tiger - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

conservation of elephants

The orange-gold of the tiger, with its black velvet artist stripes, was a proud sight amid the tall grasses and sunbathing rocks.

There is something about the tiger, a poem of liberty in its genes, a sense that it was born to roam and breathe clean air all of its days and nights.

The tiger was chocolate spread on marmalade, as if God had infused paddington bear with a kitty cat and made it every bit as splendid as its lion cousins.

Shining from those golden eyes was a knowledge of this wild place and a sense that it was all the home a tiger could ever wish for.

Describing a Tiger

This post describes a tiger in a rainforest in three levels. Level 1 is for beginners, Level 3 is for intermediate learners and Level 5 is for advanced English speakers. It uses the five senses as much as possible. For much more of these types of posts, please check out my new book Writing with Stardust by clicking the book title or the images below. It comes with a spelling workbook as well.

Enough of that, however, and let us talk about tigers. At the bottom of the post are 20 interesting facts about tigers (largest tiger, worst man eaters, greatest tiger hunters etc.). First of all, let me clear something up right now. A tiger would kick a lion’s butt in a fight. I know this because I researched it and found out that the Roman civilians watching fights in the Coliseum tended to bet on the tiger and usually won. As regards a bear, you will have to read the rest of the post. Happy hunting……….

TIGER: LEVEL 1

glowing, amber eyes	almost invisible	roared/growled	large and heavy head
rippling muscles	ghost silent	fierce and savage	razor sharp teeth
flicked his tail	leaped at me	striped fur	Bengal tiger
deadly movements	paws like saucers	top predator	powerful legs
prowling/creeping	flame and coal colour	powerful/fearless	I felt fear/terror

1. A tiger has glowing, amber eyes and he is scary.

2. His muscles ripple when he walks.

3. He usually flicks his tail before he leaps at you.

4. His movements are deadly and he prowls the jungle at night. He sometimes hunts by day.

5. He is almost invisible because of his striped fur, which blends in with the trees.

6. He is as silent as a ghost and although his paws are as big as saucers, he cannot be heard.

7. His fur is a flame-and–coal mix and he is powerful and fearless.

8. Because of his razor sharp teeth and powerful legs, he is the top predator in the jungle.

9. He has a large and heavy head and his roars and growls are terrifying.

10. If you heard him up close, you would know the meaning of fear and terror.

A TIGER HUNTING A DEER: LEVEL 3

glittering, feline eyes	melted into shadows	snarled/grunted	lumpy, blocky head
a fluid power	phantom silent	fearsome/pitiless	carnivorous incisors
swished his tail	pounced at me	dappled coat	Siberian tiger
padded silently	claws like thorns	alpha animal	outsized paws
skulking/lurking	sunrise orangebat black stripes	terrifyingmajestic	I was quivering/trembling

The tigress is a truly majestic creature. She is the alpha animal in the jungle and for good reason. She moves with a fluid grace that no other animal can match. Padding silently, she can creep up on any creature and kill them with a single swipe of her outsized paws. Once those thorn shaped claws rip at you, it is all but over. She is phantom silent and melts into the bush like molten gold into a cast. When she finds a good ambush site, she lurks in the shadows. Then she waits for prey to pass, observing everything with her glittering, feline eyes. When her target appears, she pounces with a coiled energy that is both fearsome and pitiless.

That is why many explorers and adventurers speak of having fear in the jungle. It is a vast supermarket of food and man-meat is on the menu also. The saw-toothed leaves of the jungle drip with rain and menace alike.

Only once have I seen a tiger hunt. It was in India a few summers back and I had a bird’s eye view from the back of an elephant. I saw the tigress skulking up towards a sambar deer. Her dappled coat was sunrise-orange with bat-black stripes. She had a lumpy, blocky head with large, carnivorous incisors. I feared for the deer when she swished her tail. It was a sign she was going to attack and she did. With a mighty leap, she sprung upon the shellshocked deer. A snarl, a rip, a grunt of satisfaction and it was over. I was just glad it wasn’t me.

A TIGER IN A RAINFOREST: LEVEL 5

smouldering, chatoyant eyes	shadowed camouflage	rumbling/bellowing	convex head
sinewy strength	wraith silent/ phantasmic	feral and implacable	giant, vampirish fangs
whisked his tail	sprang with a coiled energy	transverse stripes	Indochinese tiger
a balletic grace	retractile claws	apex predator	mighty forelimbs
stalking/treading	brass-brilliant fur/like burnished copper	dauntless/indomitablecourage	sense of dreadhad a heartquake

The beauty or the beast? It is hard to tell which is which sometimes, the tiger or the rainforest.

