Good morning meshers hope tuko salama sana,,, it's a new month let's learn something big. The Tiger.

Tiger stripes are unique. Like the human fingerprint, each tiger’s stripe pattern is one of a kind. Tigers can use their ears to communicate. A tigress uses the white spots on the back of her ears to communicate with her cubs. India has over half the world’s population of tigers. This makes counting them quite a logistical challenge! In 2018 India’s national tiger survey made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the largest camera trap exercise in the world. One meal a week. For tigers only one in ten hunts are successful; a large deer can provide a tiger with one week's food. The vocal repertoire of tigers is vast. They grunt, growl, roar, moan, snarl, chuff, hiss and gasp. It's thought that each vocalisation is used to communicate different things. Tigers have been around for over 2 million years. On average two tigers are seized from traffickers every week. Despite an increase in tiger populations, they remain under threat from the illegal wildlife trade
