Animal Project - Tiger (CM)

Scientific name: Panthera Tigris.

Tigers are mammals.

They have orange fur, white patches, and black stripes. The stripes help the tigers to camouflage. 

Tigers are unique - no two tigers have the same stripes.

They are apex predators.

Tigers are carnivores and their diet consists of deer, birds, monkeys, fish and wild boar.

Tigers are endangered - in 2015, the global tiger population was between 3,062 and 3,984.

Tigers are found all over the world in places such as the Himalayas, Bali, Serbia, and India. They live in habitats such as tropical jungles.

India has the largest tiger population.

Different types of tigers include Bengal, Caspian, South China, Siberian, and Sumatran.

Bengal tigers live in India and are the most common tiger in the world.

Siberian tigers are the world's largest cats whilst Sumatran tigers are the smallest tigers.

Male tigers vary in length from 8ft to 12ft and weigh between 90 and 300 kg. Females vary in length from 6ft to 9ft and weigh between 65 and 167kg.

Tigers can climb trees and can swim in lakes and rivers, which helps them to cool down in the heat.

A group of tigers is called a streak.

Tigers can live to the age of 26 in the wild.

A baby tiger is called a cub.

A tiger's roar can be heard as far as 3 kilometers.

Animal Project - Jellyfish (Megan's example)

Image
Despite their name, jellyfish are not fish - they are invertebrates (animals with no backbones). They have stinging cells in their tentacles, which paralyse their prey before eating them.  Jellyfish live in oceans and float in the water. The size of jellyfish can range from 2 centimetres to 7 feet. Jellyfish are 98% water. They eat other sea animals and algae. Types of jellyfish include Box Jellyfish, Deep-Sea Jellyfish, Irukandji Jellyfish, and Moon  Jellyfish. A group of jellyfish is called a smack. Some jellyfish are clear whilst others are blue, yellow, pink, and purple. Additionally, jellyfish can be bioluminescent, which means that they can produce their own light. Jellyfish have no bones, brain, or heart.  Their body is controlled by a nervous system.