I have walked through jungles where the sun followed us like a lodestar through the tangled heads of the trees. It burned with a blinding exquisiteness that made you shield your eyes and bless your existence. The light was lustrous in the open spaces and seemed undistilled from heaven to earth in the lonely ones. It can seem like a laser show at times as gem clear beams filter through the trees. The warmth of it settles over your face like a silken mask and life is a golden joy. That is the thing about the seraph-light of the jungle; it can sweep down like the handloom of the gods one moment, pure and clear and long of line. Then the day lengthens and shadow and fear takes over. Pure, unadulterated fear.

I have walked through jungles where the witch-light of the shadows can unman you. The trees there were Triassic-tall with heads as thick as megaflora. They loomed over everything, silent and brooding in their leafy reverie. Their boughs were as thick as barrels and reached upwards like the despairing limbs of the damned. Hanging from them were goatees of moss, mangrove-green and swishing with a lazy spite. Pools of shadow formed under those trees and fevered eyes, glazed with hunger, lurked in the carnal-black darkness. I have seen webs which shimmered like the Star of David catching man and beast unawares at night. To see a nest of Godzilla sized spiders scurry out and become bloated from their plunder is to see too much. All the while, an amphitheatre of sounds follows you through such jungles. You have never heard such a maddening cocktail of whoops, squawks, screeches and wails. Nor would you wish to.

I have walked through jungles where the rain came down in an unrelenting torrent for weeks on end. This wasn’t the dinging, pinging rain that you might read about in a storybook. This was biblical rain. You may, quite rightly, harrumph; that rains and rainforests are expected to be bedfellows and to think otherwise is balderdash. Bah humbug, you might remark, and fiddlesticks too. Ah, but you have never walked through a jungle quite like this. This was Noahs-Ark-type rain, a cataclysm of water that fell upon us like the fountain of the gods had overflowed. When it was at its most ardent, it hammered at the waxy ferns like lunatics with pencils. When it was quieter, it sounded like a hose was sprinkling silver nails onto the plants instead of water. In between, it was like walking in a plunking, thumping asylum of sound designed to unhinge you. Our clothes stuck to us like barnacles and grated at us just as much. Our food was wet, our kindling was wet and our spirits were sunken. So much so that one of our party got to his knees, raised his arms aloft and prayed to the heavens to be turned into a dolphin and have done with it. His prayers must have been answered as the rain stopped Forrest-Gumpian-style and was not seen again. When it had finished, the jungle became a paradise on earth.

Yes. I have walked through many jungles but I have only run through one. I will never forget that morning. The jungle had a distinctive smell after a spell of heavy rain. It was a jasmine-and-gingerbread fragrance, a floral fragrance mixed with the loamy must of rotting logs. The mist drifted around the trees in phantasmal veils, slowly burning away. The light filtered through the mist with a spectral aura and we came upon a waterfall of sumptuous size and beauty. We decided to camp there as it had an Arcadian allure rare in the modern world. The infinity pool was as clear as a diamond and as polished as a lady’s mirror. A great chute of water fed this pool and the spray it threw up burned with an ornamental light when the sunbeams caught it. The water tasted seltzer fresh and some of our party went for a swim in the huge pool. Every plant with barb, hook and thorn had tried to rip at us that day and it was good to wash away our cares. The half-light of dusk had not yet arrived and we felt safe. The jungle does not care for the moods of man, however, as we were about to find out.

It started as a rumbling which we were sure was the baritone hum of the waterfall. She must have been stalking us for a while, treading behind us as silent as a wraith. I saw her first and was mesmerised. Her great, convex head poked through a bush on a ridge high above us. A pair of smouldering, chatoyant eyes scanned the party, trying to establish which among us was the easiest of prey. They were feral of gaze and implacable in their hatred of us, two bright orbs of doubloon-gold. She padded out of the vegetation with a balletic grace, shoulders bunched and muscles rippling. Her transverse stripes blended perfectly into her surroundings, breaking up her silhouette. I could see why she was the jungle’s apex predator when she flashed her giant, vampirish fangs at me. She looked deep into my soul, saw the fear, whisked her tail and sprang at me from her lofty perch.

I can tell you now, reader, you have never experienced the terror of a tigress putting you down on her menu of the day. Time slowed down and curiously, as if from a great distance, I admired her savage grandeur as she plunged down. Her colours seemed to ignite in the light, a combustible mix of ember-orange and gunpowder-black. Her mighty forelimbs descended upon me and I could see her retractile claws emerge from their furry pouches. I had a heartquake then and the flight-or-fight response kicked in. I flew. I rolled to one side and got a raking slash down my left arm for my troubles. I was only saved because her ambush height had been so great, she needed time to absorb the impact on her legs. I ran towards the camp screaming at the top of my voice. I hoped and prayed the guards were as alert as they claimed to be. Behind me, I could hear the huffing breath of the tiger come closer and then two shots rang out, followed by a volley of gunfire. I felt a clawed foot slashing my back and then it slipped away. I fell to the ground and my entire body went into convulsions. The adrenaline rush was over and my body was charging me for the price. The tigress lay dead behind me. That was my encounter with a tiger and it is one I never wish to see repeated.

