers are really endangered they are manly harmed by humans because we're cutting down their habitat.

I chose to do tigers because I love all big cats and I have always wondered how they live and how they are endangered.

MEERKATS

Meerkats are animals that live in deserts and also in grasslands of the Southern tip of Africa. These extremely social animals live together in burrows. These burrows can be 16 feet/5 meters. They stand on their back legs so they can see further, to get higher to look for predators and other meerkats. Meerkats only go outside during the daytime.each morning,as the sun comes up,the mob emerges and

begins looking for food. They average about 20 inches (50 centimeters) long including their, tail.

Several babysitters stay behind to watch newborn pups. A sentry who senses danger will let out a high-pitched squeal, sending the mob scrambling for

cover. Meerkats dig safe places called bolt-holes throughout their area. There are a few animals on earth who work together pretty well.
