Introduction
Tigers have always been fascinating animals to watch. Perhaps it is the way that they quietly stalk their prey, as they gracefully move through the tall grass. Or maybe it is the long leaps they take when they pounce on their victim.
One of their most recognizable features is their bright orange colored fur and black stripes. But did you know that there is a reason for these black stripes? Do you know why the tigers have these black stripes?
You may know that the tiger is a descendant of the saber tooth tiger. But did you know that the tigers weren’t always the size that you see today? Or do you know how many types of tigers exist today? Were you aware that a new species of tiger was identified and named as recently as 2004?
Are you aware that all of the tigers are on the endangered species list, and run a risk of becoming extinct? There are laws in place worldwide to save and protect these big cats. Some tigers live in very remote regions, and there is so much we still can learn about these amazing creatures.
Welcome to the world of tiger, as we explore the many regions they live in, and learn more about these powerful, skillful hunters.

Seems to be a least a bit of misinformation
This was good. However, I did want to say that this book mentions the Maltese tiger (aka the Blue tiger) as if it’s a proven subspecies of tiger. There have been sighting’s reported but it’s never been proved that they exist. It pretty much seems like it’s possibly a myth, and even if they do exist, how do we know it’s a subspecies? I’m wondering if it could be like white tigers, which that’s to do with genetic mutations.
Also, according to WWF there are actually only 2 subspecies of tigers (the continental and the Sunda), so what this book lists as other subspecies, I guess, would be referred to as types or breeds of tigers? But not subspecies. So basically we don’t know if the Maltese tiger exists and if it does it might not be it’s own breed of tiger. It could just be an already proven breed that has certain genes that alter the tigers’ colouring. I’m not a tiger expert, I just googled this and looked into it after questioning the legitimacy of the so called “blue tiger”.
I liked the images inside and I had a good time reading it for the 4th round of Believathon.