I no longer see the jungle as a place of mist and mystique. I see danger lurking everywhere and the forest’s canopy seems to press down on top of me in a suffocating way. Although I still admire tigers, their burnished-copper coat is not one I wish to see again anytime soon.

TIGER FACTS

1. A tiger can jump 16 feet up from a standing position.

2. He can leap 33 feet (and possibly a lot more) while on the run.

3. A tiger can hurdle a double-decker bus lengthways (if he chooses to do so!).

4. The worst man eater was the Champarat tiger who killed 436 recorded victims in Nepal and India. Jim Corbett, a famous hunter, shot it dead in 1907.

5. The biggest tiger ever recorded in the wild was 12 foot long and weighed 845lbs. It was a Siberian tiger.

6. The biggest Bengal tiger recorded was 11 feet long and weighed 857lbs.

7. There are six species of tiger alive today: Siberian, South China, Indochinese, Malayan, Sumatran and Bengal.

8. Three species have become extinct in the last 60 years: the Javan, Bali and Caspian tigers.

9. There are only about 3,500 tigers left in the wild today. There are 12,000 in captivity in the U.S alone.

10. The word ‘tiger’ comes from a Persian word (‘tigris’) meaning ‘arrow’.

11. The tiger has killed more humans than any other large cat.

12. Siberian tigers are the world’s largest tigers. Their average size is 3.5m and they weigh 300 kilograms plus.

13. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest at 2m and 200 kilograms plus.

14. Modern scientists believe that tigers have a better short term memory than humans. They have a memory dozens of times better than primates and hundreds of times better than dogs. This is probably because they are solitary and their ‘mental map’ of their territory and the habits, location and type of prey items in it needs to be very strong.

15. Lions can mate with tigers to create ‘ligers’. These are the largest cats in the world at a whopping 4m long.

16. Incredibly, they have also been known to mate with leopards in the wild.

17. Tigers have been studied imitating the call of their prey in order to lure them in. In particular, the sambar deer’s mating call has been replicated by many tigers in India.

18. Tigers live for about 25 years on average, both in the wild and captivity. Some can live for 40 years, however.

19. The greatest hunter of all time was Jim Corbett. He killed a total of 33 man-eaters between 1907 and 1938. At least three of these were leopards but we won’t hold it against him! His first hunt for a man-eater ended in the death of mankind’s greatest, known serial killer! The Champarat tiger had killed 436 RECORDED victims. This means there were probably many, many more. Even the Nepalese army had been sent out to kill it but couldn’t. They merely drove it into India where Jim Corbett was waiting……

Jim also killed the Panar leopard (over 400 recorded kills) in 1910.

He also killed the feared Radraprag leopard (126 recorded kills) in 1926.

20. The worst group of man-eaters in history were the lion pride of Njombe in Tanzania. Between 1932 and 1947, they killed at least 1,500 people and maybe as many as 2,000. A very brave hunter called George Rushby eventually killed them one by one. The worst serial killer alive today is probably a crocodile called ‘Gustave’ in Burundi. He is responsible for the deaths of at least 300 people, according to a French herpetologist called Patrick Faye who has been studying him since the late 1990’s. All efforts to capture him have failed, a film called ‘Primeval’ was made about him and he is still out there today terrorising villagers.

And finally. Who would win a fight between a bear and a tiger? A tiger can kill a sloth bear with a single swipe and has been seen to do so many times. In March, 2011 in Ankara, Turkey, a tiger reached into the lion’s enclosure and killed a lion with one swipe, severing his jugular vein. A large tiger is also intelligent enough to reach down and poke out the eye of any crocodile who tries to attack him while he is swimming. On land, he tries to flip over the crocodile in order to disembowel his soft underbelly. This behaviour has also been recorded.

Does this make the tiger the most dangerous large mammal on our planet? Probably not. A polar bear would be a very dangerous adversary for a tiger as he has fur so tough even a tiger would struggle to get through it. Who would win? Probably the polar bear but we will never know as their habitats are so different. If you have thoughts on this or on any other aspects of the post, feel free to share them with me and I will try to respond. Take care for now. Liam.

The Compelling Tales We Tell of Fictional Tigers

Katy yocom on ten enduring stories of an endangered species.

At first I was merely charmed. A tigress at the Louisville Zoo gave birth to a litter of cubs, and I visited weekly, watching them grow from tottering fuzzballs into leaping, pouncing youngsters. The best visits yielded stories: the day little Leela tumbled into a stream and discovered to her astonishment that she could swim. The day Jai and Mohan paraded around single file, one holding the other’s tail between his teeth, looking like characters from Dr. Seuss’s “King Looie Katz.”

I began reading books by naturalists, and they taught me that every encounter with a wild tiger has its own narrative arc. Even if a tiger is resting in the shade, doing nothing in particular, there’s a story there. You see it in the tales of hunting expeditions recounted in the 1944 classic Man-Eaters of Kumaon by Jim Corbett. You see it in Spell of the Tiger by Sy Montgomery, in which the only defense against tiger attack is the intercession of gods.

Those books also confronted me with a truth I already knew, if vaguely: that the fate of tigers hangs in the balance. I still visited the zoo babies, but now I saw their bright faces in the context of an impending disaster.

It’s a fraught thing to get mixed up with an endangered species. My novel, Three Ways to Disappear , grew out of that clash of love and grief. I imagined a character, an American woman who moves to India to work for tiger conservation, driven by the aftereffects of a long-ago family tragedy.

I began to hunt for tiger encounters of my own.

That quest took me halfway around the world, to Ranthambore National Park in the Indian state of Rajasthan, a landscape teeming with wildlife—not only tigers but leopards, langur monkeys, chital deer, wild boar. One cool, sunny morning, I saw a subadult tiger capture an infant deer and lie down with it, uncertain what to do. Finally it picked up the fawn by the back of the neck and carried it into the tall grass.

My memories of these encounters remain indelible. The zoologist Ullas Karanth said, “When you see a tiger, it is always like a dream.” Yes—but a vivid one. Because it could so easily kill us, our senses go on high alert in the presence of a wild tiger. We cannot look away.

Yet we are so close to wiping them out. People are often surprised to learn that fewer than 4,000 wild tigers live in the world today. Their numbers have plummeted since the beginning of the twentieth century, due first to hunting and now to poaching, habitat loss, climate change, and the trade in their body parts for use as medicine—an ironic side effect of their immense charisma and power. It’s not a coincidence that the Sanskrit word for tiger is viagra . And while there are no actual tiger parts in pharmaceutical Viagra, there’s considerable demand in some corners of the world for tiger penis soup to bolster male sexual performance. Tiger bones, brains, whiskers, and claws are also in high demand as remedies for other ailments.

More than one early reader has used the word “longing” in reference to my novel. What they are describing is the tension between my love for tigers and my fear for their fate.

Here are the ten best tigers in fiction.

Yann Martel, Life of Pi

My first tiger as an adult was Richard Parker, and I loved him passionately. True, he wanted to eat Pi, but every time Pi tended to him and Richard Parker allowed it, my heart lifted. The privilege of that contact moved me: the human serving the wild beast. Take that literally or metaphorically—and the novel invites you to decide for yourself—the relationship between Richard Parker and Pi is a master class on storytelling, faith, and the terrible will to live.

R. K. Narayan, A Tiger for Malgudi

An aging Bengal tiger looks back on his eventful life. When he meets a guru, he learns to adopt the way of nonviolence. This slim novel, told from the tiger’s point of view, gives us a life spent evolving, finding companionship, and finally letting go. In the introduction, Narayan writes, “[W]ith a few exceptions here and there, humans have monopolized the attention of fiction writers.” This touching fable asks us to consider that humans aren’t the only animals with individual lives that matter.

Amitav Ghosh, The Hungry Tide

Tigers in the Sundarbans archipelago are known man-eaters, killing villagers and eating their livestock. In Ghosh’s novel, tigers and human communities clash in this dangerous waterscape. When a marauding tiger is murdered, the predicament is illuminated: If the tiger’s death is to be lamented, what about the deaths of its victims—or are they too poor to matter?

Fiona McFarlane, The Night Guest

Like many tigers, the one in The Night Guest is unseen but vividly felt. Ruth, widowed and slipping, senses him some nights in her house; her cats feel him, too. He’s a dream, but he isn’t. At the same time, a “government carer” arrives and establishes herself as an ever-larger presence in Ruth’s home. This novel—by turns comic and suspenseful—takes on trust, dependence, and the aftereffects of colonialism. If a tiger can be an emissary, this one is it.

Téa Obreht, The Tiger’s Wife

Spooked by falling bombs during the Second World War, a tiger escapes from a zoo and haunts the forest above a village, where he soon forms a bond with a young deaf-mute woman. When she later appears pregnant, villagers deduce that she has become the tiger’s wife. This tiger, whom villagers call the Devil, is less a demon than a mirror for their own war-inflected terrors.

Julio Cortázar, “Bestiary”

In this 1951 tale from Argentina, young Isabel is sent to spend the summer at a home in which a tiger lives. The unseen beast rules the household; before anyone enters a room, someone must determine that the tiger isn’t currently occupying it. But Isabel’s hosts shrug off the predicament; the house has many rooms, after all, and the tiger can only be in one of them. A timeless—and timely—allegory for how we shape our lives to accommodate chaos and repression.

Jorge Luis Borges, “Blue Tigers”

My own book cover features a leaping blue tiger, so inevitably I was drawn to this short story, though its “tigers” are actually blue stones that multiply and disappear spontaneously, horrifying the narrator, who takes their mutability as a curse. Even so, the rumor of actual blue tigers puts the story in motion, and in literature, tigers excel at making things happen.

Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book

When I discovered The Jungle Book , I was upset that Shere Khan is cast as Mowgli’s enemy. Shere Khan is vilified for breaking the Law of the Jungle. Born lame, he mostly kills cattle. The other animals call him “Butcher,” but to me, the condemnation rings false.

A. A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

Tigger is a cheery fellow, if unsure of his identity. Spotting himself in Pooh’s looking-glass, he exclaims, “I’ve found somebody just like me. I thought I was the only one of them.” (Did Milne intend this as a commentary on extinction? Doubtful, but it’s not a bad one.) Like all literary tigers, Tigger is a chaos generator, but an endearing one, cluelessly disrupting the routines and repressions that help other animals feel safe.

Peter Brown, Mr. Tiger Goes Wild

The thing about repression is that the spirit eventually rebels. In this charming picture book, Mr. Tiger can no longer bear the strictures of his drab Victorian town. Next thing you know, he loses his top hat—then his entire suit of clothes—and takes to the wilderness. But his romps become lonely. Returning to town, he brings his subversive ways back with him; the other town animals see the appeal, and a happy compromise is struck. An Apollonian-Dionysian parable about finding balance where you live.

How To Write An Essay On The Tiger For Classes 1, 2 & 3

Key Points To Note: Essay On The Tiger For Lower Primary Classes

Essay in 10 lines on the tiger, short essay on the tiger, long essay on the tiger, why are tigers important to the environment, interesting facts about tigers for kids, what will your child learn from an essay on the tiger.

Tigers are magnificent animals that amaze people with their nimbleness and raw power, unmatched by other animals. Tigers are really large cats and belong to the same family as the domesticated cats we are all familiar with. Children are often asked to write about the tiger, our national animal, for an essay writing assignment in class and exams. The key to writing great essays about a topic such as this is to write good facts in an interesting manner such that the reader is intrigued. Let us guide your child on how to write an essay on tigers for classes 1, 2 and 3 in different formats. You can refer to these interesting facts to add to your own essay on the topic.

Here are some important tips on how to write an essay on tigers:

An essay on the tiger should be rich in facts about the animal.
Talk about the tiger’s ecosystem, physical characteristics and general behaviour in short essays.
Longer essays need to have an introductory and concluding paragraph.
You can go deeper into their habitat, classification, and conservation ideas in longer essays.

Essays in single lines are the simplest to write for children who are introduced to essay writing. Here is an example of a tiger essay for classes 1 and 2:

Tigers are the largest cats in the feline family. They are one of the strongest animals in the jungle.
Tigers are carnivorous animals. They hunt different types of prey for food.
They have four powerful legs and soft paws that help them walk without making any sound. The paws have long and sharp claws used to grab and kill prey.
Tigers pounce on their prey and bite the neck to hunt their prey.
Tigers have orange and black stripes that act as camouflage in the jungle. They are able to hide from their prey because of these stripes.
The roar of a tiger can be heard 3 kms away!
In the wild, tigers live a healthy life for 26 years. But when they are kept in a zoo, they can only live for 16- 18 years.
Tigers can eat 25 – 27 kg of flesh in one hunt.
The female tigers are called “tigress”, and their babies are called “cubs”.
The tiger is the national animal of India.

Short essays on Tigers are a little more advanced for children. They form the stepping stones to long essays. Here is an example of a short of an essay on the tiger:

The tiger is India’s National Animal. These big, majestic cats are known for their daunting looks, powerful hunting skills and the fear they strike in all living beings, including humans. Tigers belong to the feline family. Their scientific name is Panthera Tigris. There are different subspecies of tigers worldwide that look slightly different from one another. Tigers are endangered animals as their population has decreased due to hunting, poaching and habitat destruction.

Tigers occupy the dominant position in their ecosystems as apex predators. They hunt all kinds of prey, including those that are several times their size. These carnivores are stealthy hunters. They have striped patterns that work as camouflage in the forest. They also have soft padded feet that help them move quietly. Their powerful legs, sharp claws and strong jaws with huge canine teeth are all designed to bring down their prey. Tigers are magnificent animals that are both fascinating and scary.

Essay On Tiger For Children - 10 Lines, Short and Long Essay

Long essays on the tiger require students to research the topic before attempting to write. Here is an example of how to write a long essay on tigers for class 3:

The tiger is a big jungle cat known for its hunting prowess. Being part of the feline family, they are related to other big cats such as lions and leopards. Their scientific name is Panthera Tigris. They are carnivorous in nature and are mostly found in dense jungles around the world in places such as South East Asia, China, Russia and Africa. In India, the Bengal Tiger is popular and lives in the swamps and mangroves on the coast. The Siberian tiger is an exceptional species as it thrives in the frozen areas of Russia. They have extra fur as a protection from the cold and look different from other tigers.

Tigers are apex predators in every environment they live in. They hunt a wide variety of prey, starting from small mammals such as rabbits and wild boars to large prey such as deer and wilder beasts. Because of their proximity to civilisations, tigers have also developed a taste for livestock. In some parts of the world, where they face scarcity of prey in the jungle, they also hunt humans. Tigers give birth to two or three offspring at a time. The mother stays with the cubs until they grow older and are able to fend for themselves.

Tigers in all parts of the world are endangered because of habitat destruction and poaching. Hunting tigers was a sport and entertainment for affluent thrill-seekers a few decades ago. It is highly important to impart education about the conservation of these beautiful animals as they play an important role in the environment. About a hundred years ago, the total number of tigers in the wild was more than 1,00,000. Estimates say that only about 4,000 tigers are left in the wild today. Protecting tigers and increasing their numbers is important for their ecosystems and future generations.

Every animal plays a role in the environment that is hard to understand completely. They form a link in the chain that affects the stability of the whole environment. Tigers are the apex predators of their ecosystems. They help regulate the population of several animals. If the population of the prey animals, like deers, goes unchecked, they might end up over-grazing the vegetation, which can cause the collapse of the whole ecosystem. In this way, tigers play a role in regulating the population of all the organisms in the ecosystem.

Here are some interesting facts that can be incorporated into essays:

Tigers are the largest cat species, with a total length of 3.3 meters from nose to tail. They can weigh up to 300 kg.
Tigers are the most recognisable of the big cats with their orange and black stripes.
The Bengal tiger is the most common tiger species in India.
Tigers are solitary creatures. They live alone and only seek other tigers during the mating season.
Tigers are excellent swimmers, unlike most other big cats. They can also pursue their prey in rivers and lakes.
Tiger cubs start learning how to hunt when they are six months old. They also stay with their mother until they are about 18 months old.
Tigers frequently hunt large animals in the wild. They are known to go after elephants, crocodiles and even leopards!

By studying these essays, your children will be able to gather facts for their own write-up and even learn how to put the facts together. Essay writing is an important skill for all children in school. These essays on the wild animal tiger are informative and suited for school kids.

Tigers are amazing animals that fascinate both adults and children alike. When gathering facts about tigers and writing about them, children will learn the importance of the wild animal and will understand the ecosystem better. They will be sensitised to the need for conservation.

Kids Love this Tigers Writing Prompt-Rescued and Cared For

This tigers writing prompt teaches young writers about conservation and the proper care of tigers.

*This post contains affiliate links. For more information, see my disclosures here .*

Wildcats Writing Prompt

Kids love wildcats! If you have a location near you that houses wildcats, definitely read on and find out how you can use any one or all of my wildcats lessons with your students.

Here in North Carolina we have the Carolina Tiger Rescue . They receive large cats that people decide they can’t handle as pets. Their mission is to discourage people from attempting to domesticate such wonderful creatures.

My colleague, Kim (owner of Artz Hub ) and I were inspired by our successful partnership with the Duke Lemur Center and wanted to branch out. The Carolina Tiger Rescue seemed like a natural fit for our book creation camps and so we were thrilled when they agreed to partner with us, too. We started holding art and writing workshops and summer camps at their location.

Support Their Mssion-Conservation and Education

Part of the partnership is that we incorporate their mission into our art and writing lessons. So, the wild cat writing lessons are ones that I have actually conducted at their facility with children. If you have a similar location near you, or even a zoo that houses wild cats, I’d strongly encourage you to plan a visit so the children can learn more.

Then, use any of the Wild Cat prompts as a follow up activity! This tigers writing prompt focuses on the conservation and care of tigers.

Now for the lesson!

To get a full understanding on how I conduct each writing lesson you may want to read the Writing Prompts Introduction post. The tigers writing prompt lesson outlined below (and all other prompts posted) will make more sense and be easier to follow and use. Here’s the lined paper I use for Grades K-2 and Grades 2-7

Tell the Story Line

Tell the story line: “The tiger has a flashback/dream of when he/she was at a roadside zoo in miserable conditions. The story tells how the tiger is brought to the Carolina Tiger Rescue where it is taken very good care of.”

Show the 5 Sections

Birth and Roadside Zoo

Remember: K-1 st Graders are encouraged to write 1 sentence for each section, 2 nd Graders 2 sentences, 3 rd Graders 3 sentences and so on.

Now to write!

Guide the children through the following steps so their story is organized and complete. They are free to write these ideas in their own words.

Leave the top line open to write a title later.
Start the story with something the tiger hears every day in his life at the roadside zoo. (e.g. “Five dollars! Five dollars! Live tiger photos!” or Vroom. Screech. Vroom. Vroom. “10 dollars to see live tigers” or “Look! Tiger!” Flash! )
(Name the tiger) woke up. Describe his comfortable home.
(Time ago) (Tiger’s name) was born and taken to a roadside zoo.
Explain the terrible conditions such as barren cages, being underfed and having bad shelter.
Describe the incident when he got very sick and there was no proper vet care.
Then, explain how he arrived to the Carolina Tiger Rescue.
Next, describe the positive care, enough food, enrichment activities and great veterinarian care at the Carolina Tiger Rescue.
Conclude with the tiger’s happiness.

EASY ART ACCENTS

As soon as student complete their tigers writing prompt, they can begin filling in their border with the Tiger Stripes art accent as soon as they’re finished with their writing. This easy tiger stripes art accent is highly motivating to writers and rewards them for their work!

In addition, they add color and charm to each child’s story. Like most of our easy art accents, these tiger stripes can be completed in less than 5 minutes and added to any writing piece about tigers.

For example, my 5 and 1/2 year old son wrote a personal narrative about his time at the Carolina Tiger Rescue. Here’s his work:

Tigers writing prompt, Stripes Art accent sample

Bordered Paper

For all of my writing classes, students write on bordered paper. That way they can decorate the border around their writing with an art accent . You can print and use this paper as well. Here is the paper for Grades K-2 and Grades 2-7 . Here’s a printout of a border with no lines to use with very early writers .

First, students complete their story. Then, they use an orange marker to color the border. They can fill in the top as well or leave it blank to write the title with marker or ABC stickers* .

Second, they use a black marker to color in the stripes. They could use black acrylic paint as well. (That’s what my son used in the example at the top.)

However, I found that markers are easiest and work best with large groups.

Lastly, children can ABC stickers* or markers to spell out a title if they left room at the top.

Here is a sample to print and use.

GAMES TO PLAY!

Wild cats are a big hit every year at my summer writing camps. Here students unscramble the names of wild cats using letter tiles. You can read my full post on different ways to use letter tiles here .

Writers can unscramble the wild cat names using the letter tiles. Or, they can simply unscramble the words by writing them on small white boards as well. The letter tiles are just another fun way to practice the words! (You can use letter tiles from old Scrabble games or you can purchase different color sets of 100 wooden letter tiles online at Amazon. Here’s the link* .)

There are 10 different cats at the Carolina Tiger Rescue so those are the names I used. I made a document listing all 10 cats (9 plus the tiger in the logo) so they had something to refer to. Here are the 10 Cats for you to download and use. I print one for each group and slide it in a plastic page protector* so it can be reused many times.

I give each group of 2-3 children a box of letter tiles.

letter tiles to spell the names of wild cats

On the white board at the front of the group. I write the letters to one of the cats in a scrambled fashion.

The children race to form the word with their letter tiles.

The game continues until they’ve completed all 10 names or the allotted time runs out!

Tiger Essay for Students in English

Essay on the Tiger

There are plenty of wild animals in this world, and one of them is the Tiger. In Hindi, it is called Baagh. The tiger is a wild animal. Its scientific name is Panthera tigris. It belongs to the family “Felidae” and is the largest living species of cats. Its appearance is distinct with its outer body covered with orange-brown fur with black stripes running vertically on it. It is a carnivore and feeds on the flesh of animals it hunts. It is mostly found in the Indian subcontinent. In this essay on tiger, its behaviour, diet, hunting practices and other characteristics shall be discussed. Today it is an endangered animal, and that’s why students must learn about its habitat and other characteristics.

Learn about the wildest creature on the Vedantu to become familiar with its life and the nature around it.

Habitat and Physical Features

Tigers are mostly found in dense forests of Sunderbans in West Bengal, regions of Tripura and Assam as well as in certain places in central India. A tiger essay in English must contain some details about the majestic appearance of a tiger. A tiger has a large and strong body with brown fur and black vertical stripes. It has four legs, a large head, a long striped tail and a pair of glowing, ferocious eyes. Its feet are padded and it has sharp claws. It hunts and chews on its prey with its four sharp teeth.

The National Animal

Tiger is the national animal of India. Therefore, tigers are considered very sacred in India. Several folkloric tales contain stories about tigers. In Hindu mythology, tigers often act as vahana or mount for some Indian goddesses like Durga. Tigers are full of glorious might and unmatchable bravery. However, tigers are quite recluse creatures in their habitat, unlike lions. Although full of courage and power, tigers prefer to stay within their territories. The home of the tiger is called a “lair”. Therefore, most tigers live inside their lair and territory. However, any national animal tiger essay will remain incomplete without discussing the family of tigers.

Habit

The female tiger is called a “tigress” and the offspring is called a “cub”. Unlike lions, male tigers do not stay in their lairs to protect them from attack. Both tigers and tigresses practice hunting during the day and sleep at night. A tiger’s roar is extremely loud and powerful. It communicates with the other tigers through its roars. Tigers are very clever animals. Their hunting tactics include hiding behind thick bushes and suddenly attacking their prey. Tigers generally eat small animals like deer, bullocks, antelope, etc. Tigers are often called man-eaters, however, they only prey on humans when they’re harmed by humans or cannot find any other animal to prey on.

Although this tiger essay states details about the power of a tiger, this tiger information in an English essay would be invalid without mentioning the kindness and generosity tigers display. Tigers are considered very kind creatures. They tend to share their prey with tigers outside their territories. Oftentimes, a male tiger raises cubs on his own without the tigress’s help. Tigers raise orphaned cubs belonging to other tigers as well.

Tiger Hunting and the Need for Conservation

Therefore, tigers tend to be extremely kind towards other, unrelated tigers. However, humans have not been so kind to tigers. This tiger essay writing would be incomplete without stating how humans treat tigers for their valuable skin, nails and bones. Tigers are one of the most endangered animals in the world. They are hunted by humans for their valuable skin, nails and bones. Humans also capture tigers in zoos, away from wildlife, which makes the animal unhappy.

They must be allowed to live and mate in their natural habitat, which again should be conserved. Like lions, tigers are tertiary or third-level consumers in a forest ecosystem. They feed on primary (herbivores) and secondary consumers and help in energy transmission in the food chain. Therefore, from an ecological point of view, tigers must be conserved to maintain balance in the ecosystem.

And with that, the tiger essay in English comes to its conclusion. In this essay, the behaviour of tigers, their diet and their hunting practices have been discussed. From this tiger essay, it can be concluded that tigers are very important creatures of wildlife.

My Favourite Animal Tiger- Essay in English

Tiger is the national animal of India. It is a wild animal found in places of West Bengal, Assam, central India, etc. In my favourite animal tiger essay, some characteristics of the tiger are discussed.

A short paragraph on tiger: The tiger is considered a sacred animal in India. It is present in numerous Indian folklores and is associated with Indian goddesses such as the goddess Durga. The tiger is a symbol of power, bravery and might.

The tiger is a carnivore and it preys on animals such as deer, bullocks, antelopes, etc. the female tiger is called the “tigress” and the offspring is the “cub”. Tigers live in “lairs”. They communicate with each other through roars and are recluse animals. Tigers are very kind to one another. However, humans kill tigers for their skin and nails and capture them in zoos away from the wildlife which makes them unhappy.

Therefore, from this short essay on tigers, it can be concluded that tigers are very important in maintaining the balance of the environment. They are a symbol of power and rage. However, they are endangered and should be protected from human cruelties.

Content included in Tiger Essay by Vedantu

Vedantu has included all the necessary information about the tiger. Students will learn about the habitat of the tiger-like most of the tiger population found in the Sunderbans of West Bengal and the jungle of Assam. Also, students learn about the differences between tigers and lions. An essay talks about the intellectual tactics of the tiger during hunting and its kindness of sharing prey with other tigres. Vedantu experts have added numerous interesting facts about it in the essay.

They have even explained why tigers are the sacred animal in India, their territory, i.e. lair, and so many other different things.

Vedantu provides you with correct and intellectual information that helps you understand the core knowledge. Students can find the desired answers at the Vedantu from our different subject matter experts.

For example, an essay on the tiger has appeared across different platforms and in the exams.
